Daughter that's lovely, son that's home



The pictures of our lovely daughter were taken on a recent visit to Grove City. She's growing up into a beautiful young woman! Barry made the trek up to Grove City again yesterday afternoon to collect Matthew and all of his stuff. He is now safely home, though a bit under the weather with a cold. We had a nice meal together and have just been visiting and hanging out. All his dorm is now piled in his bedroom here, so there's just a little path to his bed. Hopefully he'll feel well enough to widen it soon. We're all so happy to have him home. Sara is still "in school," which is challenging when your brother's home and he's done, so she'll have to push through. She's almost done though, by the end of the month I suppose. I'm so grateful to be the mom to these two young people. They bring me joy. I'm reminded of how quickly the days go by and what a precious gift from God the days are. Only yesterday they were babies, soon they'll be off on their own. So, I'm thankful for today.
Psalm 39:4,5,12 O Lord, make me know my end
and what is the measure of my days;
let me know how fleeting I am!
5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
For I am a sojourner with you,
a guest, like all my fathers.
