Oh yes, and since I live alone, even though I have some good friends, there is nothing in this world that is as precious and wonderful as being in touch with and hearing the strong, manly voice of my son Bill. You fill my heart with joy and my "castle" with songs of Thanksgiving! I loveyou, my son Bill.Love, Mom YOUR ACCOUNT HELP CENTER HELP FORUM This email was sent to you because you indicated that you'd like to receive email notifications for text messages.

I am definitely NOT "extended family," son Bill. I am your mom. You are a precious part of me/part of who you are is part of me. For all of your life I have prayed for you and loved you. Yes, we have had a few ups and downs, but those are all water under the bridge and in recent years you have been a delightful blessing in my life. Wonderful phone calls, kindly prayers, happy gift exchanges, the super wonderful gift of you and your family visiting for my 89th birthday! And the subsequent super delightful Thanksgiving visit with you in your beautiful home there in Windsor. With us living at great distance from each other, it has been a great comfort and joy to be together by phone from time to time. After thinking about your text for several hours, I can not figure out any reason for a choice to be silent toward your 88 year old, widowed mom who lives so far away, loves you so much and is so greatly blessed by your communication. I can not figure out why you would do that to...

Yes, life has many seasons. I think I understand. Thank you very much for explaining. I am very grateful for your love and prayers and will look forward to you being in touch when the time is right. Meantime, of course, you and your family will remain strongly in my prayers.

Hi Bill, Praying that you, Madhvi, Aaron and Sharon are keeping well and enjoying the fruits of summer...I trust that the flooding in Vermont did not effect any travel or vacation plans you may have had, and that no friends of yours were adversely affected. Over here, triple digit temperatures mid-day and cool nights are said to be favorable for the potatoes, so we are grateful, looking toward harvest, but cautious as to what time of day we venture out. I am puzzled by your long silence... Please, forgive me if I have said, done or failed to say or do something to which you took offence. I love you and just want to be in touch. It's a comfort and joy to hear your voice and ask you for prayer. Please, let me know how we can be back in touch. You are, of course, VERY special to me and are always in my prayers.

Good Morning, Bill. You know that I am always praying for your health and well-being. Are you rested now from the busy time at the end of each school year? Do you have any special vacation plans? I always enjoy hearing about your various adventures. A photo of you and your family on a mountain top, maybe in New Hampshire, is a favorite. It's on my bookshelf where I am blessed to see it every day where I sit to pray, and read the Psalm with the same number as the day. "Oh Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in ALL the earth. You have set Your glory above the heavens." Yes, that's Psalm 8:1. It would be wonderful to hear from you, and be blessed with the sound of your voice and the words of your praying. In the mighty Name of Jesus may God bless you. Love, Mom To respond to this text message, reply to this email or visit Google Voice.

Whose name is at the very top of the list for a business, a corporation, a charity organization? Yes, you're right when you say: "the CEO." Who is at the top of your list? Paul writes this to the Philippians:"God desires that your attitude be like the attitude Jesus had. Although he is the Son of God, he did not cling to his rights, but humbled Himself and appeared in human form. And, in human form, he humbled himself even further by dying on a cross. BECAUSE he humbled himself under the shadow of mighty hand of GOD, the LORD RAISED CHRIST UP TO THE HEIGHTS OF HEAVEN, AND GAVE HIM THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME! So that, at the Name of JESUS, every/ that is:EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO JESUS CHRIST, BOTH ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN. And EVERY tongue will confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. Be very careful, Brothers and Sisters, always to honor Christ in word and deed." Wow! EVERY KNEE to bow and EVERY tongue to confess that JESUS CHRIST ...

Flower food by my "green thumb" friend Linda, is overflowing with bright blossoms and buds! My newest reading project is the Tom Meyer book on Proverbs...putting each Proverbs in it's appropriate cultural setting to enhance our understanding of its meaning. He has a Master's Degree in Hebrew culture studies from Jerusalem University! Anyway, that's the report from here.

Good Saturday after the end of school for the year! Praying that each and all of you are keeping well and being blessed by the blossoms and buds, (but not the bugs) of summer! Thousands of dainty white blossoms have appeared in acres and acres of farmland around us, showing promise of an abundant harvest of potatoes. The Japanese brothers who have a very large potato farming enterprise were once asked: What is your personal favorite kind of potato? Without hesitation, one brother replied:"The kind we can sell!" In their operation they grow "fingerling" white potatoes, a favorite, I am told, for gourmet cooks and high class restaurants! Do YOU have a favorite way you like potatoes? What would you guess to be my favorite? If you say:"Mom's favorite is a baked white potato with butter, sour cream, grated sharp cheddar cheese and chopped chives, you would be 100% correct! Do you have any special plans for the summer? Thank you for postcards from your occasiona...

In the mighty Name of Jesus may God bless you, Bill, and your precious family. I pray that this has been a good week for you, that you are prospering in Spirit and in health. Are you studying anything special in Scripture? Any book, or chapter or theme? In one of my three little Bible study groups we looked at Psalm 46, this week. King Hezekiah did as the Lord commanded and was greatly blessed. It's interesting that Psalm 46, by the sons of Korah, as you know, celebrates the victory God gave over the 185,000 warriors of the Assyrian General Sennacherib! Anyway, I have "graduated" from physical therapy and have three pages of diagrams and instructions for home exercises! Gaining strength in my arms and legs is the continuing goal, of course. I wonder if you will be able to come for a visit. It would be so very wonderful to see you. My friend Nancy works for Marriott Hotels and can get you a favorable rate through her "Friends and Family" discount authorization.....

