Praise the LORD

During April the Trio sang at Blackmont where Thomasa's son-in-law was holding a revival. Later that week Grace, age 10, was saved. Then as we went to one of our favorite places in Greenville, TN. called LORD's Tabernacle, as we were singing a young girl came to the alter and was saved. This church had been in revival all week, so the HOLY SPRIRIT was free to work among the church. What a glorious time we had and we sang a new song, "Loving the Lamb", written by Kyla Rowland. Another favorite during the service was "Did I Mention". We are so thankful to be able to share our songs with all the churches.

Christian Sympathy is extended to the family's of Sister Odell Nichols, the widow of Rev. H.P. Nichols, our dear friends for the past 10 years. She went home on Valentine's day, which seems very appropriate, because she loved and missed her husband so much. Also, Gary Gulley went home to be with the LORD, Feb. 14th. We met the Gulley family, when their son Adam, held a revival at Bennett's Fork. The LORD used the song that Penny sings, "And I see a great band of angels camped all around me. . ." during the revival. As Brother Gulley was dying, he asked Adam to sing this chorus". GOD bless till we meet again.

Great News

Newest Addition

This is Thomasa and Sam Risner's newest granddaughter, Harper Ryanne Allen. She was born on January 8th and she and the family are doing fine.

Here we go into 2010 and that's even hard to say. What does the good LORD hold in store for the Trio this year? I can only trust GOD's word and know that HE directs our path. Last year we were blessed to keep singing even after David was hospitalized. We were blessed to sing in lots of new churches, but we also visited some of our "favorites". We had two great services at McMillian Freewill Baptist. One that we'll never forget is the "cell phone" service, where we shared the wonderful prescense of the LORD with people via our phones. It was so thrilling to see everyone holding up their phones for other to hear.

One of the sadest events of 2009 was when our friend Lyle Smith was severly injured on his job. After spending months in ICU, he is finally at home recovering. Lyle has been our special friend because he has introduced us to so many wonderful churches in Green County, but also has been at every service possible and we also appreciate his prayers after each service. Lyle would always say, "You all need the prayers and I need the practice." Please continue to pray for him and his family.

Another shocked was when our pastor's son, Boyd, was diagnosed with cancer. He is being treated with chemo at the present time and doing well. He and Mandi will have a baby girl soon.

The trio saw only a few souls saved in 2009. Garmeda Mission was a wonderful service where we saw a young and old man saved. Praise the LORD! It is our prayer that we all would draw closer to HIM in 2010 and may we be used to bless our church and those that would have us sing for them.

Isaiah 26:3 has always been one of my favorite verses and I pray that this year I could focus more on the LORD.

GOD bless you all!
Thomasa
