News and Updates!

Well folks, so many things have happened since my last

post I don't really know where to start.

For one thing, We've had another grandbaby.

Kyle Stanley Peach

5-19-14

9 lbs. 14 oz. H

 

He took his time getting here but was worth the wait.

Becky and Stan took him home to be loved and

cherished by his big brother, Jesse,

and his four sisters, Brooklyn, Jillian, Kathryn and Emily.

He always has an arm waiting to hold him.

 

*********************************************

Then, we had little Brenley Wirth, our niece.

She was born with Robin-pierre and proved herself

to be a real winner - she had to go through surgery in the first few weeks of her life - but she

made it and is gaining ground daily.

She was in the hospital for several weeks but

by the grace of God and the prayers of God's people the doctors were able to help her by operating on her jaw.

She is finally home by her big brother, Jon Wayne, and the rest of her extended family. She is blessed with loads of love from every direction!

Here Brenley is with her mommy, Sami, and her daddy, Sam. 
And by herself after surgery. . .she now has NO tubes or wires. . .praise God!

 

 

 

*******************************************

Then just one more note of accomplishment. . .

I, YES! . . .Karen Peach. . .have been trying to ride my

bicycle from six (6) to nine (9) miles daily!

Yes, women can wear a skirt, an hair-up-do, long sleeves and still ride a bicycle at sixty-one years of age. . . 

AND enjoy it!
While Joey Wirth was in town he rode with me a couple of days.

 On Sunday's or rainy days I usually don't get the full six to nine miles . . .but I try for at least two.

Now Tom is riding with me when he's not too busy.

We used to go bike riding together as kids, now we

are old married people (44 years in August) and we're riding together again.

Love is a wonderful thing to share with your sweetheart.
Some folks take a cruise
but we'll just settle for a bike ride. ;D

Blessings!

Here's a great song that has blessed my heart in the past few months. . .
I CAN PRAY! by the Perry's.

Jesse turns five! Two new Holy Ghost Babies. . .my thoughts

Jesse Frank turned "five" on July 2, 2013.

Here he and George Thomas get ready to eat

the "Ginger (really brownie) Bread" Cake.

 

They also made a really neat push car (below) with

PaPaw. . .a fun filled day for us all.
PaPaw designed this car all by himself with Grandma giving a few
suggestions. . . but he was the creator.
They didn't get it completed that day but they were able to play
on it a bit. . .PaPaw put the push bar and steering handle
on later that week. . .and did the fancy paint and lettering job.

 

 



Two Brand New "Babies" Born this Week!

Baptized in the Holy Ghost

 

Bucky got it July 6, 2013

 

Kathryn got it July 9, 2013

She is learning to play the guitar with Papaw's help.

 

 

 

Our family would appreciate your prayers for

*Greg  & Rachel Martin and family. . .

*Darlena Williams and her family. . .

*Reuben & Gracie Stence and their family. . .

(Reuban is Brenda Wirth's Daddy.)

They all have very serious health conditions

but we know we can find VICTORY in

any situation through Jesus.

 

Faith = Choosing to walk in VICTORY no matter how God answers my prayer. Not trying to "box God in" to a certain answer but allowing him the freedom to answer according to his will, not mine. Agreeing with the Lord even when He says "NO, NOT NOW or WAIT" to what I think I need.  krp

Seems like we feel discouraged, like we've lost the victory when we try to tell God "the correct answer" as to how HE should solve our problem. . .and

then if that isn't his will, we feel like we've lost a battle because we put "our faith" in our own desired answer rather than having allowed

God to answer our prayer in his own way. True faith is to have our faith so fixed in him that regardless of his answer, we still have victory. . .even

in death. . .or sorrow. . .or sickness. . . 

I know I'm not "there" completely, but that is my desire.

I was thinking. . .we are to be soldiers for the Lord.

As soldiers life isn't really plush and comfortable but it's one mostly

on the battlefield. . .fighting the enemy. . .watching and guarding . . .

and then after the battle is won there's a time

of victory celebration, then off to another battlefield. . .

and again after victory. . .another battlefield. . .

Until we finally win every battle and we are promoted to a new station. . .

a mansion. . .a house eternal where we can live forever celebrating our

overcoming victory

and working with the Captain of our Salvation.

Beautiful flowers. . . This and That

Some days you get wonderful gifts from little hearts you love.
Today I was given these beautiful flowers, hand picked from Becky's yard, from Jilly, Kathryn and Laura.
I am one blessed and loved Grandma.

Andrew and Abby, newly weds from Hurst, take advantage of the system. . .sitting in the Handicapped Seating area.

I didn't know being newly wed was a handicap.

Some folks will do ANYTHING to eat first! ;)

This sweet couple were just here again two days ago for Sis. Martha's funeral and stayed in our home.

