Unfilled

Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts,

Thou Fount of life, thou Light of men,

From the best bliss that earth imparts

We turn unfilled to thee again

The above lyrics (from a 12th century Latin hymn translated by Ray Palmer) remind us of the love Christ has for us. We never grow tired of dwelling on this love. We turn to him, hungry, every day. Everything this world offers pales in comparison to the riches of God in Christ! May God help us to remember these truths when we are weary. 

We are thankful that despite challenges, we continue to grow in the grace, knowledge and love of God. We see growth in our love towards each other as a family and extending to those around us. In the past month we have been privileged to have a few visitors. Some dear friends from WI drove down for a weekend. Also, Pastor Levi and his wife from Tinley Park, IL, took time from their schedule to have dinner in our RV. They were in town for the Reformed Episcopal Church Diocesan Synod.

We have experienced, the fall rains, the winter rains and are now entering the spring rains! We did not know Texas was such a rainy state. We have been informed the weather is abnormal!

Ed took his second-semester Greek mid-term last week. He is writing papers for his February class, Scripture and Hermeneutics. Last weekend he took the March class, Doctrines of God, Christ and Atonement. He is feeling a bit behind and is hoping to be able to complete all these papers in a timely fashion, while still learning Greek!

We are making plans for Esther's schooling for next year and appreciate prayers for wisdom in decision making.

We are looking forward to a visit from Melissa's parents! Esther is thrilled that grandma and grandpa are coming and will be able to watch her ride her bike!
