We have arrived in Arkansas, somewhat tired, the boys concerned about upcoming exams, yet all of us refreshed by the encounters we have had over the last two weeks with strong-families-of-excellence. We are exceedingly grateful for those who have gone before us: for their godly example, for their open arms of hospitality, for their sharing of life stories.
Exams start Friday. Tuesday through Thursday we will catch up on paperwork and phone calls. And I will read snippets of Mr. Popper’s Penguins to the youngest child, who is too young to remember our first time through it.
Report of God’s Provision: Every week, when the mail is forwarded, we are amazed at God’s surprises. Long ago we learned to not even attempt to humanly figure out how God would provide. There are new names attached to donations in the mail, and a handful of faithful familiar names, and with each gift, we feel the same wonder and gratitude towards God, who is omniscient and omnipotent…and wonderfully caring.
