Thankfulness! Today I am thankful for blue sky, a bit warmer temperatures, friends who love and pray for us, a warm house, food to eat, and clothes to wear- and that is just the beginning of things we have to be thankful for in our lives.
As the Coronavirus strides forward, I’m hearing more and more about fear about what comes “after” the corona virus. How will this affect churches, small business, the economy, small Christian schools, the election, and on and on. I’m hear to say that the God that is all-seeing and all-knowing is already there. The Bible states clearly that we have no reason to fear as God is still in control. Oh, it might not seems like it from our perspective, but that’s why it’s called “faith”. We just keep on praying and doing the next right thing. For me today that included feeding my tribe, laundry, a bike ride, quiet moments, and solving our children’s problems...doesn’t sound very glamorous, does it? The truth of the matter is that much of our Christian life isn’t glamorous, it’s one step at at time doing what we know to be right. Rest in that tonight.
Roger worked today, so Garett and I were on trash duty. Every week it changes, so we never know what to expect. This week they were only allowing two vehicles into the dump yard at a time. They only had one dumpster and everything went in the one dumpster regardless of what it was...no recycling or sorting again. The yard workers were wearing masks today, and Garett and I were both happy to leave. We got the job done!
The kids spent much of the day outside, except Chandler. He woke up with a migraine, so he ended up heading back to bed. He was feeling much better by later this afternoon, so he went outside for a while, and he ate supper. I’m guessing he is fine again! Garett managed to kill a chipmunk with his pellet gun, so he skinned it out, and is treating the hide. He is writing and collecting for one of his assignments for school. I hope his teacher isn’t shocked by all his “treasures”. I don’t think she will be as she’s a great sport and a good teacher.
When Roger came home from work, he brought along a large box from his boss and his wife. We are so blessed to work with such a wonderful couple who also love and invest in our children. The box was full of goodies, art supplies, games, crayons, paint, paper, modeling clay, and other things! It was a wonderful surprise, and we are so thankful. It will keep our children happily entertained for a while as they try out all the surprises in the box.
Maine news: Maine is up to 456 cases of Coronavirus with ten deaths in the state. We also have had 120 people recover from the virus so that would be the good news. The virus is found in fifteen of Maine’s sixteen counties. Around America...I feel that it is almost impossible to know what is actual truth, so I don’t really have a comment to add there. We just keep on praying that God will do great things, and that we will wait patiently as He is working.

Clearly, this girl has brothers as she is posing next to a dead chipmunk!
The song I’ve chosen for today is one that I had the privilege of singing with a few others at a special event at church many months ago. I love the fact that “through it all, He is Lord, Lord of all.”
