It's time to continue counting my every day blessings. As I gaze at this photo of little Story listening so intently, I can't help but smile. The children in our school are such an amazing blessing.
LOVE
Story and Christian are three years old. They are in one of the other Pre-K 3 classes but we all spend much time together. These two precious children tell everyone they are best friends.
Our classes take PE together so I was able to get a few cute shots with my camera.
If only life were this simple. If only we would learn to
...love one another.
John 13:34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
Most children are not scarred by life at this age. It's refreshing to see friendship blossom.
CHANGE
For the past few years, I've struggled with change. Moving when I didn't want to move. Trying to adjust to difficult circumstances. And now
...another move.
But what I realized last evening was that I was content. Greg and I sat in our small living room and talked about how far we've come. We were able to count the many blessings. Our marriage relationship is stronger than it ever was when we had 'everything'.
We're doing all of the work ourselves since it's costly to hire people to do things. In the past, we would think nothing of just calling a vendor to help. But there's something special about putting your own sweat and making it a labor of love. Greg and I are working together as a team.
HOME TEAM
There are several beautiful rose bushes outside our entry.
Celebrating Easter was special. It's the reason I can smile and have hope in this life. Jesus is not dead in the grave. He's alive! His Spirit is living in my heart and how thankful I am.
