My Mom, sister Ellen and brother David and I are grateful that we all had a chance to tell Steve how much we love him during a visit on Monday afternoon. When we set up the time for our visit, we chose between Monday and this Friday which we now know would have been too late. What a comfort to have been able to have had the chance to say goodbye. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Most of you know that my Mom has been staying with us for the last month as she recuperates from a January fall. How good of God to arrange that Mom was here in NH during this time. She and all of us will miss Steve very much. At 51, his life was way too short.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">At this point, I’m not sure what arrangements will be made but I’ll keep you posted.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Lots of love,<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Judy</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Quick note from Ruth Anne: If you would like to see a picture of Judy with her brother, this is the post from back in 2008, asking for prayer for him. <a href="http://hope4marriagesnews.blogspot.com/2008/04/prayer-request-from-judy.html"><br /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://hope4marriagesnews.blogspot.com/2008/04/prayer-request-from-judy.html">http://hope4marriagesnews.blogspot.com/2008/04/prayer-request-from-judy.html</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /><br /></p>Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-7333309288065680092009-03-31T20:12:00.002-05:002009-03-31T20:17:13.128-05:00Double Rainbow<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/100_0276.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 478px; height: 358px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/100_0276.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Double Rainbow<br />Worth, IL<br />March 31, 2009<br /><br /><br /></div>Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-24447066607791293412009-03-21T21:42:00.003-05:002009-03-21T21:46:28.414-05:00I saw this church sign while running errands Saturday afternoon in my hometown of Worth, Illinois.

The new movie from the creators of Facing the Giants is an action-packed love story about a firefighter, his wife ... and a marriage worth rescuing!<br /><br />While this faith-based film is flying under the Hollywood radar screen, real people in real communities across the country are rallying behind it. In fact, it will open in 95 more cities than originally planned thanks to local people buying 1,000 tickets to bring it there!<br /><br />I don't know when I've been more excited about the opening of a movie. I hope you will see FIREPROOF on its opening weekend. Hollywood judges a movie based on how it does in its first three days, so it's important to go September 26-28.<br /><br />If you want more information, go to <a href="http://www.FireprooftheMovie.com">FireprooftheMovie.com</a>.<br /><br />See you at the movies!Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-81608694200428713392008-09-20T11:20:00.002-05:002008-09-20T11:24:40.237-05:00Asher<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/DSCF2515.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 305px; height: 414px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/DSCF2515.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">It's not an easy message to write. Judy called Friday afternoon and left a message that Asher has gone home to the arms of Jesus. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">The doctors had told them that Asher probably wasn't going to make it through the weekend. Mark, his father, had some things to do for work, so while he was out, he got a call that Asher's breathing was very labored. Mark got there just before Asher passed on into glory, into the arms of His loving Savior. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">Please keep the Rousseau family in your prayers, as they mourn the loss of this wonderful, brave little boy, who is now restored to full health in heaven.

His feeding tube is malfunctioning, and he has lost about half a pound now (which puts him somewhere around just 10 lbs). </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">The doctors are very dire, saying he will not make it. (Yes, they have said this before). We have a miracle - working God, and He is the Great Physician. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">Will you join me in a moment of prayer? </span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">Father, we come before You today, and we lift up the Rousseau family, especially Asher. Lord, He needs Your healing Touch. You are the Great Physician. You say in Your Word that it is by Your stripes we are healed. Lord, we ask You to heal Asher in a mighty and miraculous way. May all who see it look on and say, "It was only God. It was God." May it all be for Your glory. We pray this in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">I'll keep you up to date as I hear word from Judy.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">Love & hugs,</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000080;">Ruth Anne</span> </p>Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-73515326749897288312008-08-18T21:45:00.002-05:002008-08-18T21:51:23.839-05:00Cute Friendship e-mailI got this particular PowerPoint presentation from a friend as an e-mail forward, and thought I would share it with all of you to brighten your day, too. :-)<br /><br />This does require use of Microsoft PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer. <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=048dc840-14e1-467d-8dca-19d2a8fd7485&displaylang=en">Free download from Microsoft for the PowerPoint Viewer</a><br /><br />Here's the presentation I got from a friend - <a href="www.voxtrot.org/SNOOPY_Friends1.pps">Snoopy Friends</a><br /><br />~ Ruth Anne<br /><br />Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-64091758169462574722008-08-17T13:46:00.003-05:002008-08-17T20:07:13.607-05:00Forest Park Baptist Church SignThis is the church sign for this week at the church where I serve.

