This week has been much less eventful than the last few weeks....PTL! Right now, my husband is taking our daughter to a nearby church. She attends Sunday night Youth Group there. The group is leaving for a missions trip to North Carolina to help refurbish a church. The youth will be painting, sawing, cleaning, etc, for a church in need. I am so proud of my daughter for going on this trip.
Our two older boys have been at Boy Scout camp since last evening. Their event is an Order of the Arrow Summer Pow Wow. They will return on Sunday, then leave again Friday to work at camp for several weeks (not necessarily continuous) during the summer.
The youngest son is at a dear friend's house. He is supposed to come home after middle school youth group tonight. I bet I get a call this afternoon asking if he can stay at his friend's house tonight!
So it's the pets and myself here at home. Once again I'm reminded that it isn't too long before he children will head out into the world on their own. Given recent events, I worry about their future.....will they make good choices? Will others take advantage of them? How will they support themsevles? Lifting them up to the Lord is the only option, as I will not be able to control it all!!!! Even on the midst of change, there is a sweet calm knowing that He is there to help them. I'll be praying for all my darlings' safety this weekend, as well as a hedge of protection over them in the future.
Meanwhile, I should get something done. I complain I can't get things done with everyone underfoot. Now everyone's gone and I'm on the computer! Have a Blessed weekend!
