Summer's Ending.....

      There are a lot of little things being completed now.  Our Fall time is here.
     At the house, Matt got the paint picked for the outside of the house.  Looks perfect.  Next summer I'll get the exterior doors painted.  In the end it will be red white and blue! :)  Other things happening at the house:  We have two guys finishing up mudding and sanding and trim work.  So next week I can paint... the rest of the house!  Yes!
    Our revivals are done.  We had a great week of revivals.  Very refreshing for Matt and I.
     My canning is nearly finished!  I actually got some fabulous tomatoes from those plants I planted two months late!  amazing.
      My oven and my washer both died in the last week.  Matt has purchased some VERY nice replacements for me.  There is something nice about having household appliances that work well.  I am spoiled but oh so so thankful.  Having four persons in Jeans adds up to a lot of laundry.  And having three boys makes for a lot of baking.
    My mom's hip replacement surgery went well.  Glad about that.  I only wish I were there to help with the healing process.  She has good help right now though.  Arla leaves Thursday and Andrea arrives today.  I'm praying she does everything right with her therapy and gets back to her gardening and biking and all that in no time.  I think I have figured out over the phone that Mom and Dad are very thankful for all the help but I think they like their independence better.
       So now I documented that....We can now begin our Fall time camp fires and longer evenings and finish getting moved to the other house.  :)

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....
