It was eighty-five years ago – November 9, 1935, to be exact – that Freda Elizabeth Cochran and Lewis Ermon Bean became a young married couple in Washington County, Maine. I knew them better as Mama and Daddy. Actually, they were ‘mamaanddaddy’ to me – truly ‘one person’. Their one wedding picture was of them…
October was a busy and wonderful month for Love From Above – apart from my not being able to be in ‘the other land that I love’, Romania! Meds were supplied to the two orphanages (Albina and Barza Mica) – and more than usual to Barza because of the heightened health situation around the world….
I was so tired after being out and about doing so many errands recently – not to mention the ache in my lower back from a recent injury – that I decided I could just absolutely not get back to the house and cook supper. Picked up my phone and made a quick call to…
Love From Above was thrilled in September to have been able to send all the funds needed for veggies for this Fall, Winter, and coming Spring to our ‘kids’ at Barza Mica. THANK all of you who helped in this endeavor! We also sent Ovi his monthly support for September, money for the new gas…
This is a familiar story to you — The apostle Paul, formerly known as Saul of Tarsus spent much of his adult life terrorizing and persecuting early followers of Jesus. He seemed to feel it was his duty – that early Christians had just plain gotten it all wrong! But then one day while traveling…
Our world is still upside-down, inside-out, or as my Dad used to say when something in his workshop just wasn’t fitting together right, “ee-yaw”. Well our world’s new ‘abnormal’ is very ‘ee-yaw’! The European Union has closed their borders to any countries from the West which means even if I did want to get back…
I once heard a speaker say that there are three ‘epoch times’ in the life of a follower of Christ. The first is ‘formation’. ‘There is a time to be born . . .’ (Ecclesiastes 3.2) And, August was the month so many years ago that was my ‘formation’ – my time to be born. …
Though it breaks my heart not to be able to be back in ‘the other land that I love’, I am delighted to report that Love From Above has kept up it’s ministry in Romania – and on so many levels. We have continued to supply all the meds for Albina and Barza Mica orphanages…
I read this information recently from one, Sir John Glubb, (1897-1986) the British diplomat who studied four-thousand years of human history and who found that there was a pattern to the decline of great nations. He said that the last stage before collapse is decadence (national massive debt, uncontrolled immigration without assimilation, a loss of…
Little has changed from last month. That’s what a pandemic can do to a world. We are still sending funds to our precious orphans at Barza Mica for food and meds – and funds to Ovi for our folks at Canaan (our church in Halchiu). I praise God that HE has supplied LFA’s ability to…
