Grace packed up the kids and went back home after dinner last evening. The basement problem is fixed, again, and hopefully for good! I made two chicken pot pies for dinner, and mmm they were good. Grant and Ruth really liked it, Rhys ate some, Achilles settled on an apple:). (Kathryn was here for a visit)
The kids had fun because the weather was so mild, yet there was a boatload of snow on the deck still. They get to go out there and ride around on the ride ons and play on the little slide.
There's a lot swirling around in my head this morning, things I can write about later, things I am sad about...life is interesting...I cannot control very many things, but I can work on how I take things, right? Bitterness doesn't happen overnight, it's a process that begins with a thought, a thought which is nurtured and coddled, watered and paid attention to, until it forms deep roots, and defiles many. ("Looking carefully, lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by this many become defiled..."(Heb. 12:15)).
So we fight to keep our thoughts pure, and it's a good fight. God is good. You all have a really good day too. :)

Good morning! That picture is beautiful! It almost looks like fire 🔥All the pictures of the birthday and bowling are great! You’ve had a busy time with one thing and another. We used to love bowling when the kids were young and for some reason we mostly did it on holidays and always wondered why we didn’t go more often because we all had such fun. My grandchildren loved having a bowling party when they were young and it was good because they always had party rooms so all the mess was there! Then they could go out to play at home.
I’m sorry you are sad at the moment Della 😔 I’ve been a bit sad too I have to say, but life goes on doesn’t it and we just have to move along with it. Life can’t always be butterflies and roses as we know only too well. Big hugs 🥰
Have a lovely day………

That last part of the Hebrews verse gets me: "and by this many be defiled" So I could ruin something for someone else...Ouch. Thank you for sharing these good words, and I hope everything is ok with you and your family.

Marilyn, what good memories! Those days just go by too quickly. Life can't always be butterflies and roses, true! Thank you for the big hugs:)
Valerie, it's pretty serious, isn't it? Everything is pretty okay, I'll clue you in soon...sometimes people ask others not to say anything about some things, which is hard when you blog and there's something sad...I can't just pretend everything is A-okay, although it actually is...in most ways. Life is life, and sad things are a part of it...thank you for your kindness. :)
I love all the photos today! Such fun with your precious littles!! Good times. Thanks for sharing!!
I love your attitude. Thank you for the reminder. I lost my faith for a long time, but with these crazy times we’re living in (and personal/family struggles) I found it again. In good times and in bad, God is Good. I hope you and your family are okay.
