This week I found out that a very dear childhood friend (that I often think about but have not had contact with since HS) older sister passed away in a house fire with her three children. Needless to say I was saddened for their entire family and will pray for them in this time of grieving. We also heard that Wes' childhood friend's daughter is in the hospital with Scarlett fever, and pneumonia ( she is only 8).
Hearing of such grief is always a reminder to treasure the moments that I have with my children. Mia is funny, kind, thoughtful, curious, tender, considerate, a good little hostess, beautiful, and enjoyable! Abbey is fun, funny, adventurous, active, enjoyable, people oriented, bold, intelligent and loving. I am thankful God gave them to me! I am thankful He burdened my heart to home school them! I am thankful for the struggle of homeschooling and mothering which keeps me even more dependant on the Lord to create in me the characteristics He wishes to develop and not the things I wish to develop. It is a privilege to get to watch them day in and day out growing and developing in personality and character. They are a wonderful blessing and a gift. Thank you Lord for our time together!
