Blessed Beyond Measure

Allyson writes:  Growing up I always looked forward to the day I would be married and have a family of my own.  However, I honestly never imagined that marriage could be as wonderful as it is or that raising children could be this fun!  The LORD has far exceeded all my expectations with the amazing husband he has blessed me with, who fears the Lord and strives to lead our family with utmost integrity.  He has also blessed us with the most precious children who teach us and bless our hearts tremendously through their childlike faith and contagious, ongoing giggles.  Even as I write this post, Hannah and Lauren are playing and laughing together while singing Bible verses.  Music to my ears!  I am an incredibly happy wife (help meet) and mama!  :)

Reed-Prescott Reunion

On the weekend of Feb. 8-9, six out of the seven Reed and Prescott families descended upon Bethal Christian Camp in Gaston, SC.  We enjoyed some wonderful meals together, a beautiful bonfire on a chilly night as we roasted marshmallows and made smores, and treasured time together that never seems to last long enough.  We gathered from Columbia, Chicago, and China.  It was so much fun to see all the cousins together now that they are old enough to play with one another.  There are now 11 grandchildren in all - ranging from 5 months - 6 yrs.  How blessed we are to be part of a family that is serving the Lord all over the world!
