Saturday surprise

Plans yesterday, were to head into Edmonton for a Promise Keepers event with Blaine, Joey and a bunch of friends from our church, Lloyd Gospel Fellowship and then back home by Saturday evening. Well are you ready? Because I sure wasn't ready for all that God had prepared for this event. It all started with Lennet Anderson opening the event last evening and this guy is an absolute fire cracker. Diane and I were blessed to be able to share at his church back in Nova Scotia last fall. So after his excellent presentation I went back to say hi and introduce the boys to him. He asked all about how the ranch was going and what stage we were at and that he hadn't seen Jim for a bit as he was on his cross Canada tour and a bit busy. Then this morning I spoke with a friend that was there from Caronport and builds concrete plants and has concrete trucks. After telling him about the ranch he said he just might be able to help us with a cement truck and he could work on getting together a batch plant for us before summer. WOW what a sweet miracle this would be and how timely! P.T.L. Then I was blessed to be able to go with Eric Rounce and his boys for lunch at a very nice Vietnamese restaurant and as we sat and talked about the ranch a gentleman sitting next to us apologized for evesdropping on our conversation. He said he had to ask a bit about the ranch project that we were working on. So after explaining about the ranch and what it was all about he said that the archectectural firm that he was a part of would love to get involved and do whatever they could do to help a project like this be built. I'll never forget Eric's comment after the gentelman left, he said, "now, that was a God moment! We are also meeting with the well drillers this week and may have some more pipe for corrals so bit by bit it does seem to be coming together. Oh yes, we also have another committed Mechanic ready to help out at the ranch.

God definitley blessed a bus load of men seeking to be men of God in thier homes, communities and their churches. Did you know that if a woman is beautiful when she is young it's because God made her that way. Now if she remains beautiful in the rest of her years it's because of how the man in her life treats her, so men treat your wives the way God shows you not the way the world tells you and you will have a beautiful friend forever. The women in our lives need always to be cherished and loved.

Men we are accountable to a higher standard.

1 Corinthians 16:13 (The Message)

^"13-14Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you've got, be resolute, and love without stopping."

We hope and pray that you find and attend a church today and even better it would be great to see you there. May today be the day that you open your heart to the King if Kings and Lord of Lords as He is waiting to change your life into a blessing for the Kingdom of God and the world that you live in. Your friends Harold and Diane
