Living the Moments

Rex and Elisabeth Mansfield are survivors. They survived the lure of living a Hollywood, celebrity lifestyle by pulling away from the King of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. They survived the love of money and the draw of the world (1 John 4:15-17) by turning to Christ as their Lord and Savior in 1976, placing their lives in the hands of Jesus. On July 8, 2017, Rex will have survived 82 years of life. Within the last twenty years he has survived Guillian Barre' Syndrome, type 2 Diabetes and open heart surgery, along with some less abusive health issues, including Iritis, broken Achilles tendon, facial skin cancer, torn rotator cuff tendon and hernia surgery. Elisabeth survived macular degeneration with the loss of sight in her left eye after 29 injections, and thanks be to God she now has 20/15 vision in her right eye. By God's grace and healing power, she has recently survived stage one lung cancer through the use of Cyberknife radiosurgery and is now on the way to being cancer free, praise God! Furthermore, the Mansfields have survived over five decades of the ups and downs of marriage through God's divine covering while adopting a wonderful son, Don Mansfield Jr., born in January, 1966, now age 51. Our prayer is that readers of Living the Moments will not only be amazed by what they read, but will also be blessed by what they learn about God's wonderful, marvelous grace!
