Hi Everyone,
We are going to start this letter with a short story of an individual that lives in our community. About 2 weeks ago a bad wind storm hit parts of Clarion County. In this gentlemen’s front yard stood a giant pine tree that over looked the house. It stood about 30 plus feet from the house. The gentlemen heard a noise and said he thought it was just the wind. A little bit later a friend came to visit. To find that this large pine tree in the front yard had fallen as well as another alongside the garage. The large pine tree in the front of his house fell just missing his house and a spring house. The only damage done was a telephone line that was taken down by a branch. It was as if God or a guardian angel took their hands and laid that tree down, in just the right spot. We are grateful that no one was hurt or killed. The outcome could have been much different. Thank you God for watching over us in our time of need.
That’s all for now, just remember you are still our favorite people
God Bless you all – Keep smiling
John Kerle (814)-221-9966 & Bobbi Wolfgong (814)221-8987
“Instead of pointing out who works well or who doesn’t work well, instead of nit-picking about someone’s flaws, if we gather our hearts, work towards the same objective, and enthusiastically do God’s work, everything will be fulfilled quickly,”
One will weave the canvas; another will fell a tree by the light of his ax. Yet another will forge nails, and there will be others who observe the stars to learn how to navigate. And yet all will be as one. Building a boat isn't about weaving canvas, forging nails, or reading the sky. It's about giving a shared taste for the sea, by the light of which you will see nothing contradictory but rather a community of love.
