Another Week

Another week goes by! I have been enjoying a little slower pace this week, trying to recover from all the funerals from last week. Tomorrow Cary and I will leave to go out of town over-night for Cary to do a wedding for two of our college kids. Carissa and I played with Claire a bit today, that is always a thrill. No child should be SO cute and have SO much personality! I was gone for a while and when I came home she said "Spike bit me while you were gone!" I asked what happened, and she said "I was JIGGLING him while he was asleep." I suggested that she might not want to jiggle him any more while he was asleep! Carissa said that was just what happened, but no harm done, he didn't even touch her, just scared her. He loves her and is usually very good with her, but I can see where he might not really like being jiggled while sleeping!

I met a couple the other day. They really got my attention in the way they responded to each other and just seemed to have a great relationship. I wondered if they had been through some crisis that had brought them so close. It just always seems that when you go through something really rough, you end up stronger. This week he shared with me about their daughter being killed many years ago, and how they have survived the tragedy. They go into schools and speak about the responsibility that goes with being behind the wheel of the car. He shared with me about his anger toward God and how he worked through that. Their story has been a real encouragement to me this week. Another story of how God works things for good if we allow Him to.
