Happy Birthday Jonathan


(Sorry, never posted this..)

Jonathan had a perfect birthday today....

We managed 4 1/2 innings of family baseball, then we headed to McDonald's for playland and burgers, then, during our chamber music, Papa Louie came and took Jonathan out for ice cream at Nelson's and showed him all around Stillwater where he used to live and grow up. Then Jonathan took his 2 little brothers and the neighbor boy to the batting cages for more baseball. I even batted a few from the 50mph cage...swing and miss, and a few hits too! After the cages we had brats and beans with Papa and finished the evening off with the All Star Baseball game, and cake and ice cream!

I threw in a couple photos of the cats as they live in our laundry room and the photos are cute.

My Dad had another round of chemo, so as always, another round of prayers is much appreciated. He has been fishing a bit which is a gift in itself, and he even caught his limit. I need prayer for a few things too, getting run down a bit, and still lots to do. But, Praise our Lord, we sold our home, so we hope to close mid August!

Love from Alesia and Chris

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
