Happy Saturday!
What are YOU doing with this weekend? It's DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!! I love it when we spring forward with the clocks. The days are lighter longer which is such a delight.
Last week brought so many great times to our family. Maddie got the news that she got a spot in the middle school honor choir for the school district, Meredith sang at her honor choir concert, Marky got offered a regular babysitting job for the summer, Michael had a soccer game which they won 11-1. It was a week of blessing for all of the kiddos!! Most of them spent the week doing some standardized testing at school. This isn't their favorite thing, but at least they didn't have regular homework during the week.
It was a good family week. Good doesn't mean perfect. We had plenty of times where some necks needed to be wrung!! But, here's the thing. Around here we forgive, we love, we keep forgiving, we keep loving. Even when there are rocky days and hard moments, we stay and we fight for each other. Nobody runs away. Nobody gets cut loose. We are family and we're all in this together. And whenever I feel lost and wonder what God's will for our family is I go to this verse...
"Be joyful always; Pray continually; Give thanks in all circumstances for THIS is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
