Every Blessing

A Tuesday afternoon trip to the lakefront at Lake Ontario. We played hide-and-seek behind in the trees, and we saw a boat anchored at the shore. We also saw big dogs and smelled french fries and chicken nuggets cooking at a restaurant. Then we went home and had supper. (as told by Caleb and Nella)

We are so far still home and enjoying it. With Grandma's help, we are adjusting to life at home. I'm learning how to organize our meds. I'm getting used to washing dosing syringes; Grandma was helpful in setting up a system here for that, thanks to her experience with Sara and her girls.

We take each good thing for what it is, a gift from God and an answer to prayer. In our house, at the end of each night, we sing a song with the kids. In this song we name a few of the good things that God has given us that day. There have been times these last few days when I would think, "What in the world can Caleb think of that has been good today?" yet there are always many things to name. This is how we do things, one day at a time. And sometimes one moment at a time. When it's good, we'll enjoy and give thanks for what we have. Carpe Diem. When it's bad, we trust and hope that this too shall pass. That's how I'm operating right now, and so far so good. We remain in God's hands.

Thank you again everyone for all of your love and care. Your prayers are being answered, and we feel your support. We are still receiving meals, and that is such peace of mind and so good for us right now. Thank you. We still cannot really take visitors right now, and so I give thanks that Caleb has two sisters to play with. I am thankful for this blog that helps me stay connected with you, and for email, and telephones, and for Grandma who makes it possible for Tim and I to go out for a walk at night.

I hope you all have a good day today.
