Brooke came to the cottage tonight and had dinner with us and the girls. Afterwards we spent time on the playground...it was good to have her back w/us at the home. This was her first time back to the cottage after her accident. She had a good time and the boys, bill and i had a nice visit with no behaviors. She seems to be transitioning okay back into school going from 11-1 (PE and lunch)...sounds like my type of school. soon she'll swing back into the full realm. i'll have pictures of her visit at the cottage soon (my other computer is down at the moment).
A friend of mine and I have been reading thru Romans. This week we are on Romans 5. I'd encourage you to read it. Today, my calendar had this to say and it reminded me of the passage. I hope it will encourage you in your circumstances as it has mine.
"the
only thing that will enable me to enjoy adversity is the acute sense of eagerness of
allowing the life of the Son of God to evidence itself in me"
i found that to be profound and a life i strive to live towards in my circumstances.
this picture was taken years ago in Memphis when we were at the children's home. as a friend of mine and I were talking...i found this picture to be a bit ironic. The road she is sitting on reminds me of the journey she is on, up hill, windy, down hill, rough, smooth...
