HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US

This month marks Eric & Maria's 10 year spiritual birthday! In November 1997 we were "born again" into a new life with Christ. After 28 years of living according to our own plan, we found the hope that we had been looking for -- a promise of eternal life in heaven with God and peace while we live on earth. We never knew that it could be so simple -- acknowledging that we were sinners, in need of Jesus to reunite us with God. We asked Him to be the Lord of our lives and the past 10 years have been full of God's blessings and peace. We are so thankful to be children of God!

"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. . .For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:4-5, 8-9
