Genuine Blogger Award - May Jesus Christ Be Praised

Thank you Angela at http://meetingintheclouds.wordpress.com for giving “Settled In Heaven Blog” this award.  Angela has a very unique way of presenting practical Bible truths through the use of the Scriptures, pictures, and both historical and current day events.  I so appreciate her faithfulness to her Lord which is clearly seen in her blogging ministry.  May the Lord continue to bless her efforts for Him.

As for the “Settled In Heaven Blog”… this blog was created to bring honor and glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  It is through my Lord’s grace and enabling power that this blog exists.  I give Him all the praise for the blog and it’s results in people’s lives. 

I would like to pass this award to a ‘genuine’ blogger, Calvin Gardner, who has proven himself faithful to the Lord over His lifetime of service to the Lord.

Calvin Gardner, along with his wife, Peggy (my sister), and their 5 children (Ben, Charity, Joy, Daniel, and David) have exemplified what it means to be a family dedicated to the Lord’s service, for His glory.  They have ministered in Brazil as missionaries out of Wooster Baptist Temple for the past 34 years.  You can read more about Calvin and his family at his two blog sites…   http://calvingardner.com/blog/ and http://missionarycalvingardnerbrazil.blogspot.com/

The Lord has graced Calvin and Peggy with a faith that has stood up under many difficult and trying circumstances throughout their lives. Through His intervention, they have proven themselves to be sincere, faithful servants of the Christ.  They desire to make His glory and honor the prime goal of their ministry and their personal lives.   I thank the Lord for the Gardner family, sincere and genuine, servants of Christ.

If I had to choose a section of Scripture that best describes the Gardner family, I believe it would be 2 Corinthians 5:11-15.  To God be the glory.

There are no rules attached to this award.
