~ We've Got WATER !!! [0= ~



Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say REJOICE !!!!

I am doing a HAPPY DANCE and I CRIED when the water came on !   Thank you Lord for sending the fellows Doug and Rudy to to come along side us to bring water into our house again.  I am SO thankful.  I will be visiting more tomorrow.  Today after all the work on the water line then we are off to town to Curling.  This will be the last practice till the new year.  I hope starting tomorrow that I can blog more on our Christmas celebrations. 

I feel like singing Oh what a BEAUTIFUL morning  oh what a beautiful day !!!  ( from Oklahoma )

I'm praising the Lord for your water! That is wonderful news. I will be on very sporadically for the rest of the year. DH is back home and off for two weeks and my family is driving down from WA state this weekend.

I'm not ready!

Well praise be to Adonai for He has Provides the water for a bountiful life! - He is the Living Waters!

Makes me think of the Israelites in the desert, with the rock that followed them through the desert, to provide water for them to drink.

Oh, Mary, I'm so happy for you. I was wondering if it all worked or not. It's great to hear that it did work and that things are flowing now. Praise God. :)

Yeah, water! I have been praying for the states that have been so badly affected by the drought.

I look forward to your next blog on the Christmas fun. I enjoy reading about what others are doing during this season.

Hi Mary-that's wonderful. I'm so glad for you! When you've been without water, turning the faucet and seeing water come out of it is like a miracle! LOL Holly

Praise God!!!!!! I'm so happy for you, and in reading about your adventures in the quest for water, I'm reminded how many wonderful blessings I so often take for granted. I'm thanking God today for the many blessings He's given me - including running water! - as I thank Him on your behalf!

Blessings,
Kym

Praise the Lord!

I am so excited that you have water again. My boys are thrilled as we have all been praying for you. I love when they get to see prayers answered like this.

I think your graphic here is really neat. I have no clue how to do such a thing. Ditto with your Title signs in your sidebars......very cool.

Blessings,
tracy

Halleluia! God is good! Now you can eat off of real plates at Christmas and not make your family bring them! Then the boys can wash them...yes? God be glorified! Who would have thought that you'd be saying this before Christmas! Prayer is wonderful! God is wonderful! Thanks to the two guys who came and helped too!
