10.25.12

As this day began I some how knew it would be a day of looking deeper inside to figure out why I allow certain things to affect me.  Then I had a conversation with someone who was having me question it.... Who would have thought my son would then finish out the day by expressing his feelings on the family situation.  It was probably the first time he expressed these emotions and I am grateful he felt he could tell me EXACTLY what he thought about it all.  I explained to him the reality of the situation and that though it's not ideal right now, neither was the old situation.  Today he told me how he had to write an essay on one person who he would give a shield (his school is the knights and they are big on the shields of honor)... He had to pick someone who represents two... my son decided to write about me, he said the shields are caring and responsible... I am really happy to hear that he believes that about me.

The sea is his, for he made it,
      and his hands formed dry land. Psalm 95.5

Today I took pictures for my daughter and "her class"... what an adorable way to spend the afternoon.. Looking at God's children outside looking at all that God created.  The four children have very different  personalities and the class photo definitely represents that.  I cannot post the group shot but here is Mackenzie from the group shot... she looks like she belongs in an oil panting...lol and then this is her Kindergarten individual picture.

Dear Heavenly Father,

You are the most High.  As my children lay their heads down, I ask that you help them to find the Joy of your world during these crazy times.  Please keep  all those who are sick especially Sister Helen, Sister Pat, Robin, Peggy, Kelly, Ellen, Carol, Bob, Kenny, Janet, Joseph, Donna and my friend who remains nameless..., Those who are traveling and/or overseas especially Emmy please help them to stay safe and arrive safely.  All those who are looking for work including; Robin  please help them to find work.  All of the animals, Pastor Mary, Pastor Arnie and their families please keep them in your Glorious embrace always.  

Amen
