March is a busy month for us. My Sister had a birthday, my Niece, my baby girl turned 16, Haley (a friend of my daughter Kelly) will have a birthday this month and Nick had a birthday. Nick is also a friend of Kelly's. We had a family get together for Aimee's birthday and she wanted homemade spaghetti and sauce so I spent the morning making the dinner for her. It was a lot of fun.
Aimee made her own birthday cake. It was amazing, and calorie laden! But it was good. I've only had two very small pieces.
The cake was dark chocolate with white icing, m&m's and kit kat bars.
Jessica has been busy taking pictures and learning more about her camera each time that she uses it.
Here are a couple that she took using a magnifying lens. Love the look! So proud of my kids!
Nick has been to visit Kelly and the family three times now, and we like this young man very much. Still getting to know him, but so far so good. Love the lively conversations that happen when he is around, but even the silence is o.k. as he just seems to fit into the family. Even though we've all only recently met, he and Kelly have been getting to know each other for several months now.
He has asked permission to court our Kelly and we have given it. Nick is a Christian young man and that is one of the first requirements we have of anyone that wants to see our daughters.
We continue praying for wisdom and guidance as we watch this relationship in the early stages. We seek to be in God's will in all that we endeavor, especially in relationships. We want to honor God in all that we do.
If he will sit still for a photo the next time he visits I will post a picture of him and Kelly together.
Last week, a sweet dear friend called with an urgent prayer request. Her son had been injured in an accident, and lost part of his ring finger and broke another finger on the same hand. Oh, how I ached for them, so many memories came flooding back of my sweet son. We are praising God that it wasn't any worse. How I love this family and I praise God that He has given me such an awesome Family in Christ. I love you Joan! Continuing to pray daily.
April is almost here and we are looking forward to Resurrection Sunday. How beautiful that day that we celebrate the most precious gift that God gave us.
May your life be filled with the love, grace and joy that comes from walking hand in hand with Jesus, our resurrected Saviour!
Blessings to All ~ S~
