Well we started off having coffee and Easter Braided Cheese Bread, a recipe shared by a friend and it is great tasting stuff...Sharing time with my husband is always a wonderful time for us...As we were sharing our coffee and cheese bread the phone started ringing
with a call from my father-in -law, our daughter Melisa and her beauties and my step-daughter from Canada and our grandchildren there all wishing Dave a Happy Birthday, yes it was Easter and also Dave's birthday. So Dave was wished Happy Birthday and was sung to first thing by little grandchildren, what a nice thing to happen.
So finally, I was able to say Happy Birthday to this great guy I am married to. He is a great husband, friend, father and grandfather as well... He is loved by his family and many friends and extended family...
Off to church to enjoy wonderful worship, thanks Daniel and crew... Worship was so
wonderful today, it was truly anointed. The kids in Friendship Clubhouse blessed us with really good songs, done well, thanks Mike... Oh yeh; and David Tomford brought one of his new lambs in with the skit and that was a huge hit, thanks David.
Followed by Pastor Mikes sharing and a new message for Easter, I was ministered to by his work again, thanks Pastor Mike...
Off back home to prepare for the 15 people that we are preparing dinner for. I had help this year, my daughter Kayla prepared a carrot cake and that is yummy and my daughter-in-law Julie contributed some cheesy potatoes and some deviled eggs. She is always willing to help out. Thanks Kayla and Julie for your help... So with all of our family here and extra folks from extended family and extra friends from church we proceeded to have a wonderful dinner... There is something special sharing a meal with others. I think this is meant to be a good thing from the beginning of time... I
love having times like this and it is special to share with family and friends....
So everyone is gone and we are back to me and my hubby sharing the remainder of our evening together, what a nice feeling... A great ending to a great day... Thank-You Lord for our family and friends and for the great Resurrection, the greatest gift of all....He has Risen Indeed.....

Yet Another LaFaver Wedding
I am very happy to be writing to share about our wonderful week-end... Our son Nathanael finally, after a three year relationship married a wonderful young woman, Sarah Ann Rowland... It truly was a good day.Nathan and Sarah meant three years ago in January, they had a long friendship relationship and then a year or so later they entered into a courtship on Valentines Day two years ago and two years later on March 1st the entered into marriage. I want to take a moment and say that they have both honored the Lord and their parent's in their relationship and kept them selves pure with each other. I am excited to see what the Lord has for them and Dave and I believe that great things are instore for them... It was soevident that the Holy Spirit was there and a few people mentioned that to us in the receiving line at the church. We are proud of you both, Nathan and Sarah and we love you both very much.
Needless to say that this event brought Melisa, John and 3 lovely little ladies around again. Those little ladies would be Hannah, Rachel and Sarah. All three of them had been asked to be the flower girls in their Uncle Nates and know Aunt Sarahs wedding... They were so adorable. We enjoyed our time with all of our children, Robert and Julie and Kayla and Jesse, we enjoyed being with you all and sharing time with you as family... This was really delightful for Dad and I and we enjoyed each and every one of you, we always look forward to family times... I must admit when we got home Sunday night we did look quite forward to getting our things taken care of and just sitting down in our new home in Madrid and just relax. Traveling is tiring...
It was wonderful to see so many people from our church travel to this event and for all of you who were able to make the trip and to be there to support Nate and Sarah, thank-you very much... I know that Nate and Sarah were quite happy about the support from family and church family and friends. Dave and I have come to realize just how important our church family is to us and to our children's lives too. Truly you all our family to us, we want you all to know how important you are to us, you all really are our family... About 3 or 4 years ago that was spoken in prophecy over one of our children... It was said like this "God wants you to know that in this church, this is your family, aunt's and uncles and grandparent's and so on and so forth, you are family here." That is truly comforting to all of us...
Thank-you for all of your support to Dave and I and each of our children and now extended family... It is greatly appreciated and it is not unnoticed....
On that note I will close my latest blog... Congratulations to you Nate and to you to Sarah LaFaver....
We love you both very much....
