Each Day

Each day God gives up moments to stop and cherish, if we would just stop and look.  The kids went back to school on Thursday.  I was so pleased at how the girls got up on their own and I didn't have to go in there and check on them (I hope it continues). 

Kyle and Sara seem pleased and happy with their teachers and classes and seem ready for the next school year.  Kyle will have his first football game of the year in a few weeks.  I asked him what position he plays and to explain it to me.  He did he was very patient with me but I'm not sure it all really stuck.  I know that he is a corner back and a receiver...one is for defense and the other for offense but I don't remember which one is for which :)  I just know that he is good at both and with that and being on the JV he should be played quite a bit in all the games they play this year.

Sara has the foot steps of Karlee and Kyle left behind for her at her school.  Most teachers know right away who she is and pleased from the start.  Her sister and brother left behind a good path for her to follow.

Karlee however seems to be very frumpy and down on life lately and I'm concerned.  She doesn't make it easy to talk to her so I don't say much other than "I'm sorry you are going through a hard time right now, I love you and I'm here for you." then I hug her and leave the room then I look heavenward and give it God and ask for his help and guidance....I really don't know what to do.

In the mix of the kids going back to school, I ended a very long busy week over at Jane's. I was looking forward to the weekend to refresh and get ready for a new week.  I needed the hours to recoup from the school fees that was recently spent.  I'm looking forward to another week with helping Jane with her parents.  Lord she had so much on her plate this week with the grand kids, and extra dog under foot and then the normal day in and out with life living with her parents as they decline daily in their state of mind and health.  Lord you never cease to amaze me at how you have given Jane the strength, courage, and grace to keep moving forward and do all that she does that just seems to flow with ease more than what it feels like to her I'm sure while in the middle of it all, but Lord you have helped her to handle it with you very very close to her.

In my "world" at home life goes around in the house.  Micah grumbles and gets up and drags himself to work every morning.  He is tired in all ways you can think of, he is not happy, he is joyless, empty and depressed.  Yep, sadly that sums it up.  It isn't easy with his moodiness to be around him but once again God gives me what I need to make it happen and for things never to make it into a loud crazy roar, and I'm so very thankful for that.

I still struggle with painful, tired moments with living with Fibro but with the new medicine that I've been on there has been a little improvement but there are still days that I would love to just run and hide for a little while.

But Each day the Lord always finds a moment to show me a blessing to be thankful for, a joy to cherish or a moment to smile and enjoy the beauty around me.  Gotta have my Lord each day!

Quite morning with my planner and new lovely cup from a thoughtful friend :)

A friend of min surprised me with this new cup as a little gift.  I love it!

Kyle's Id picture for the year.  Yes, its a picture of a picture because he has a great smile in it and wouldn't duplicate it for me :)  He doesn't like taking pictures :(

My senior!  I can't believe it!

I haven't gotten a new picture of my Sara Bear but I will get one soon....
