Fall Sunday



















Clark took these pictures and let me have them on my computer before he left. Thanks Clark. I only am using ones that show me and mine.... he took lots of lovely pictures.
Gabe and Jenny had a "fine dining" meal served outside in their picnic area. I think it was one of the sweetest most amazing outdoor eating events I have ever experienced. Grilled steaks, Mashed Potatoes, corn, flaky biscuits with peach stone jelly, salad and amazing apple dumplings for dessert. All served at the table with real plates and table cloth. It was amazing...fine dining at it's best.
Later on that afternoon Clark looked over at Matt and said, " You know, I'm still thinking about that amazing steak we had for lunch." And Matt was in total agreement. It was quite a success and very special. Thanks Gabes.
Afterward, we played with the kiddios and chitter chattered and went home for naps. Then later in the evening Gabes came down to our house, so we had a nice day and time with Clarks around. I hope they get home safely tonight and I hope Benny's ears clear up soon.
Today, we're getting a new hot water heater put in and trying to get well. Sore throats and full and clogged heads going on for few of us. We are blessed and God is good. A lovely week to all of you.

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
