Four fine sons, how wonderful! Our eldest daughter and husband have five
sons, 12, 14, 16, 23 and 25 1/2 yrs. All are very active in church. Learning
to be involved. The two oldest hold ministerial licenses. The oldest has been
married 5 1/2 yrs and just learned that they are going to be parents for the
first time. That means Falla will be a Great-grandmother the last of Jan.2010.
Husband and I are VERY excited about that.
We have 15 grandsons, and 5 granddaughters, all in church and love GOD!
Some are small and don't have the Holy Ghost yet but our 11 and 12 yr old
grandchildren and up all have received the Holy Ghost.
Bro. Timmy, I will tell you that we all must have the help of Almighty GOD
to raise our children. We did the best we could and somehow trusting God
for the rest, we have six adult children, married to their original spouses,
20 kids between them, (our grands) and all involved in the work of the Lord.
God has honored something in our lives as there is not a smoker, drinker, or
druggie in the bunch. They are hard workers, respectable citizens in our
community, and other blessings from Almighty God.
I am saying that God in our lives have made the difference.
That 'training
up was not easy and we had our times. They are age 34-49 now and have
their own children. Now that they are parents, they understand the value
of "training up in the fear and admonition of the Lord". And we are standing
behind them in prayer and loving support of their families.
Blessings on your fine family.
