The Cordle Fam

I am so thankful for the time we had to spend together this past weekend!

There was lots to celebrate…Anna Catherine turning 22! Caroline turning 19! The Hapatoochet coming out of winter hibernation allowing us to spend some brief but very refreshing moments on the lake! (Many thanks to the Garlingtons!)

But ofcoarse The Greatest Celebration was the death and resurrection of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the magnitude of what that means to us! A fresh word for me was from Luke 24 …

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus….As they talked about all that had happened on their way to the village of Emmaus, Jesus came up and walked with them; but they were not able to recognize who He was. When they reached the village they urged Jesus to stay with them still not knowing who He was… So He stayed and when He was at the table with them, He took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized HIM! They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us and opened the Scriptures to us?” They found the other disciples and worshiped together saying, “IT IS TRUE! THE LORD HAS RISEN!”

My prayer is that our eyes will be opened and we will recognize Him in ways we never have before! I pray that our hearts will burn within us with a passion to Know Him and His Word and to ask Him to open the Scriptures to us just like He did for the disciples! And I pray that we may truly Love Him with All of our heart, mind, soul, and strength!

Praises to Him!

much love to all,

mom

Just a reminder that all of you make us such proud parents! I will post the picture of our proud moment with Anna Catherine on Saturday if I can figure out how… (Thanks, Bo!)

Anna Catherine with her MOST ENTHUSIASTIC award (for the fourth year!!!) and her most improved Scholastic award!!!

Yep…ole mom and dad have been battling some of this cold stuff going around. We both lost and ended up at the Dr. He’s given us enough drugs that things should be looking better! This has set us back somewhat in our training program, but hopefully we can get back going soon. Never take for granted good health and do everything you can to maintain it!

“I thank my God every time I remember you.”

“Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart…”

Philippians 1:3 NIV /Message

Happy Valentines Day (or as Anna Catherine’s friend would say Valentimes)

“Keep company with The LORD and see how He loves..not with caution, but extravagantly..not in order to get something but to give everything..LOVE LIKE THAT!”

Ephesians 5:1-2 (The Message)

Evrybody love evrybody? (as Todd would say)
