We spent the weekend catching up with family and friends we haven't seen in a long time. Friday evening, we had the pleasure of hosting our friends, Jason and Anna and their little ones, for our first Shabbot meal in this house. They are leaving on a medical mission half way around the world soon. We won't see them again for two years. It was neat to hear of their plans and know that even though there are still so many unknowns, the Lord is in control.
Saturday was Matt's Nana's memorial service. It was a nice remembrance of a woman who planted the seeds of faith in her children and then those seeds grew and were passed on to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. We spent the rest of the weekend gathering for meals, chatting and playing games with all the relatives we haven't seen for several years.
We spent yesterday recovering from all the excitement of the weekend. We'll spend the week on schoolwork, finishing the summer to winter clothes exchange project and making applesauce. My list is always longer than time and energy will allow, but by God's grace some things get done and I have to learn to be thankful for that.
