Rest,Rest,and More Rest!

O My where do I begin! Our time spent with our family was full,fun,filled,feasting,fabulous,fantastic,action packed 15 day's, it seemed we were filling each day with as much as one could fill a day, even tho there were days we did not leave the house! 
Dad and I would try to wake up early to spend time with the Lord before the house was filled with pitter, patter,and chatter----with in an hour or 2 we would hear the footsteps of 2 little boys! Nyah and Sasha so sweet these boys,coming down the stairs one at a time--"waking up with smiles on their faces,running over to Grampa and I with hugs and kisses,then off to the floor they would go happily to play with their legos,building creatively their little boats,planes,trains,ferry's you name it. 
Ronnie would either already be up scouting around the property,looking for a sunrise, or coming down the stairs with a wave.---V-was last to wake with baby ella,then our day would begin it's course.
Back tracking-------
When Dad and I knew the plans of the Kid's coming for a visit,we placed our request before the Lord that He would prepare this time, {"covering us,---protecting us,---guarding us,in Christ Jesus"},
"watching over Dad" especially due to what stress could do to His body, Brain,being over stimulated by the excitement, noise, chaos,etc. 
"We Praise the Lord for answered prayer","Glorifying and honoring our Father in Heaven for answering that request" 
Our Lord is so beyond Good, so beyond Faithful,Our words to try and describe what our hearts hold deep in gratitude only the Lord knows our thankfulness.
We were given so much Grace during this time, the Lord allowed opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Our Son Ronnie,{"I Love how the Lord opened that door"}! 
                                                                "Israel" 
The daily news was about things heating up in Israel and Dad and I were talking about it and Ronnie asked: Why do you guys keep talking about Israel,{Not remembering His exact words},another words what's the Big deal!
 Because God said that in the last days, Jerusalem would play a key role: “I will make Jerusalem like an intoxicating drink that makes the nearby nations stagger when they send their armies to besiege Jerusalem and Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock. All the nations will gather against it to try to move it, but they will only hurt themselves” (Zechariah 12:2–3).
 Psalms 15:8 -10 God always stands by his covenant--the commitment he made to a thousand generations.This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant: 
The Lord Used this "tiny Nation" to open the door once again to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
and to also help Ronnie understand what "He is being saved from"!-----------------
                                 His Sin------------Eternal Death, {separation from The Lord}------------
Jesus is the only way we are made right in the sight of God!  The God of Abraham Issac and Jacob!
As much was shared, our prayer is that the Lord would "not allow" our Son to ignore" or have rest in his soul about what the Lord allowed as opportunity to show Ronnie until He turns towards Jesus! 
As God's Partners we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God's kindness and then ignore it.
                                                  Today is the day of Salvation!

Ronnie and Viana
So as you read this believers in Jesus Christ, Pray with us that our Son Ronnie and His Wife Viana will come into Salvation soon. to open eyes that are blind,{Spiritually Blind} to free captives from prison {Unbelief}and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.{Sin-Ignorance}Isaiah 42:7
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
We have Faith, Trust, and so much hope that the Lord will answer this prayer. We are persistent, fervent, and earnest in interceding on their behalf, 
What the Lord showed Dad and I is that as we are ambassadors for Christ Jesus,we are to be prepared to give an answer,unashamed, gently,carefully,with so much "Love".
We are so blessed the Lord allowed this time with our family, I will miss my babies dearly, My Son and Viana,------------------We thank the Lord that he gave us this time,
It is He who we glorify and praise for His grace and Mercy over our family, 
Dad and I continue to seek the Lord and acknowledge Him no matter what things look like to us, God has ordained and knows all things and "our part" is to trust Him with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding, walk in obedience to His word and will, knowing God in all His wisdom knows and has the power of our futures.............we look,wait,expectantly for the salvation of our sons and daughters-----------
these two little precious boys,Nyah and Sasha would not allow us to eat without thanking Jesus 1st----------and they each had to pray--So we ask the Lord use these boys how ever He will-------------
Every night Grampa and I were able to share  story with the boy's and pray over them before they sleep. 
So we Pray also the Lord will work His good purpose in and through these boys.
Dad and I are resting------------,resting-------------------and resting some more! 
We thank the Lord for watching over us, 
Dad had a few hard days with headaches, fighting seizures, heavy weakness on his left side-----------------all in all we have nothing really  to complain about. We woke up today alive and well,able to thank the Lord for another day!
Cancer in general, you do not see the area affected,there are no bandages, broken limbs to Identify the problems------you can only see the deficit as it takes its toll on Dad's speech, mobility,ability to do normal everyday things, the brain tells the body what to do......And today the brain said wake up, you've been given another day to Live, thank the Lord.
