There are 6 rooms like this and an apartment/kitchen.

These are some believers from Mexico that came to work at the Lifehouse. They loaded a 53 foot truck with supplies for Mexico. We enjoyed meeting them.

Playing music at the Nursing Home

In March we went to play music on the piano, trumpet and violin at a local nursing home.
We also sang as a family.





I painted and decorated this box

"We must take our troubles to the LORD, but we must do more than that;
we must also leave them there."

Hannah Whitall Smith

“....He LIVES, He LIVES! Christ Jesus, Lives today... He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way. He lives, He lives, Salvation to impart....
You ask me how I know He lives.... He lives, within my heart!”

Hymn: "He Lives"

Acts 16:31

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and Thou shalt be saved."

Acts 16:31

This is the day...

....that the Lord has MADE!

-Psalm 118

The peasant bodice with elastic in the neck and sleeves.
Elastic creates such pretty, feminine, gathers :-)
