Back to winter hours at church again. We started the day off with Potluck breakfast and that was fun. And my grandson made his first visit to church today too. Annette came with us while my wicked son went golfing.
Randall spoke about how God uses the difficult experiences of life to deepen our faith. It was timely for me because I seem to have end to end difficult experiences some days. And prayer – I learned a bit more about how much God cares in his answer to one of mine.
For most of the afternoon and evening my house was filled with kids. Dave, Annette and Kieran for lunch. This afternoon, Sara had some of her friends over and they were playing Sims downstairs. Then tonight Christian and friends were jamming down in his “room” which looks more and more like a music studio. I don’t know how many guitars are down there – about 5 plus his drums. We were rocking. Makes us appreciate the renovations to our office last winter which give us a moderate amount of sound insulation!

You must be incredibly considerate parents, sound proofing just so they can play loud š
Actually though, the fact that so many people all want to be together in your house is a real sign that you’ve created a warm and loving home environment: one that everyone likes to be in.
Yeah. I keep telling myself that as the kids pile in. I am doing better at this in my old age than I did when I was a newer parent. Experience is a good teacher.
But patience and love make you remember the lesson.
