What do you celebrate?

Good afternoon from Costa Rica!
This has been a great week so far, we have had visitors off and on all week! Monday Afternoon Vilma and her son Carlos and his friend Christian came to spend the night. We have been friends with Vilma and her husband for sometime now and she is one of the leaders in our church.  Her husband Eleizer still hasn't made that commitment to GOD, we are praying for his salvation! pray with us for this family!


Vilma started coming to our church with her son to Bible School then to Sunday School. She asked JESUS in her heart and was baptized 4 years ago. She has been faithful to GOD and the church and is wanting to learn more about the Bible! That was one of the first things she said when she came, "I want to read the Bible together while I am there at your house!"


So while the boys played Legos here on the porch, Franklin Vilma and I read Romans 8 together and it answered some questions she had about predestination. We are predestined be children of GOD and to worship GOD, and HE has made room for all of us in Heaven, it is our choice whether or not we follow JESUS and go to Heaven. GOD has done everything HE can, and HE won't force us to choose HIM, GOD has given us a free will.
So this weekend as we celebrate our risen Saviour JESUS CHRIST, let's remember it isn't about you & me; it's about HIM! JESUS gave HIS life on the cross for our sins so we can be clean and come before our great and TRUE GOD, clean and ready to receive our inheritance along with our big brother JESUS! What a privilege to be a part of the family of GOD!
JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
