Blessed

I’m home with a sick kid today so I thought I’d take a few minutes and reflect upon how blessed we are. As a family and a society.

I was reading in Deuteronomy the other day and ran across a passage where Moses is calling the people to remember God’s miraculous care throughout their desert experience.
He then proceeds to tell them:
(note my observations in red)

“For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land- a land with streams and pools of water (right in my backyard!), with springs flowing in the valleys and hills (again, in my backyard!), a land with wheat and barley,( we never lack for those carbs!) vines and fig trees (we are blessed with tons of fruit at our fingertips!), pomegranates (I honestly have pomegranate juice in my fridge!!), olive oil and honey; (EVOO in the cabinet!) a land where bread will not be scarce (tons of bread too!) and the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills (the boys are always digging treasures out of our yard!)"
Deut. 8:7-9

So, after observing that we already have what Moses described…. We are extrememly blessed!
Ponder your own blessings today!

I'm BACK!!!

Okay, I know that I swore this blog thing off when our computer died.
And I must say that I have really enjoyed being free of the computer addiction!!

But, it turns out that I have limited computer access and a dear friend has requested that I post a bit to keep people informed.

So... check in every week or so to see if I've made it online for random updates.

Here's the latest in a nutshell:
We moved back to the hometown, as of last August.
(Our OLD house is STILL FOR SALE!!! So please pray for a buyer to come along this spring... or sooner!)

We have a new house.
I love the house, location and setting.

I have a new job.
I like the new job.

T has a new job.
He likes the new job.

The kids are both in school.
They both like school.

We are back at our old church.
It's growing on us.

We've been enjoying fun family weekends and weekly trips to the city library.
The kids are both involved in the Awana program.
D plays the violin.
We've been keeping busy with family, work, school and various "stuff".
I'm loving this time in our lives. We are pretty happy these days.


More to come...
