Lord’s Supper for Homebound

Last night, David and I were honored to be part of a team that went to the home of Mr. Phillip (92) and Mrs. Annie Bell Harrell (90).  I cannot explain the emotions of such a night, but it was so inspiring.  The Harrells have worked hard, raised a family, and served faithfully for so many years.  Their second great, great grandchild will be born later this year.  The have lived a life that inspires so many.  Love abounds in all they do.  What a blessing it is to know then and to know they know and serve God!

  • Many great articles
  • First article (retiring missionaries)
    • A couple we know was included in this group.  Jennie and Boyd were thankful to be present and a part of the celebration.  Many people in the Amite area will remember the Ichter family from the 1950’s.  That the family of the lady who is retiring.  Other members, in a new generation, are still serving in another part of the world.  What a legacy for the family!

(My grandmother, Jennie Wilkinson Draughon’s, favorite hymn!)

My heart is tender with thoughts of families with great Christian family values and legacies.  It is also proud of a nation with a legacy of great Christian values.  Let’s pray for families and for America today!