I just spoke to my son Mark this morning and he gave me the latest details on Asher’s condition.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">According to Mark, Asher was in a great deal of pain the day of the surgery but as time progressed, the pain began to subside with the exception of one of the staples that was digging into Asher’s little tummy. Once Jess pointed that out to the nurses, they wrapped some sort of foam around it and Asher became more relaxed. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mark also said that for the first time ever, Asher had a full belly due to the use of his feeding tube. Evidently, he became quite content afterwards just laying there playing with his toys. And now that he has also had surgery to correct his reflux, there was no heartburn!!!<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Praise the Lord for how He has answered our prayers on behalf of our little miracle-man.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">It’s likely that Jess and Mark will be able to take Asher home today or tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">We’ll likely go up to visit sometime in the not-too-distant future. At that time, I’ll take some pictures so you can all see how much he has grown.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Once again, thank you for standing with us for Asher’s healing.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Lots of love,<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Judy<o:p></o:p></p></div>Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-13270212584720397552008-07-26T22:17:00.002-05:002008-07-26T22:22:45.281-05:00Asher Update<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: left;">Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p><div> </div><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: left;">It's been quite a long time since I've written with any news on Asher. For the most part, the last couple of years, Asher's condition has remained the same. However, one of Asher's greatest challenges is getting the appropriate amount of nutrition in him. Asher will be three next month but at the present time he weighs somewhere around 12 pounds. <o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: left;">Jess and Mark have had several meetings with medical professionals and they have made the decision to get Asher a feeding tube. It is our hope that with the feeding tube Asher will be able to get the appropriate amount of nourishment so that he can gain weight and strength. If I understood Mark correctly, Asher will also be having an operation to remove a hernia. Evidently Asher's surgery is scheduled for Monday.<o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: left;">If you would, please pray for Asher and all of us as we go through this surgery.

With all the pictures I have of Judy and Paul's family on my Facebook account, I am starting to look like I'm a family member, too! :-)<br /><br />I also set up a ministry photo album that is for all of us at Facebook, although right now it only features me, Paul & Judy (along with Judy's singing partner Jenny and the ever present Ella). That one is <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=22807&l=54f6a&id=673871854">Hope for Marriages Ministry</a>. Eventually, I hope that y'all will be sending me your photos too - like children's graduations, life milestones, vow renewals, etc., and this will be where we have them for everyone to see.<br /><br />And just as a friendly reminder, if you forgot to look, here are the photo albums for the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=22570&l=f3547&id=673871854">Day of Prayer 2008</a> and some of my pictures of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=22574&l=2af2b&id=673871854">New Hampshire</a>.<br /><br />~ Ruth AnneRuth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-45818657824242705592008-06-08T21:11:00.003-05:002008-06-08T21:13:00.583-05:00Encouragement from Brian in Arkansas<a href="http://www.voxtrot.org/Summer_Newsletter_08.pdf">Summer 08 Newsletter from Revive Our Hearts</a><br /><br />The newsletter features Brian's pastor's wife - she tells the story of how God healed their marriage.Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-57678622558848133582008-06-07T21:35:00.002-05:002008-06-07T21:40:47.879-05:00Day of Prayer photographsHere is a small sample of pictures from our day of prayer at Calvary Assembly of God in Jaffrey, New Hampshire on June 1.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/100_0063.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/100_0063.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Judy standing among the prayer letters on the altar at Calvary.<br /><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/100_0064.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/100_0064.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Pat, one of the faithful prayer warriors at Calvary, holds one of our prayer letters.<br /><br /><br /></div>To see all of the pictures, please check out my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=22570&l=f3547&id=673871854">Facebook photo album</a> for the event.<br /><br /><br />Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-80338764748600692932008-06-03T19:25:00.001-05:002008-06-03T19:28:31.207-05:00Calvary Current 6/1/08 ~ Day of PrayerI thought you might like to be able to see a copy of the Calvary Current from our Day of Prayer.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.voxtrot.org/CurrentCAG060108.pdf">http://www.voxtrot.org/CurrentCAG060108.pdf</a>Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-45781855897414299172008-06-03T18:57:00.003-05:002008-06-03T19:06:27.601-05:00Rebecca St. James ~ Forgive Me<embed src="http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1137883230" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=1581571371&playerId=1137883230&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://services.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&domain=embed&autoStart=false&" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="486" height="412" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed><br /><br />Thought y'all might enjoy this song that is on the current Billy Graham special. :-)Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-69861816455817708572008-04-27T19:35:00.002-05:002008-04-27T19:39:47.340-05:00Prayer request from JudyQuick prayer request from Judy, along with a picture. Here's Judy:<br /><br />It’s for my youngest brother Steve who has been diagnosed with an aggressive lung cancer. My sister & I went to visit him on Friday. He & I have prayed together several times in the past but he is now in a crisis of faith. Please pray that Steve will genuinely turn to the Lord during this time and that he will experience God as savior & healer.<br /><br />Thank you sooooo much.<br /><br />Love & hugs,<br />Judy <br /> <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/DSCF2653.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/da2ofus/Hope4Marriages/DSCF2653.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-5564410553175944682008-04-12T21:37:00.005-05:002008-04-12T21:43:46.626-05:00Standing Encouragement from Desiring GodDr. John Piper, senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a solid Biblical teacher. He also happens to teach, without wavering, that marriage is one man and one woman for a lifetime.<br /><br />His most recent "Ask Pastor John" segment emphasizes this fact once again, and he commends the daughter of the writer of the question for standing firm on Biblical principles, waiting on God in her marriage.<br /><br />The link below provides a way to listen online, download, or read a brief excerpt of the podcast.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/AskPastorJohn/ByTopic/135/2712_Can_I_remarry_if_my_spouse_divorces_me_and_marries_another/">AskPastorJohn/2712_Can_I_remarry</a><br /><br /><br />What a blessing that we have such a wonderfully understanding man of God in a prominent position who is teaching God's truth about marriage!Ruth Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12364065487993459892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723103368146693040.post-30140136204835439052008-04-05T21:26:00.002-05:002008-04-05T21:28:50.538-05:00Encouragement from Vic in GeorgiaThis was too good to wait until the Monday message, so I am posting it in the blog.
