We hosted preschool at our house. One of the little American boys said to one of the little Dutch girls, "I have a hard time understanding you because we're not from the same village."
We bought our plane tickets from here to the capital city.... I had just "happened" to check the airlines' website to check itineraries and get a general idea on prices and about fell out of my chair at the promo they had going. When Brant went to pay for the tickets at the airport, he said the ticket lady was visibly shocked when she saw the price. Thankful for how God provides!
We had the boys fill their own water bottles last night after dinner. Every night it's been one of my "chores" to rinse their bottles and refill them and stick them in the fridge for the next day. As Elijah was finishing dinner, Brant told him to rinse his own bottle and refill it and stick it in the fridge. Caleb did likewise. Revolutionary! I am loving my ten extra minutes a day. :)
We got an email from friends who are missionaries in Africa. Their little girl fell at the playground, crushed her wrist, and broke a bone in her forearm, which tore through the muscle and severed an artery. And just like that they are back in America (well, actually had several days of preliminary treatments trying to get her stable enough to travel) ...headed for countless surgeries and reconstructions to try to repair the damage from a simple accident. Reminder for us that we are not here one second longer than the Lord wants us to be here. And we do not live here one second without God's protection and grace.
