Sunday Funday July 2021

I completely forgot that we’d never really done summer before. We’d never been in the USA for a summer as a family, we’d never had kids (and husband) in school and then out for the summer before. It was a completely different way of doing life: and we loved it.

Prayers and Praises

Praises for getting to do so many fun things and make so many family memories. Praises that Caid had more time to think and process before jumping into his second year of teaching high school integrated Chemistry Physics.

Praises for libraries! I really, really missed them while in Brazil, and loved that my girls got to do the summer reading program for the first time this year. It was many hours of fun time, snuggled up together on the couch. Prayers for the transition back into school season: wow, that happened fast!

Do you know of any church that might want to do this?
