This is a very stressful week for our family.  My father-in-law was hospitalized on Sunday suddenly and is not doing well at all.  Therefore, hubby is at the hospital a lot and may spend some nights there.  There are a lot of hard decisions our family is facing. 

Also, my second son graduates on Saturday and registers for his fall classes on Thursday (there is a fairly important new student orientation that he is a part of on that day).  I need to take my daughter that same day to an orchestra contest about 3 hours away.  This same son is trying to CLEP out of some classes before he registers on Thursday and I am trying to help him.  AND my hubby's birthday is tomorrow!  Yikes!  There is more of course but those are glaring things right now.  I'm making programs, trying to get details worked out for the graduation and so on.  Somewhere in here is a child needing help learning to multiply by 4. 

But the Lord sent a blessing to me this week.  It came in the form of His people in our church.  They brought us dinner yesterday and will for the next three days.  They have called, prayed and asked a lot of times how they can help.  They are a balm to my soul. 

I want to praise the Lord for our precious church family.  Yes, they are humans with human flaws.  But they love us in tangible ways that really make a difference.  They are willing to make sacrifices to serve us.  I hope I can learn from their example.
