Everybody Loves Alisa


Cassi picked up Ryan, a very good friend ;), from the airport recently.  Her Aunt Alisa texted her to stop by so they could meet him.  The next day, Cassi told me about their visit.

She said Alisa and her husband, Greg, asked him a bunch of questions.  They looked him right in his eyes and listened carefully to his answers.  They were warm and friendly with Ryan.  Cassi appreciated it so much.  They made Ryan feel very comfortable and at ease in a new environment where many family members and friends would be checking him out...

Alisa has become an amazing woman of God.  She loves Him passionately and wants every one to know that Jesus is the most important person in her life.  She also knows that loving others is a command she takes very seriously.

When you are with her, she gives you her undivided attention.  They are the family I mentioned in a previous post that turns off their smartphones at dinner and with friends so it won't interrupt the time they have with others.  She looks people in the eyes and listens carefully without interrupting.

She is generous and loves to make people feel welcome.  She loves having people over for meals and when company comes to stay, she makes sure they have a good time.

The picture above is Alisa with her family.  Gregory just graduated from dental school.  On the left of him is his precious girlfriend, Maria. {Gregory always wanted a wife just like his mother and I think he may have found her!}  Everyone loves her.  Nick is to the left of Alisa and just graduated from college.  Her husband and Ali are to her right.

God has blessed Alisa.  Sure they have had trials.  Haven't we all?  Yet, she remains steadfast in her love for Jesus, her family, and others.  She is an inspiration to many people and her greatest desire is to please her Lord and Savior.

This you know, my beloved brethren. 
But everyone must be quick to hear, 
slow to speak and slow to anger.

They sound like an awesome family. It's very good to turn off your phones when around your friends, that is a really kind thing to do. I only have an old flip-phone because I know if I had a smartphone I'd be tempted to use it constantly! And not for productive things either!

Wow, that picture seriously looks like Loma Linda!! Is that LLU?

Yes, it is Loma Linda! My dad graduated from there many years ago and now his grandson. It is a great school.
What a lovely family! And it sounds like she would be an awesome friend!

Our oldest is getting married in the fall. He's known his lovely fiance for three years and dated for two of those years. But when they first started dating her dad asked to meet with him and asked our son his intentions toward his daughter.

My son was very respectful and honest in his answers and really appreciated the attitude and caring of her father. He knows that she is loved by her family!

Thanks so much for linking up to the "Making Your Home Sing Monday" linky party today! :)
how beautiful to have a friend who is so invested in the people around her and shining the light of Christ into everyone's lives. Its so important to have such beautiful Godly people not only in your life but in the lives of your kids. i'm so glad that your Cassie's friend got to be introduced into the lives of these dear people. What a blessing.

She sounds like a lovely woman. And it's clear you appreciate having her in your life. Who wouldn't?

What an excellent young woman!

It sounds like she enriches everyone around her!

What a blessing that can be in this world today.

We are anti-electronic, too, with dinners and family time.

Our Grandlittles just sigh and turn them off when they come in the house!

Thanks for an excellent link for the letter "E".

A+