I pray that they'll always be as "in love" as they are now.

 

This is Sophie at the Humble Texas General Convention showing me that she had lost her very first tooth!
She was really happy and Maya told me that everyone clapped for her!
Maya was as excited as Sophie.

 

Here's Joe during the Humble Texas General Convention. . .He really got blessed
praising Jesus. . .His Aunt Janet, Mom-Rachel, Dad-Doug and cousin-Denise are
all helping him touch Jesus!
That's really ALL that matters.

 

 


David (Bucky) also got a special touch from the Lord during his home church service in Springville, AL.
He did speak some words in that heavenly language, but he wasn't certain that he'd spoken in tongues himself.
So, he is right there at the "almost" point. . .his Dad-Doug is praying with him as are others.
God is so good!
This has inspired Laura, George and Kimberly to try to reach out and touch the Lord in our services!

Here's a couple of really cute stories. . .
#1
George was really upset with Kimberly Jo. . .she was trying to tell him what to do and how. . .
He goes to his mom all upset and says. . ."Kimberly thinks she's the boss of everyone, she
thinks she's like a 17 year old or a 12 year old.  She thinks she's smarter than everyone!"
Kimberly was listening in the background and she looks him in the eye and says,
"Well I can tell you one thing George. . .I'm NOT 17 and I'm NOT 12!"
So, I guess she knew what she was talking about. . .she's only three.

#2
At her great aunt's funeral this week, Maya Lynn was sitting on my lap with her Great Aunt Patsy
sitting next to us.
Patsy said to Maya. . ."Why do you have such curly hair when you sister doesn't?"
Maya responds, "It's okay. . .we have curlers!"
Out of the mouths of children. . .problems can be solved. . .if our hair isn't curly we can roll it.



Psalm 35:9

"And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation."


Dear Lord. . .I thank you for allowing me the great opportunity to share
the blessings of my grandchildren, nieces and nephews on this site.
I pray that all who read about them will be inspired to enjoy their grandkids too. . .
and if they aren't blessed to have their own that you will allow them to enjoy reading about mine.

Lord, if there are those out there seeking to destroy or harm our children,
I pray that you will place a nagging conviction in their heart of their sin.
I pray that you will allow them to find peace and comfort in something greater than
sin and evil. . .in the majesty of your presence.
Lord, please help the people who were hurt by others when they were children. . .
help them to find their way to you. . .the great healer of brokenness.
Help them to be able to forgive those who offended them. . .
Help them trade their bitterness for the joy of serving Jesus.
Help them to realize those who offend little ones, offend the Great God of Heaven.

Lord, I give this Blog to you. . .help me to say what you'd have me say on it.
Help me to desire for humanity what you desire.
You've shown us what is good. . .what is righteous. . .what brings peace. . .
help us to walk your way. krp


Psalm 37:23
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way."

Watch your step! 

Emily Jane is ONE. .."Sweet Baby Joe" catches our dinner!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY EMILY JANE!

She is definitely a "sweetheart"!

 

 Look what "Sweet Baby Joe" caught fishing with Uncle Denny and Dad!

He loves to fish and he caught enough

for us to have a big fish meal yesterday!

Dad, Doug, fried the fish and we had some good eating thanks to Joe's

skills. . .Daniel was the biggest fish eater followed by myself.

Love that fish. 

Two big ones.

 

 

       

Surrounded by all his fish. . .there's a catfish at the top

you can't hardly see.

 

Heavy!

Found this picture of March 2011. . . Paul and Silas

at the Mt. Carmel church.

Too sweet not to post.

Big. . .Big. . .Big News! Joey gets the Holy Ghost at Youth Meeting!

Big news. . .Joseph got the Holy Ghost!  We are all rejoicing in the Lord.

This event happened at the Mt. Carmel Youth Meeting 2012.

That makes three out of Doug's four boys blessed with this gift, last year.

God is good!

Joe also renewed this blessing the following week-end service 

with Bro. Jesse Urbano (Joe's uncle) in the Louisville, Kentucky assembly.

I have been so very slow at getting things posted. . .sorry about that.
Sometimes my computer fails to allow me to upload pictures and that was the cause for this taking so long in getting posted.
I have to switch over to Google before I can post pictures. (?)

Thanksgiving Day 2012

 

Here it is, our Thanksgiving Day of 2012.

The Tom Peach family

Tom and Karen.

I am so blessed to have such a creative man for my husband.

He makes all kinds of neat things to help us have special memories of events.

Like this little Prairie house. . .he put this up for me so all could get their

pictures made in it. . .and he had plenty of props in the great room of the shop

to make it look rustic.

