A Citizen ... at last

One of our very good 

friends, Arben Bahtijar,

became an 

American citizen

for real today!

He took his oath,

signed his name,

and was welcomed 

to the rights and 

 privileges American

  citizens enjoy.

He has his very own

paper to prove

he is an

American citizen.

But what we so love

about Arben and his 

wife Sam is that their

real 'citizenship'

is firmly planted

in Heaven!!

Philippians 3:20-21

"But our citizenship is

in heaven, and from it 

we await a Savior

 the LORD Jesus Christ,

who will transform 

our lowly body

to be like 

His glorious body ... "

  

And while we wait for 

that "transformation"

we sure enjoy the

friendship and

fellowship of

Sam and Arben and

their girls, Leah and Amy.

They are growing in

their faith,

endeavoring to

honor the LORD Jesus

Christ in all they do.

Our prayer for 

Sam and Arben

is that they continue to

grow in the wonderful

grace of our LORD Jesus Christ,

that they continue to press on to know Him and His glories. 

We are thankful we can do this together ! ! !