A strong blessing from the Apostle Paul concludes his letter to the Ephesians:"May God give you PEACE, dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and LOVE with your Faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Grace of God be upon all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with constant love. Amen."(Ephesians 6:23-24) Yes, my "walking with Jesus" friend, throughout the Bible there are declarations of blessing, called:Benedictions. Would we be wise to speak a Benediction together as we go into our day? Jude 23-24, is a great one:"NOW, unto GOD, who is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the Presence of His glory with exceedingly great joy, To the only wise God, our Savior, be glory and Majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen." Let's often be blessed ourselves, and bless others as we speak Biblical blessings into our days and our situations Friend:"May the Lord bless you and keep you, make His face s...

Good Saturday morning, Bill, and "Happy Fathers'Day, again. I hope the gift from me, via Amazon, did arrive...and that all is well with you and your family. Do you have any special plans for tomorrow? Have you finished school for the year? Dallas Theological Seminary is offering a free on-line class on the Gospel of John. It's exciting that such an historic institution is offering to share the wealth of the knowledge of their instruction, for the spreading of Bible Study! I signed up, and received the first lesson via email! Are you in any special Bible study project now? Anyway, praising the Lord that everything is going well with me, and hoping everything is going well with you. Today's, "walking with Jesus" meditation reminded me of your faithful family morning devotions in which I was blessed to share when I was with you. I want to share it/send it, just to share the joy of the provisions of the Lord when He blesses us with His Word, His wisdom and His ...

In the mighty Name of Jesus may God bless you and your family, Bill. Please forgive me for not catching up with you via text on Saturday, which I have tried to make a habit. I overdid badly on Friday and slept most of Saturday and Sunday. Having issues with my breathing is very tiring...I am trying to re-adjust my meds and supplements to bring about improvement in my heart-lung function...anyway, after an abundance of rest Saturday and Sunday I am thankful to be doing much better today. And I hope that you four are doing well. Is the school year finished in Windsor? Do you have any special plans for the summer? Your nice screened porch must be a very pleasant place to relax and read now with warmer weather. I am so grateful that you generously invited me to be with you in your lovely home for Thanksgiving 2015...I am especially thankful for all your kindness to enable me to see the wedding video! It's so wonderful to re-play those exciting scenes! In my mind. SO many thank yous. I...

Good Sunday afternoon, Bill. Praying that you, Madhvi, Aaron and Sharon are each and all doing well. Did your Saturday slip into history very fast yesterday also? Anyway, THIS is in lieu of my usual Saturday sharing. Strength and stability as to arms, legs and balance continue to increase, thanks to Physical therapy. And I am starting a home exercise routine in an effort to speed up the re-strengthening process...Now, if a way can be found to increase my stamina...that will be very good. School finished here on May 25. Have you finished the school year in Windsor? Please, do you have any special plans for the summer? Travel? Camping? Visiting?

Hi Bill, delighted and thankful for your cordial reply. Yes, my eyes being fine is such a great blessing. A retired teacher friend who just turned 92, is struggling greatly with severe macular degeneration. My heart aches to know that Shirley can just barely see to use the microwave and is completely unable to read even her large print Bible, using the 14 power magnifier I got her. But she's a brave and courageous believer who is determined to live to be 100! It's a joy and blessing to have friends who are full of Faith and the joy of the Lord. Thank you for answering my bracelet question. I am always praying for you, Bill, and your family, that all things are working together for good, as you love the Lord and respond to His call.

Thank you, Bill, for clarifying which number you prefer to have me use. I will try to keep it straight. The bracelet question is: Please, does either beautiful Madhvi or lovely Sharon ware bracelets? Thank you. Hope you and your family are keeping well. Are you on summer vacation yet? School here got out on May 25th. Good eye check up, but cardiology report says the amount of fibrilation of my heart has increased...in practical terms it means my shortness of breath has increased, making any sustained activity difficult. I just adapt and keep going, thanking the Lord for all that I am able to do. In the mighty Name of Jesus may God bless you.

Dear Bill, Many thoughts and prayers for you as the school year comes to a conclusion. I hope it has been a fruitful year, with many highlights in teaching and in the achievements of the student blessed to have been under your teaching. In reading the parables of Jesus, it's continually amazing to realize how precise his teaching is. We are so very blessed to know Him. Grateful here for a good report from my optometrist: my eyes seem to have stabilized and are doing so well that I no longer need the shots for swelling. "See you in eight months," Dr. Allen said! Praising the Lord and praying that your eyes are doing well. Can you come visit? Even for a day or two this summer? I wish I were physically stronger to travel to Connecticut to see you, or travel to meet you on the scenic coast in Maine.

Praising the Lord that all is well with each and all of you. So grateful for your prayers and so glad to be in touch. Guess we are all praying for safe packing, safe travels and safe arrival and settling in Salt Lake City for cousin Doug and Cynthia in May. Monster BIG cultural change in the move...I am glad to know that there IS a Congregational Church in SLC! and I hope to be able to get there to hear Doug preach in person, as compared to hearing him via video link to Squantum.
