I didn't write about our visit to the Melting Pot...it was such a good evening...I don't think I will ever forget how much fun we all had! We had never been before and they bring out pots of cheeses for appetizers and then a dip for meats and veggies and 2 pots of chocolate for desserts...it was so good! But I think that the best part was that the whole process took 2 hours and it was fun to sit and talk and laugh as we ate.
On the way home, we decided to go watch the sunset at the end of Denbigh Blvd. Not only was the sky beautiful but the weather was perfect. There were some boats coming in a little boy trying to catch tadpoles and some fishermen on the deck....a lovely evening. We took pictures of each other and just sat and took it all in....not only what was going on around us, but what was going on IN us....we know our days of the simple pleasures are ending as FOUR of us. Our experiences will be different but I hope we take joy in sharing with each other and making the times we ARE together more special. God has been good to us as a family. We have been through a lot together and we have survived through HIM. It has made us stronger and made us closer. We are blessed.

Dear Donna --- wow. Thank you for your honesty. Such honesty is hard to find in today's Christian world. I can't imagine your daily struggles. And the dreams that you once had. Please continue to share your heart. Your vulnerability helps me be vulnerable and transparent. Helps me be strong and courageous. I wholeheartedly believe that God will reward you openly one day - when you stand before him - for all the unseen, daily, mundane tasks that you must perform. I honor you for asking yourself those hard questions. We see dimly NOW, but one day we will see openly the rewards of heaven. Hold on to Jesus. Hold on very tight. He will be your exceedingly great reward. Thank you for your beautiful example. HUGS, Janell
