FAMILY

We enjoyed a visit from Shawn and Tavia and the boys Atlin and Oliver.  They consider us just like family.  Right now Shawn has been laid off but is going to take training in Sept.  Instead of selling paint he will becoming a master chief.  He loves cooking.

The boys are happy playing with their master truck toys we bought for them.

Atlin was a little shy at first.

Oliver remembers us.

We keep our distance.

It seems a little strange.

The afternoon went by very quickly.

Dad had a call as pre-arranged from his doctor.  He will do the blood test for celiac.  He ordered some pain pills for dad.  Both his ribs and his back hurt.  It is good to have our back yard to sit out in and enjoy a safe visit.

I think that in many ways dad is becoming more mellow and calm.

Where is God when we suffer?  He promises never to leave us or forsake us.  He knows we can feel discouraged  but he is with us now by the powerful holy Spirit.  This is the spirit that gave Jesus the energy to heal and to teach the truth about God's love.

We had a good day and I hope dad rests better to-night.  Then I will too!

Family and Faith are what I value the most.
