It's Spring!

It's finally Spring around here, but the weather still can't decide what it wants to do. One day it is warm and the next day not quite cold but very chilly. It was almost 70 yesterday and I heard someone say that it might snow tomorrow. I am trying to get some yard work done as I can. We have gotten a cherry tree and plum tree. I am also working on getting our garden set up. Started several different vegetable seeds earlier this afternoon.

I have to say that I really do like having Fridays off. I always plan on getting a bunch done, but usually it seems that I just kind of rest and relax, while usually getting a little bit done. Oh well.

We are in the process of transitioning over to using a digital display for our songs in church instead of the songbooks and printed sheets. We use a number of different songs that are not in the songbook and the papers we are using definitely contribute to clutter and mess. Also, we are now able to add new songs much easier. We are still in the process of getting all of the hymns transferred over. We had a good district convention last week as well. We are looking to hopefully and prayerfully, have a good turn out for Easter. Which reminds me, I have some work to do out in the yard before the egg hunt.

Jobi is growing more all the time. Her vocabulary is expanding fairly rapidly as well. Hopefully, we will get some new pictures sometime soon.

Update on Diane's nephew

Apparently, he is just anemic. They think he had a nose bleed that went down his throat and that is the blood he threw up. Thank the Lord it appears to be something minor.

"I'm a princess"

Those were Anna's words as she is going down the hallway with an apron on! Little does she know what this world thinks of as "princesses". But she, in her little apron, is my princess. And in my humble opinion, much more of a princess than those of this world that try to be. And the thing is she knows that she is my princess, even without me telling her.

If Anna can know this, can we not know as well that we are God's chosen, without Him repeatedly telling us so? And yet He does, to reassure us in His love for us. Thank you Lord.

Diane's nephew

Please pray for my sister's nephew. He has vomited up a lot of blood at once. They believe that he possibly had a stroke. I believe he is only 15.

Keeping our eyes on Jesus

Anna was incredibly sleepy after church this morning. But she refused to go to sleep. She was screaming and crying insistent that she wanted something else. Funny thing happened though, every time I could get her to look me in the eyes she quit crying. Every time her attention strayed from me and whatever I was trying to get her to focus on, she started crying again. Eventually, I was able to get her to go to sleep. I guess the moral of the story is, if we just focus on what our Father wants us to focus on, we will be a lot better off. Just keep your eyes on Him.