We have been blessed to have the energy to have these outing most Thanksgivings,

Christmases and 4th's of July. . .plus some in between.

This year Tom, Chad, Janet, Michelle, Doug and his boys all

helped get things together. . .it was a blessing to work together.

 

One more note, My folks were married on Thanksgiving Day 61 years ago and

Stan proposed to and gave a ring to Becky on Thanksgiving Day in 1995.

We owe so much of our happiness to the moral fiber our parents (Peach/Wirth)

and grandparents embraced. . .we carry much of the love they invested into

our lives inside our hearts and we are trying to continue in their example.

 

 

The Sam Perry family

Janet and the Preacher man..

Davita and Phillip were out of town visiting Phillips family.

David and Krista were with her family.

Kristen and Kevin weren't able to come because he couldn't get off work.

 

 

The Chad Hanna family

George, Chad, Travis, Laura, Sarah and Kimberly

 

 

The Stan Peach Family

The Denny Wirth family

Michelle, Ashley, Brayden, Denny and Jaida

Autumn and Josh couldn't come since they'd just taken off to go to Abby's wedding.

 

Jon's entire family didn't get to make it as they had just used lots

of time and energy getting their daughter married. . .

Abby and Andrew are in Texas now, but they were barely home from

their honeymoon!





Below you see the Stephens' family.

We were glad to have them share our day with us.

All the boys had a great time and we enjoyed them so much.

When their dad was ready to leave the boys talked him into

staying longer. . .so they were still here for the fireside.

Jacob was getting into frontier character below.

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Some folks didn't come by for the whole day, but were here for a while.

Here's Barbara and David Peach with George getting in on the hug.

Then we were also honored to have Sis Margaret Orand come by

to eat and fellowship with us.

We've made her part of our "holiday family".

 

Doug Stephen's mother, Mary, enjoyed the day with us.

She was in town from DesMoines, Iowa.

She attends Bro. Goodwin's church.

It was a pleasure to get to know her and get better acquainted with her family.

 

 

Brayden has his mouth full of Sarah's "cutie" oranges. . .

He can put away the food!

Travis enjoys just sitting out on the stump beside the prairie house with

his big straw hat.

 

 

 

Janet, Rachel and Doug help get last minute coffee and etc. ready.

 

 

Rachel goes outside to see if she can help carry some food into the building.

Notice that we even had a table for the two toddlers to sit at.

There was a table for men, a table for women, For younger kids and for the older.

We also had high chairs for the two babies so we ALL got to sit down together.

 

 

 

 

Above we have Doug and Chad who both helped to make sure each family

attending got their pictures taken.

Below, Doug helps make sure the little prairie house was all set up for

pictures.  The kids had a good time playing in it all day.

The boys used it as a stable, the girls a house.

 

 




 
 

 

Tom and Stan get a little time to talk to one another. . .

what a good dad Stan has. . .what a good son Tom has.

They are both blessed.

 

 

Stan with baby Emily Jane. . .she was glad to be in

her daddy's arms, outside with the other kids.

In the background you can see little Kimmie Jo.

 

 

The kids just didn't want to quit playing.

It was really neat that day because all the kids, young and old,

played together.  The older kids let the little kids play

hide and seek on their perspective teams. . .and just rope. . .high jump. . .

and corn hole toss. . .etc.

They climbed all over the play set too..

 

 

Later that evening we lit up a fire in a huge old cast-iron kettle and

sat around talking while the kids played.

Here Chad was getting things started. . .

Doug helped the kids makes s/mores. . .Yum. . .Yum.

 

 

 

And here's our little frontier girl, Laura Jean. . .she wore he hat a lot of the day.

That’s all folks. . .There was so much activity, so much fun and games going on that

we just didn’t think about taking more pictures.  Doug may have some I don’t have.

 

"Dear Lord, I want to thank you from my heart for another year of freedom in our country. . .freedom to give thanks openly to you for all the blessings of life.

Thank you Lord for giving us this property to host events.

Thank you for giving us family and friends who want to share the day with us.

Thank you for the love that can be felt running all through the house/shop,

out in the yard, around the tables. . .it isn't something that everyone has at their

family dinners.

Lord, thank you for all the loads of food we once again had on the table.

It seems like everyone here wants to do "their share" of blessing others.

I am so blessed!

Thank you for all the many years of Thanksgivings, just like this one today

that I spent at my Pappy and Granny Bare's home. . . Or with my

Grandma and Grampa Banks. . .

Or at my own parents home when their folks were too old and tired to

continue having things at their home.

We are Family. . .family with so much love we can even give it to others who

come by. . .with so much happiness we won't lose anything by sharing it with you. . .

God you have blessed us with the things in life that really matter most

and it our duty and our pleasure to bless others.

Your Child, krp"
