the simple joys in life...

This picture...I love it. Adrian had been reading a story to Wulf, who hopped down to ride on Sunny. Wulf is holding a toy pan with a handful of cereal in it. Sonja is on the couch holding Tennyson, who is awake and alert, and looking at her. Evelyn is helping Miss Char with her math homework. Paul is finding a Loonytunes video for Wulf...

Miss Charlotte Claire holding the beautiful Tennyson Paul...

This is a pic from Oregon, Jonathan with little Achilles.

Sonja and I...mmmm, iced coffee! A supreme court justice has died, there was a mass shooting in a city less than an hour away, and the coronavirus just won't stop. Unrest, violence, fear and hatred loom, and things that are just sinful are defended and paraded. I think God is pleading with us, to turn to Him. There, in His goodness, is peace and rest. The very hairs of our heads are numbered, whether we believe that or not, it is so. Yes, the world is in turmoil. But when you give your life entirely to God, then every single thing that happens to you, down the very smallest thing, will work for your very best. When you love righteousness and hate iniquity, as Jesus did, you will be annointed with the oil of gladness. The iniquity in your own self, of course, not in the others! So who knows what today will bring. I am still tempted to be anxious about so many things, but then I pray, and say NO to those thoughts, those thoughts that want to wreck peace, and ruin life. It's a good fight, the fight of faith!!!!
