Today is the one-year anniversary of Anna nearly drowning.
Thank you to all of you who have been there for Anna and for us this year. We really appreciate all of you. God is smiling.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in Anna. And we know that all things work together for good for Anna, who loves God, to Anna who is one of the called according to His purpose. For He foreknew Anna, and He also predestined her to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren, including Anna. Moreover because He predestined Anna, He also called her; He called her, and He also justified her; He justified her, and He also glorified her.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for Anna, who can be against her? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give Anna all things? Who shall separate Anna from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Yet in all these things she is more than a conqueror through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate Anna from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We miss Anna’s smile very much. We love you Nanners.
Thank you Jesus for healing Annie B!
God bless,
Richard

This passage brought tears to my eyes. I never knew I could love someone I've never met. Anna is a gift from God. I believe she will heal and be restored, because of faith, love and a togetherness that is nothing less than what God wanted.
I think Anna's accident is something that has brought a society together that may never have gotten the chance to do so.
My heart is full of love for Anna and my thoughts are filled with prayers for her recovery and that she will return to "Nanners" with the pretty smile. I pray that the video's you will soon post will be of her playing, running and laughing with her brothers and sisters.
I pray for God to bless Anna and your family.

ARK.THE_ JEFF.IN V-26 N-18 SUNDAY_ 55-0522
128 Little Moses out there, looking up towards the star lit skies at night, when the wind was a blowing and a howling across the places, the old Nile a jumping, and the crocodiles going under the basket (Hallelujah.), safe, protected, standing between was an atonement between him and all the gales and the heavy winds that the devil could send. Nothing would upset that little ark. He floated right on through.
I can see the great Holy Spirit standing above it. I can see the Angels of God setting near with their swords drawed. No, sir, nothing's going to touch it.
I can see the devil trying to sink the ark up there and Noah singing, "Jesus, keep me near the cross," or whatever it was. All the devils in hell couldn't take it, because it's built according to God's instructions. There was an atonement standing between judgment and mercy.
That's every believer today, no matter how hard it must seem...?... how hard life may seem. As long as you're in Christ Jesus, there's nothing present, nothing future, can't reach your soul, separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Amen. The devil will turn every gale in hell loose on you, but God's got an atonement standing between you. You'll float every wave. You'll go through every alligator bed.
JESUS.AROSE_ CHICAGO.IL THURSDAY_ 56-0405
E-20 But how could that Divine Person... See, they'd failed to know the Word of God. So there was nothing to do but to fulfill their desire to know. So as they turned down the road, walking along, disheartened... Oh, some women had been up to the grave, and they said He wasn't there. But they didn't believe that, so they just went on down the road so discouraged.
And if you notice, it's when you are discouraged that's when the Devil can really pour it on you. That's when He gets you. If you come to the church and say, "Well, I don't know. I don't know whether I'll ever get any better or not. I've been prayed for twice." Oh, my. You might as well go home; that's all. But when you can cast that aside... God don't want you to be frowning. God wants you to be happy. The human heart was made to be happy. Worry will cause cancer. Temper will cause cancer. Don't never be upset. Just walk in His love. Amen. Knowing that you're walking in Him, and nothing can harm you. There's nothing can harm you. There's neither powers, things present, things future, nothing can separate us from Him. We're in Him. And we never come in by our own will. He, by choice, elected us and brought in to Him. Amen. So it's His business to take care of what He's took Hisself. "No man can pluck them from My Father's hands, 'cause He's the greatest of all of them." Amen. It's the Father Who takes care of it. Who's got any more power than God? So what kind of a power have you got over you to take of you? The whole powers that created the universes. Amen. That took the solar system and [Brother Branham makes a blowing sound--Ed.] blew like that and every star went to its place. Sure. And He watches over you. Amen. That's the kind of a Father we have.

I.KNOW.MY.REDEEMER.LIVETH_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 58-0406S
E-13 We will take, for instance, Noah in the Bible. There was a flood that came on. And all the earth was destroyed. The vegetation and everything was destroyed but Noah and the seed that he had taken into the ark.
God's purpose can never be defeated. There is nothing can defeat it. So how happy ought we to be today, resting upon that beautiful revelation of the Word of the living God, that there is neither things present nor things that can come; there's no sickness, no sorrow, no death, no perils, nor nothing can separate us from the purpose of the living God.
What God has imagined in His mind, what God has purposed in His heart to bring to pass, there is no demon, there's no power, there is nothing can ever separate God's great immortal inter--eternal plan. It must be as God has said.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
God bless all of you on this day. E

I pray for your whole family, but especially for Anna. I have had tragedies, and also miracles in my life. I do know the power of prayer.

And a year goes by....It doesn't seem quite right to say Happy Anniversary. Just know that the last year Anna has ministered to more people than you and I have in our entire lives. We continue to pray for her complete healing.
I will say Happy Anniversary to you and Lael! I hope this year to come isn't so stressfull!
I like Anna's new peanut! It should help a lot.
Larry came home Tuesday. Not as strong as he should be, but we were done w/ hospitals! I think his trach is like Anna's now. It turns out the other one was specifically for a ventilator. He did his own trach care this morning! Thank you so much for visiting him! You don't know how much that meant!
Blessings to the family and hugs to all.
