Our pastor is preaching this month on "Simplexity". Simple truths for a complex world. You can access his sermons by going to the Grace Church of Roseville website on this blog page. He is speaking from the book of Proverbs...
I read this proverb to Jonathan one time (or had him read it to me) after we had a tough time leaving the house for one of his hockey games...
Prov 15:1-go as far you like...."A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. A fool despises his father's instructions, but he who receives correction is prudent........
It goes on to talk about a merry heart, a wise son, a good report, and other great advise for living....
We're so grateful for Sophia's new found love for our Lord...she has proclaimed Him to a few people and her love and joy is spilling out to others in our family! We are very blessed. And she is grateful and blessed as well.
Jaclyn and Jonathan had a fun weekend touring a college campus with Chris, Katya is at 98% in her algebra class, testing is going much better for the kids this year, but Andre still needs a lot of work in reading and focus. We may need some special testing for him someday, but want to wait a little and see if our Lord will soften his heart as well, and maybe he'll find ways to calm down. He still struggles with focus and truthfullness, and random acts of "violence" to nature and such.
Sophia & Natasha have a skating show in a couple of weeks, the girls also have a tambourine show this week at a couple of nursing homes. They love watching it. A few of us had a lot of fun bagging rice for our our church work day yesterday (8000lbs! in to little 1lb bags). And played a lot of 500 this weekend much to the kids joy. Even though there were a few illegal plays, and questions about what is a club or a spade, we made it through.
Jonathan had 2 ice times today, one was a game (L6-3) an he was -3(he thinks) against a tougher team one level up, and then a great skills program in the evening in which he did pretty good, and came off the ice really happy. The little boys had baseball tonight, and the girls had practice for their show.
We are grateful for good days, and thank you always for your love, understanding, and prayers! As our life gets easier, please, don't hesitate to ask us for help!
Love Alesia & Chris
