Well, for starters, we are all still alive. A good thing.
So you know my post where I rant about the verse, 'my people perish for a lack of knowledge'? Well, a week or so before that I saw an email about a Bible study some women were doing from a past church we had gone to. It sounded like something I should do. I asked Moira if she would like to join me. She said yes, though she asked if we could skip the first one as it was on her birthday. However the study is only 4 weeks long, so I told her no.
The study is on 'how to study the Bible', and the very first passage that you study in the book? It contains the verse, 'my people perish for a lack of knowledge'!!!!! I think God was trying to get my attention! Moira was bummed that we were going on her birthday, but she told me later that she was very glad we went. The scriptures really seemed to relate to what our family was going through at the moment (this is coming from Moira). She was amazed to see the relation between what the scripture says will happen when there is a lack of knowledge (and this knowledge is of God's ways/laws) and the state of our family that relates right to what the scripture says will happen. Amazing!
I thought I would share that and a few phone pictures of some past events. They are not the best, but I thought it would be more pleasant to share something positive :-)
One wee picture of Jed's birthday getting set up. All of the 'real' pictures are on my camera, which I can't download since we don't have a working card reader at the moment. Jed had a Minecraft themed birthday party, and these were the potions (colored lemonade).
July 4th started with some red, white and blue pancakes for breakfast. Jonah freaked out at the sight of them and refused to eat them, saying they would taste horrid. I had to explain, and re-explain that it was the same as the green colored cake that he ate for Jed's birthday. The taste was the same, just the colors different. He finally at them.
Moira's 16th birthday. She will be having a birthday party soon, but this was part of her birthday dinner...a day late. The boys made the cakes, can you tell? I LOVE the leaning candles!
Did anyone else 'celebrate' cow appreciation day at Chick-fil-a? We did!! If you dressed like a cow you got a free meal. I thought it was just a simple meal like a chicken sandwich, but it was *any* meal that they had! Wow! Here is our youngest calf.
Some of the bigger cows! Moira had some friends meet her there, so she sat at the 'cool' table :-) Her friends are great actually! They were all dressed up. It was a HUGE, HUGE surprise to see Isabella show up!! That was the first public place that she has been to in 9 months!! She had stopped taking her remedies about 10 days prior (due to the stress of losing her job and horse), and the aggravations finally wore off. Healing was taking place, we just couldn't see much of it due to the aggravations. Anyways, this is a result of the remedies bringing healing. She still has a LONG way to go, but that was soooooo encouraging to see!!
The younger cows. They all had a ton of fun, and really loved the indoor playground as well. It had been a very long time since we've eaten out. So this was a real treat.
Merida was trying to figure out how to use a straw. She would put the straw in her mouth and tip the cup upside down...hence her wet face and shirt. She eventually figured it out! You should have seen her keeping up with her brothers on the indoor playground!!
Jonah getting in the van after our meal. He looks so much older in this picture! This is not his usual look, but handsome non-the-less.
That is it for now. Hopefully one day I will have 'real' birthday pictures, Runner's Camp pics and whatever else is on my camera card!
