Luke 6:21...blessed are you when you weep now, for you shall laugh.....vs 25 woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
Some days I really "get" that verse. And this one as well.......
Mark 9:24, Immediately, the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"
We (ok I raked)....and we did some cleaning in the yard. Had too big of a fire, but it was completely under control and it is raining now..Chris pulled some trees with the city's tree remover when he came home, so we're getting our land cleaned out...the kids had a couple friends over today (during raking!), and it's really interesting to see their behavior change immediately...just no boundaries, foolish, sneaking things that are not ok...etc.
Chris and Sophia went to Sam's alone, and stocked up on groceries...while the kids bathed and cleaned. I was at hockey with Jonathan.
Jonathan was humbled on a 5-2 loss for his team and he said he was out there when at least 4 of the goals were scored. It's been a long time since he's had a negative ratio game, so will probably set some fire to his skates for the next ice time...They were a level ahead of us, and we were tied in the first 2 periods, so really it was a pretty good game until the end.
Katya is madly fund raising for a hopeful trip to Costa Rica (next year I believe), and she doesn't have school tomorrow - yeah for her!
Jaclyn finished skinning her racoon today, it took her all day, but it was beautiful out.
We did school, we have been doing reading, math, and Bible. We did read it outloud again today, we're studying hypocrisy...today it was about how God looks at the heart, and not the outward appearance. It was very appropriate for some of our clan.
We are encouraging reading, so they can get ready for upcoming tests. Andre and James are slowly coming around, and I think Sophia and Natasha's comprehension is getting better, but there are still many words they do not know when they read outloud. No troubles for Jonathan and Jaclyn. I'm "fencing" my way through Robin Hood, and can honestly say after 15 chapters, I'm finally into it. Jaclyn has asked me to read it for 2+ years! We may watch the movie if I can ever finish it!
Hope the rain softens the earth so we can pluck some more brush from out yard...better go check for ticks. I have a very painful (nauseating) tooth ache..and am down about some things, but today was a good day, we handled all the issues swiftly and kindly, and we accomplished much....
Love in Christ, Alesia and Chris
