Letters From Friends                10-16-2016

Dear Ray,

            Well, It’s 2:15 am. Since I can’t sleep I choose to write you a letter.

            It was an endearing to see you stand alongside your wife, Tonia as she asked for prayer for her family. You have chosen an amazing wife! Her heart and her spirit are so tuned with God’s ways. And understanding of scripture is inspiring.

            And I understand you are greatly responsible for all that. She has told me that you taught her so much. Thank you for guiding her … for planting seeds of faith in her … for teaching her.

            You have a challenging job, to be the head of your family. Being provider and protector is a heavy responsibility and yet a huge honor. Your little girls are absolutely adorable! What treasures are in your care? But it is not easy being the only male in you family. Three Girls. I know cause I was the only female in my family of boys. There was times I felt lonely and mis-understood. Maybe you feel that way on occasions. Fortunately, life is so busy we just keep rushing on and on. Can’t worry about it.

            But, you must be doing an awfully lot of stuff right because your family is exceptionally sweet and dear. They all make me smile just to look at them. And they wouldn’t be happy and sweet as they are without a loving, caring husband and daddy!

            We don’t know you as well as we would like, but all evidence shows you are quite the Godly man! Thank you for being an example of Christ to your family and to the church and everywhere you go!

            You are blessed … and you are a blessing!!

            We pray God’s continued strength and wisdom for you each day.
