It's a Good Life

 Outside I hear my two year old playing in the sandbox and singing Jesus Loves Me very clearly. 

 The doors are hanging open.  The kitchen windows are open ALL THE WAY. 

  I have the grill started for steaks. 

 The boys are playing somewhere outside. 

 Matt is sleeping like a good mono patient should.

  Zerrick has one more test in Language Arts and he will be able to call it good for school for the year.

  We heard our little baby's heart beat yesterday.  Only 29 more weeks to go!:)  

Matt put a new to me sink in my laundry room last night. I keep going back to look at it.  It was a ten dollar garage sale buy and I'm quite pleased. 

 I saw that Walmart finally got their trees and shrubs in so I bet the other garden centers have theirs in as well.  What kind of fruit and flowering trees shall we plant?

  Our garden we planted is coming up.  I have a nice green row of peas coming up. 
   
We have a good life.

You know Amy I love to read your blog. I can feel a lot of your feeling through your words. Life is good if I step back and see the reality of it and sometime when you are in the fight of life and making decisions that you never thought you would have to make and you reach out trusting/praying/fighting to find God in the turmoil you forget the now. As I walked with my girls today through the spring of the year I feel my heart swell with joy as I feel their closeness and pleasure of spending the morning with their mother. They are growing up into little ladies and I feel the responsibility. What they are getting out of life through the eye of me? What a privilege I have to show them the true meaning of life. I think though that life is a journey that we will always walk in search of yet a deeper relationship with our Lord but I can play a big impact of starting my girls down that road. Well any way I didn’t mean say all that when I started but here is a few of my thought too.  ~VaLita

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....
