Monday...

Here's another post of sentences for you Mom.  Since you support my one sentence thoughts!  
After a Big Weekend  and then back to Monday I've come away with many random and floating thoughts in my head.  
First observance.  The kids here are good at heart and have pretty solid homes and lives. I don't think one could take them down the wide and crooked too easily.  Not sure how that all came about but it's a good thing.   Therefore our first night of being co youth sponsors was quite nice.  They're a young crowd and good kids.  There.  That's all recorded now for when I get exasperated in the next year!  :) 
Second Observance:  Having friends stop by  unannounced is a good thing too!  Good for relationships and good for my pride.  Teaches me to stop procrastinating and get the work done.... you never know who it will be and all that.  But it was encouraging and good to visit with them ! 
Third Observance:  Pain and hard things in life aren't the end of the story.  They're more like the beginning.  But we don't know that when we're in the middle of those hard things.  Watching out for eachother is key for building and not tearing down in these hard times.  
Fourth:  I wish I could reach in and fix things for the whole community of friends I have who are going through hard things!  BUT I know one who can and I'm glad I can at least pray and trust in the goodness of God to make it all good in the end.  It's the beginning of the story! Remember?! 
Fifth:  Late nights with kids makes for a really emotional Monday. Oh My!  But we'll light the candles and sweep the floors and see how we can do  these late weekend nights with more agility next time! (Emotions on the part of my baby boys! Ahem! )  
Sixth:  My boys NEED hair cuts.  Anyone want practice in barbering school?  
Seventh:  I still have a kitchen to clear up and supper to make and baby cakes just reached her limits. Ta Ta.....

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....
