So I can 'see' your mom smiling down at you; she'd be so very proud of you to see you using your gifts to serve the Lord through the LWML, and in your daily life. Your comment reminds me of my mom's favorite fragrance: lilacs, which bloom about the time of her April birthday. Thanks for the thought to brighten a dreary fall day!

It is but one way that God keeps me connected to Him. In the broadcast for August 31 you mentioned the calendar verse that I had also read that day. I thank the Lord and you for sharing and tying in His Word from I Chronicles 28:30 and the assurance He is always with me. Precious time - all His time - to listen and the hear.

My sister and her husband, Rev. Dan Kunkel were missionaries in Ghana for 20 years and worked with Nicholas. Ella and I had Nicholas with us in Ft. Worth hiding him away before the video preview. Ella was back from Ghana and I was representing MT as their Young Woman Rep. Dan was one of the missionaries shown in the video, Salifu's Harvest. It was such a blessing for me to reconnect with Evangalist Salifu. I had the chance to show him Montana and he was able to speak and preach in Colstrip, Power and in Great Falls. He met my mother, Almeda who is 88 while in Power. She has written to him since 1987 and Zion Lutheran's LWML group has supported him finacially since then. He saw Almeda and said, "Grandma, I have finally met you, I can now tell my people that I have met Grandma." It was so sincere and touching that he appreciated all the love she had given him for 23 years. He continued on to WA to where Dan and Ella are serving now in Tonaskeet. He also went to Shelton, WA to stay with my nephew, Rev. Kris Kunkel. He was so excited to connect with his early Ghana church family. After visiting with him and growing close to him for the week, it is obvious that Salifu's Harvest Continues.

When ever we have that urge from the Lord to call someone we should! Those words of encouragement mean so much. My prayer is for the Lord to use me and may I be attentive to His call. Great message on listening and calling as well! I am always amazed at how our Lord in His perfect timing uses us to reach out to others.
