A glance at other's posts....Chris is almost home!

My husband is almost home! I'm still awake. Katya played me in checkers.... she won 2 times! I just glanced (didn't even read fully) at a few of the blogs on my page, and realize I HAVE IT EASY!

My big struggles today were 2 kids flipping over a game because it didn't go their way, and one of them calling me, sobbing, confessing her wrongdoing to me! And a couple little guys disrespecting their older sister with words...

A few short words from me, and a few apologies and we were at peace again.  Knock Knock jokes helped too. I appreciate any of you out there praying for us, because we do need it. Some days we need it and today I can tell someone out there is praying. Can you pray for an outing for Chris & I for his birthday...would like to do an over night if possible...just to really relax, it's been about 1 year since we got away for a night..which was at Dad & Mom's and has such special memories for our 15th anniversary...we are really fortunate...

I forgot to mention it was a snow day here...Katya had off school, the kids played outside for hours...shovelled the driveway without my asking...just too good to be true..except I'm finally getting the crud everyone else has had, but feeling much better now...

Love Alesia & Chris

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
