Bumper Stickers & skating.......

I was driving Friday morning and saw a bumper sticker illustrating a little boy relieving himself on someone running for office. It was also this politician's birthday that day when I saw it and the irony really struck me as I had rec'd an e-mail calling for birthday messages & donations. I thought about how sad it is that real people doing what they think is right, can have others putting bumper stickers on their cars just slandering them! But I guess that is what free speech is. I also find it sad when people need to slander and hurt others with their free speech. Maybe there should be a bumper sticker that says to do that to "slanderous" people!

Anyway....Jonathan had about 4 hours of ice time today, including some fun 3on3 ice time. We actually played against some folks from our association a year+ ago, and it was nice to say hi and see a few folks. I miss a lot of those parents and kids. His team dominated, but it was still a good game and fun to watch.

The girls had their skating lessons today, and during lessons, there was a gentleman there that took to our family. He was in charge of the candy, and a big donator for our upcoming skating show, and he gave the kids some candy and little water guns. He was just plain kind to them. I told him how much we appreciated his generosity toward the show and how much Natasha & Sophia will be enjoying it. Jaclyn had a lot of violin today as her concert is coming up on Friday, so they had their dress rehearsal tonight as well as her lesson today. The girls also had their tambourine practice for their upcoming shows at nursing homes. The boys played capture the flag during the tambourine practice.

It was chilly and cold today, but bright and sunny. We are grateful for good days! We are thankful for your prayers....

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
