Today we go to Sully Christian School, where Colby's class is doing chapel. We are told to have faith like that of a little child and I am always amazed and inspired when I hear these two little guys pray or tell me their Bible story or recite the latest memory work from school.
In the last Sully Christian School newsletter, Colby wrote this prayer: Dear God, Why did you make animals that kill people? See you at home. Colby Jay De Vries
I love that line "see you at home". So thankful that Colby knows that he can "see God at home", like a friend and a father.
This has been a "normal" week I suppose in the new normal. We've been busy with the kids' houses, water lines in at Leighton for the DeBoefs and finish work being done for the DeVries house by Peoria. In order to keep up with the kids, I rearranged the living room at home, yet once again. I have two theories on my need to drag the sofa, tables, bookcases, and yes, the TV across the room. One: moving it makes it look new, and leaves me somewhat content with a new look! Two: when you cant' control anything else in life, you CAN tell that sofa where it's resting place will be, at least for the next week! I'm thinking about starting a new business, "Balance by Beverly", where I would come to your house, and shove your sofa, restoring balance and contentment to your living room... what do you think??
Georgia gets her first shots today, so we could have a long day and night of rocking and walking! It seems lots of folks we know need our prayers today for illness, surgeries, and tests. I still find myself thinking of the "perfect song" to play...and I miss picking out my morning music!
thanks for stopping by, more later! Enjoy the weekend, see you in Church, and God, we'll see you at home!
