Christmas memories~by Beth


Why is it that you spend many weeks and months planning special celebrations for Christmas and they seem to pass by with the speed of a freight train? We were so blessed to have Nathan home for over 5 weeks while he was on furlough from the ALERT Academy. It went by too fast, but we so enjoyed the time together. As you can see, Nathan has a very close relationship with his sister Katie. They love to spend time together, call each other, e-mail or just hang out when they can. Nathan just melds into the family routine. He always helps out with whatever is needed and pays a lot of attention to all the little people of the family. He truly is a family guy. I think God is blessing him because his heart is right toward God. Nathan was able to again work for his old boss here in Cape Coral during the weeks he was home. The economy has been hard on all businesses and Nathan's boss Jerry has had a hard year. In fact, Jerry has even been contemplating running his business out of his home and save on lease cost. But, God blesses his business whenever Nathan is working for him. Right away the first day and the following days, business picked up significantly. Jerry wanted Nathan to stay, but Nathan is committed to ALERT right now. Please pray for Jerry and PC Solutions that they may prosper.
Nathan also told us when he got home that he had been promoted to Sargeant. What can we say except that we are so proud of him. He is such a good example to the younger children of loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. I hope that Stephen will get the opportunity to know Nathan as the older children do. They all adore him and love to talk to him on the phone.
