And the Survey Says...

Image
Friends,  I'm copying this post from my friend, Mitzi , who is serving in Zambia with her family.  She asked for help before she packed, and we'd like to do the same.   Soo... if you have ever wanted to express yourself... now's the time to do it! We are beginning to think about the packing stage, which has brought forth quite a few questions. So... this is my survey! If you read this, I need you to help! Just leave your comments answering any or all of my questions. 1. What are the top 3 items you would take to Africa? 2. What are the best children's books you would take? 3. What are the top three kitchen tools you would take to Africa? 4. What music would you download? Favorite Worship Songs? Best all around music? 5. What Podcasts do you listen to?  Sermons? 6. Favorite games - all ages? 7.)  What would teenagers like to have in a foreign country? 8.  WHAT WOULD WE LIKELY FORGET TO PACK, BUT NEED/WANT ONCE WE ARE THERE? Thanks for your input!!

A Time to Build Up...

Image
This Christmas the boys favorite gift was...CitiBlocks.  Balsa-wood blocks cut to specific dimensions to provide balance and ease of stacking.  Creations by the boys make me wonder if they will be architects or construction engineers.  The boys have a blast building...  (Yes, this is as tall as the door frame.) ...and the boys also loved tearing the towers town.  Once they started ramming cars into them, I stopped taking pictures.  It's a blessing to seem them still enjoy the simplicity of creating! For there is... "A time to tear down and a time to build up." Ecclesiastes 3:3b

First Bag Packed for Ghana

Image
Braden ran into the house excited, scampering around with a mission in mind.   “Can I have a bag, Mom?”   “What kind of bag?” “Umm, just a bag to pack in.” “Well, would a plastic grocery bag work or do you need something heavier?” “Nah.  A grocery bag will be great.” I handed him a crumpled up Kroger bag and off he went. A few minutes later, he reappeared - bag in hand. Knowing this was something I needed to investigate, I peered into his bag and found: Braden’s favorite Tennessee hat a nice pair of shorts one of Braden’s nicer shirts a pair of socks a pair of underwear three hot wheels cars  two lego men and Braden’s new baseball Confused, I stammered, “What’s this for?”  “I wanted to pack it for Peter.  Can we pack it and take it to Ghana for him?  These are things I want him to have.” Then Braden showed me the card he made (with no help from Mom). My heart hurt.  Peter is an orphan in one of the homes in Ghana.  He and Braden became huge b...

Simplicity

On a cold Saturday morning, there is nothing sweeter than seeing my boys cuddling under blankets.  Silliness, laughter, closeness.  Really, does life get any better? These are the simple joys I cherish. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1
