Please pray for Ukriane. Max's mom is from Russia, She brouoght Max to the US when he was 18. He only hung around with Americans so he could learn English. His dad is from Ukraine and still lives there. So he is ok but he was saying fights were going on at full force, tanks, helicopters flying, he heard explosions and shootings. He is ok for now so definitely praying this will end soon.

Hi all,
I wanted to share some updates about my composition, Encinctured With a Twine of Leaves. This awesome drawing including the first notes of the song was done by my roommate Amélie Ava RW!
I am so excited to have two choirs overseas performing the piece. I can’t wait to hear it in SATB! Sian Croose leading Big Sky choir in the UK and Kate Howard leading Cairn chorus in Scotland have both been so kind and supportive. My first sales being to people in the Village Harmony community makes me very happy and even more grateful for that part of my life, if that is possible.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this release! My page for compositions is Compositions by Aaron Wilson, and you can find my webpage which includes downloadable sheet music at this link: https://bestpianobook.com/sheet-music/
For those of you who haven’t heard the piece, here’s the YouTube link: https://youtu.be/XUDGxP7UKKA
As a side note, I’m moving to Baltimore on a gap semester this spring. If there are any music/Village Harmony people down there I’d love to connect! 😊

      I found this on my computer-

          What a beautiful story!


Your dad (and mom)  have a very special place in my heart.  They have been supportive of me and my family in many ways.  Your dad and mom have always been  advocates in the adoption arena.  They each share a compassionate understanding of the emotions involved in building a family through adoption and in growing children God’s way.   Your dad and I have really bonded and commiserated with each other due to the cardiac issues we have faced.  We have had some great talks and compared “notes” (aka, medical records).  In addition, he has always supported each and every non-profit fundraiser in which I have been involved.  He didn’t have to, he just did because I asked him to.  But, by far and away, most important of all, your parents have given us prayer support.  I  truly believe, that is one of the most important things you can give or do  for another person.  Those two prayer-warriors have been there in the waiting room praying with my parents through procedure after procedure.  During one of my procedures, your dad and mom were there when I awakened from anesthesia.  I had some trouble with breathing when I woke up.  I grabbed my mom’s hand and told her I could not breath and to get the nurse as I literally gasped for air.  Your mom and dad, along with my sister, my parents and Beth (and of course Neil), were there to comfort me during those critical moments.  I don’t even know if I am remembering it all very clearly, it was such a terrifying experience.  What I do clearly remember is the calm that washed over me as I clung to the cross that Fr. Luke had blessed, which contains a relic of the true cross.  Your dad handed it to me right before or maybe it was during this attack.  I really think that is what helped me pull through those moments.  Your dad knew what I felt because he had suffered a similar incident.  I will always remember that and be grateful for their presence there that day.

 

God bless Uncle Jim (and Aunt Marie too) J  With love and gratitude, Marianne

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119:11

Seeing them light up to share what scripture they memorized is a treasure! But even more than that it will live on FOREVER with them, being a light unto their path!
I’m so thankful to be a part of their worlds!
