{{ 60 }} MATS

I attended my first MATS. This is me with hardly any sleep because we had a hotel. I just don't sleep well when away from home. 

Awarded my "Director" pin, I still love learning

everything I can about this business. 

Training by Mark and Chris, 

lunch with Aurora & Chris. Once again, lots 

of wonderful people.

Dear Katy....enough said.

An inspiration from my first meeting with her in Dallas. 

A legend.

At my first Reliv National Conf. in Atlanta, GA

In our business you get to know the most awesome people.

Lisa (L) is one of those. She lives her beliefs on the mission field in Central America.

She's been saved by the Grace of Jesus and once again He saved her health

with the nourishment of the products we love. I am so honored to have met her and

so thankful her life was spared. Also with us is Marcia who consistently lifts me up.

I am reminded of this verse:

Psalm 139: 17, 18

 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
   How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
   they would outnumber the grains of sand—

It's Reliv Conference time and I totally forgot to post.
I was so busy packing and doing calls for people that I missed a day.  Want to have one piece of jewelry to work all three days so I whipped up some new charms. The blue one reminded me of Israel and that reminded me of our travel companions so I made one for D. too. The others are from Aunt Willie's old and very broken necklace and a bracelet I dismantled.
Makes me so happy to re-porpose.

Summer Nights

Our teen boys are out and about so after a long day we went walking with a young couple who is expecting their first child.
It's been a busy day with me helping out at church and my husband helping prepare for the Annual Father's Day Cookout for the men of the church and their children.
I grabbed my Reliv shake before heading out for the Trail de Paris and the 90 degree heat that would be our constant companion.
We were greated with hundreds of fireflies lighting the wooded area around the trail. As the evening skies grew darker you could see bats swooping for their next bite...of bugs...not us. LOL Great time but I am totally out of shape and now my body is letting me know what it thinks of me doing nothing for exercise. I really was waiting until we moved to Israel and I was going to walk and run daily along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, honest.
As the hour of the night grew later we found ourselves gathered on our neighbors porch; the guys admiring R's new "vintage" robin egg blue electric guitar. I couldn't argue with the purchase. He paid $30. and it is by far the most beautiful of all the intruments he has brought home. (But the others have to go!)
We sit and visit as S. picks on his guitar. He plays a worship song and I sing harmony. I love moments like these. After a bit he plays a country song, Garth Brooks, Friends in Low Places. That one brings back memories of 1991 when we lived in Bolivar, MO.
on Austin street next to the old college dorms. This dorm housed boys and they would come in from afternoon classes and you could hear this song blaring from their radio. I remember going out to hang the laundry on the line and wondering just which room that loud music was coming from. I think it was the only tape they had...yes, in those days it was tapes.
A wonderful summer night with neighbors in our life on Margaret....
