Flat Gap, Kentucky







Aunt Ruby (Fyffe) and Uncle Hobert Salyers, grandson, daughter-in-law Tina

Aunt Ruby called just before Christmas. She talks a bit slower since her stroke, but each word was clear. But she is WALKING! Her praises to God are great! "I want you to come and hear my story," she said. This wasn't just a casual invitation, but a real call to set aside time, make the trip, and sit down by her side and let her tell her story. "What story?" I asked. I was busy with the holiday planning and had a dozen things on my mind. She cleared my mind up when she said, "How God talked to me." "He spoke to me, and if that wasn't enough, he told me to move my foot." Aunt Ruby heard an audible voice, moved her foot, and it responded! Keith was getting ready to go in for a repair surgery, which we were all dreading. "He talked to me, and he can talk to you too!" she said. Aunt Ruby knew that God was so close by, and gave us great encouragement.

Jessica and I have added a day to our Memorial Day trip in May. We are going to answer Aunt Ruby's call to COME AND HEAR. We will gladly sit by her side, and drink in every word. For if God talked to her, and she shares it, we will hear from God too.

Check back after Memorial Day and I'll tell you about our visit to Flat Gap, Kentucky. Hopefully, Uncle Hobert will play his beautiful music for us while we are there, and maybe Aunt Ruby will feel like singing for us as well.

love you,

Aunt Betty
