Nichols Notes: A Time to Celebrate

What a week it was!! Ken came down with a bad cold last week....and is just starting to feel better today. now i think Joel is coming down with the same thing. We were planning on going to Kurt and Heidi's last Friday...but changed our plans and will go down this Friday instead. With all the colds floating around we thought it would be better to go when every one's feeling good:)

Saturday afternoon our dear friends from church, Howard and Lola Scarbrough brought a wonderful dinner over for us. We were so grateful for the meal....and it was simply delicious!!!

Sunday evening Jason and Emily invited us over for pizza......"Homemade"......crust and everything! We really enjoyed our meal and time of visiting. I have included some pics from the evening!

Today....perhaps the greatest moment a person could witness....a friend of ours accepted Jesus as his Saviour. There are so many people hurting in this world we live in....and weighed down with so many problems. The good news is that no matter our circumstances and despair....we have an almighty God that loves and cares for us.....and wants to carry the burden as we face life's trials.....and in Him we become complete and filled with hope!!
I saw God work in a miraculous way today...through prayer...the ministry of some dear friend's in Christ...and a man's life has been changed forever!!! The Angel's Rejoiced!!!

Where are you? Have you given up? Do you feel you have no hope? Are you impacted so much by our world and the shape it's in that you don't know where to turn? The answer is Jesus....the Son of God....who died on the cross and carried the burden for your sins and mine....who stands at the door and knocks...and offers everlasting life....an eternity in heaven....all you have to do is say "yes" and invite him into your heart...repent..."change your mind"...and He will never leave you or forsake you!!

I know this for a fact......Praise God I made this decision along time ago...and have experienced joy and comfort in my life...unlike what the world can give...and yes....even in the midst of our valleys God is there and faithful ...He carries us through!

This, my friends , is a bold email....and maybe it's not what you want to hear....or believe...but I felt the need to share this today...and if you ever have questions...we are here to answer them the best we can....and if we can't, we will direct you to people who can! Thanks for reading:)

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
