Last Night Being Twelve Years Old

Friday, September 15th - School-Day 22! Another foggy morning. We have a lot of humidity and moisture in the air from all the rain - makes for some light fog to start the day.

Eric has a work event for the next four days so he won't be home.

After walking Max, I worked on grading and prepping for the next two weeks of school.

Did you know we have black bear here in Florida? :)

Always my helper when I work in the office/schoolroom. :)

Started on making some of the food for Summer's birthday party the next day. Autumn wanted a garden party theme and she picked out the types of food she wanted. One was scones. I made blueberry scones. They bled all over so they didn't look super pretty. But I tried!

I made Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes for dinner.

Just looking at our youngest - her last night being 12 years old. Where does time go? I love watching her read - I was always reading even when eating.

Sunset.

This boy is so long. He takes up two seats! Ha!

Autumn and Summer decorating for Summer's party.

Good night, Summer. Dad and Mom love you very much. I wish you would stay little forever.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
