tomorrow

so far as we know there will always be a tomorrow. each one has its blessings and challenges. my tomorrow is when we will sell the house. and today that is not an easy thing to think about. but tomorrow is part of the next tomorrow. and sometimes i forget that God is in tomorrows. so i wanted to write to you kids today because tomorrow is a big day for all of us. but isaac has been doing things with the computer and addresses and emails are lost somewhere.. so i chose this medium.. hoping that you will all be checking the blog tonite.
we came bk to jeff city last thursday morning after signing papers with the buyers, again.
we have been helping the scotts pack their house and whop their yard into shape because they are buying a bigger place. that has kept us distraced and occupied which has been a real blessing but we all agree with isaac that "this has been the longest week since creation"
so lets all hold hands and hug each other today and tomorrow and remember that memories are forever.. and let go of yesterday with grateful hearts for all its gifts.
with love, mom di

Family Resemblence

The other weekend when we were at conference Simeon was standing in the lobby area and an older man walked up to him to talk. Older man: "Do you know who I am?" Simeon: "Nope." Older man: "Well do you know Titus?" Sim: Yes, he's my grandpa." Older man: "Well, you look just like him."

The man ended up being Earl Swartzentruber (grandma Schlabach's double 1st cousin?) He went to school with grandpa until he moved to Kentucky.

It's pretty impressive that one of Titus's relatives could be picked out in a crowd.

Parenting

I am working on writing a book in my head. (Aren't we all.) It's about parenting/mothering, and I need some ideas:

In what way is mothering (or parenting) like a spiritual discipline?
