LR, I’m sorry I did not see your update on the 12th. I’m praising God along with you. What great news that things turned out to be so wonderful. I’m sure that Amanda is not sure that it’s all good, but I know that you think so. God is good.
No apologies even remotely necessary! I know a Freepmail to one of the prayer lists, crossed with the thread being put up by Joya by a few days, so no worries! I know you, and everyone else were still praying anyway! LOL :) {{{HUGS}}}
Yeah, Manda (as I came to call her) is starting to get a little bored with sitting — even with a small “netbook” (mini-laptop) to talk with her friends and draw with her tablet. Tonight we got her a huge stack of interesting books to look at/read. I’m also going to modify her homeschooling a bit so she can just do worksheets and such for a while — nothing strenuous, but also something to do!
We gathered a bunch of interesting books on England/Great Britain; my old English Lit Book, a book about the Royal Family (going back a few generations, and relatives like Tsar Nicholas), a book of English Fairy/Folk Tales/Mythology by Bullfinch, and a few more! LOL She joked that she was going to be an expert on the History of England and Great Britain by the time she was done reading those books! :) So, you can tell she’s still in good spirits and making the best of things. She loves things to do with England and stuff, so she was excited to get it all together on the shelf right next to her. :)
I’m thanking God continually for our good fortune, especially in light of our cousin’s passing. We did not know the family well, because our family is so large, but Kevin and I know Matthew’s grandparents - I met them once at Kevin’s Mom’s house years ago, and they attended our wedding, so it’s really sad. Plus there is family resemblance so that’s hard on top of them being the same age! There but for the grace of God... Thank you, Jesus!
