I spent most of yesterday at a park watching around 20 other homeschool children play together, while us mothers enjoyed the friendship of kindred spirits.

This morning, I am still rejoicing in the blessing of friends.  It was a true joy to see all these children gather together and play.

I recently had a lady on ETSY create a variety pack of Christian cards for me.  Though I haven't received them as of yet, she shared photos of the cards with me, and I am so anxious to receive them.  Her Etsy store is Coasters and Cards.  She has some really great Father's Day cards listed right now!

This morning, I began reading her blog, and I am very quiet.  I have been touched in more ways than I can express in words.  For you to better understand why I am feeling as I am, I wish for you to read her blog as well.  She has been through some trials I have never endured, and I sense no bitterness about her.  

When you are finished there, I encourage you to visit one of the blogs she follows, To Write Their Names In Sand, you will be deeply touched upon visiting.  Please remember to keep this family, the Burgess's, and the families represented on To Write Their Names in Sand in your prayers.

God Bless you,
Hope
