Another Day

Mountain flowers at Baker

It is hard to believe that it's only two and a half weeks until Ana starts kindergarten. She is excited to go to school every day but was a bit upset when she thought she wouldn't be able to come shopping with me anymore! I assured her that it was possible to go shopping at other times of the day!

After a surprisingly quick weekend we are back into another week. Sam is busy getting ready for a big staff retreat that he is hosting at the end of August. He spent today at Cedar Springs having a prayer day - one of the best ways to prepare for a period of business.

I'm at home doing yet another load of laundry (it never ends) and teaching Zac how to vacuum. He's pretty good at picking up the big things and loves to get all the stuff under the couch cushions.

Today I'm thinking about how God gives and takes away and how hard it is to understand the taking away part. Yet in abundance as well as in the absence of abundance we still must say "blessed be the name of the Lord."
