Some Friendly Correspondance

This was just a nice message and my reply that I decided to preserve for posterity...

Original message from Ashli:

I wanted to congratulate you on your blog being shown so well, and I’m so gratful too! I really love your writing and how you and your family have put up this site so well. It’s a very nice addition to family life and farm life. Plus, you all love the Lord so much, and that shows a lot too! It’s the warmth I see and enjoy that makes me read your posts!

I’ve read so much of your posts tonight, and it’s so late, but I wanted to just introduce myself and let you know I’ll be stoping by more often

I’m new to this place, but I just love reading everyone’s blogs

Thank you for your time, and warm blessings to you and yours,

Ashli & Family

Ashli,

Thank you for your nice message.

God has used it to encourage us very much!

It is a bit overwhelming and humbling to realize that people from so many different places are being touched by this little blog. I pray that God will use it to His glory.

We are thankful for the life that God is allowing us to live, but we are really just normal folks trying to get by and attempting to keep from getting messed up by the world’s values. The un-godly world around us is always trying to demand that we conform to its ways, but we want to reach for a higher standard; God’s standard!

This blog has been a lot of fun for me to write, too. I have not been here much longer than you! I think I saw on your profile that you started blogging here in October and I just started in September. I had been reading some of the blogs here before then, but not for too long.

We have not gotten to read many of your entries yet, but I am adding you to our friend list so we will be able to keep up with your blog, too. I enjoy clicking on the “friend” link and reading everyone’s latest entries. It took me a while before I realized that it worked that way. I was surpised when I clicked on it the first time and saw all of my listed friends’ entries right there on my template! That was pretty neat.

Thanks again for your message and encouragement. You all take care!

In His Love,

-Eric
