Is there any great priviledge than to see your children grow? It's amazing to me that the Lord has entrusted Roy and I with the care of these dear children. Today our Christopher turned 14. We're having a wonderful day of celebrating. He enjoyed some morning sledding with his brothers and friends, pizza for lunch and an afternoon of visiting with those same friends.

I look at him and can't help but smile. He loves the Lord, is mature, hardworking and dreams of buying a home with cash for a future wife and family.

We love celebrations around here and today is no exeption. As believers we have cause for celebration every day but isn't it so easy to get caught in the workings of every moment to forget to celebrate. I know so many who run from one thing to another without ever pausing to consider their blessings. It makes me tired just watching. I am so grateful that we have made the choice of homeschooling. That allows us to enjoy so many moments of educational celebrations. Learning to write their names, reading their first book, memorizing their first scripture, getting an a on a biology test, figuring out alegra equations, doing their first research project. So much to celebrate.
