March 9th, 2008 Sweet Providences and Blessings From the Past Few Days…
* two highly-encouraging parent-teacher conferences with our school-aged children’s instructors.
* pretty, spring-like weather, and working in the yard together as a family
* supper and fellowship with our church home group - and love and support and prayers from them
* beautiful flowers from a thoughtful friend
* a bequeathing of a little playhouse from a next-door neighbor for our children to enjoy in the backyard.
* Josiah telling me “I luz you” for the first time when I hadn’t told him so first.
* sweet find on Craigslist for my Honey - a manly, yet attractive Weirs leather recliner (we bought this BEFORE the layoff!)
* our daughter’s newfound love of baking, and the yummy results which we are all enjoying immensely.
* overwhelming expressions of care and support from all over, after our shocking news on Thursday.

A list like this is a great encouragement and it helps keep things in proper perspective, especially during “hard times.”
