"In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge." Proverbs 14:26

With winter slowly ending, and spring quickly approaching, we have much for which to praise the Lord. Timothy surprised us with a couple days' visit at Christmas, and again for a few hours the first Sunday in February. Since he has been trucking, we've seen him more in the last several months than we have in a few years!

Samuel and Peter have spent many hours helping our friends build their house. Peter has also been finishing up his last few months of his senior year of school. In their "spare time" Bruce and the boys replaced a warped head on our car (a great lesson in auto mechanics!).

Naomi has learned to crochet this winter. She just crocheted a scarf and hat for her Aunt Rose. Now she is working on a baby afghan for her cousin's new baby. In her "spare time" she has been trying out new recipes for our meals (much to the delight of everyone!!).

Andrew continues to work at Commercial Electronics in Gate City, VA. He has been courting Katie Barker, a young lady from Bristol, VA. They are engaged to be married sometime within the next year.

Bruce is still looking for work. God is in control and He will provide in His time and way. Daily we are reminded of the Lord's never-ending love for us. He will never leave us or forsake us, and He encourages us to keep LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH. br>
