Shaken but not Moved

This was the official celebration of Mom and Dad's 65th since Vic was here to join us with his friend Ross. They have been building a beautiful new deck in Elsie's back yard.  

We also had a meal together at Tante Hilda's - another huge feast prepared with love and we were able to end the evening there with prayer. 

Prayer Prayer Prayer

There is such a need for us to be so connected to each other and to God in these crazy days. 

The spiritual battle rages on around us but we are able to refresh ourselves with these kinds of lovely gatherings.

Always laughter

Always love. 

And talking about the battle, Mom and Ross both had an actual "encounter" with the dark side, both on the same day.  Mom had been taking a nap and she suddenly felt something grab her shoulder and hip and shake her awake.  

Immediately she sensed the darkness and took authority in the Name of Jesus and the peace rolled over her.

That night as Ross was sleeping he was also grabbed by an evil presence and awoken.  

So glad we belong to the Kingdom of light and that we have the Name and Blood of our Jesus to call on.

Because our enemy obviously is annoyed with the prayer that just won't stop going up from this crowd!!

We may be shaken but we will not be moved.

Our everlasting God and Omnipotent Father has us covered.

Here's a picture of how we are tucked into the arms of Jesus.
