Sunday School lessons and a blessing!

Today on the way home from church, the girls were telling me about what they had learned in Sunday school. Adelle said, “Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the special special fruit after He told them not to. That makes God sad. You know what else makes God sad?” Thinking I’m going to hear some great childlike wisdom, I eagerly said, “No Adelle, what else makes God sad?” Her reply was, “When our parents disobey us.” Okay then! I will be working on that in the future!
I got an awesome blessing after church today. Some friends of ours told me that they wanted to help out with the cost of my mission trip, and handed me a check to put towards it. God is good!!! The only stipulation is that they want to see a picture of a little African baby wearing a Red Sox hat. Be on the lookout for that pic, Mark and Melissa! I am now looking at a remaining balance that I can definitely handle on my own if nothing else comes in. Praise the Lord!!! We watched a video of the babies during church today and it really got me excited about seeing them. Only 3 more weeks!! Please be praying that I will be prepared to go. I’m hearing from a lot of people that have been there that it is a very emotionally draining trip. To be honest, I have no idea how I’m going to leave them there when I come home!
