We had a wonderful weekend in Grand Forks with Jon, Kelli, Bria, and Emmy! We did some shopping, played some games, watched some movies, and did some painting. Some of us even squeezed in some naps! We went to watch the girls skate, but it didn't last long because the ice wasn't very good due to warmer temps.
Tomorrow Jon will have carpal tunnel surgery on his right wrist that he broke in his fall in September. We're praying that this will relieve the nerve pain and numbness that has been getting worse instead of better. He was able to clear quite a bit of the down branches in the yard today...the snow is almost gone...quite a change!
Today is Greg's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GREG!!! The last one before the big 3-0!
Thought for the day
It's always essential that we trust God. Carpal tunnel surgery isn't always successful, but we're trusting Christ for a good outcome. There is always some apprehension with any surgery, but we're trusting Christ. Greg and Megan are traveling soon...we're trusting Christ for a safe trip. We have growing grandchildren...we're trusting Christ to watch over them and make them who He wants them to be. Trust isn't trust if it isn't applied to our day to day circumstances. What are you facing? Trust Christ.

Greg's Birthday
Today is Greg's birthday!!!!! Happy birthday, Greg...can't wait to see you get to Iowa!! No more 80's in March for you!!
Tomorrow will be a nasty weather day, but nothing like Kelli's family will see...blizzard, wind, snow, extreme cold. But it should be fine for the weekend and we are still planning on going there. We're very excited!! Tonight is Monday that means Chuck and 24...yay!!!! Today I got more thread so I can finish mending...maybe tomorrow night.
Thought for the day
I was reading in Acts this morning and in chapter 13 Paul and Barnabas are on their first missionary journey and Paul was preaching and speaks these words "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses." Great stuff...freed from ALL THINGS. Let's see what that would include...performance, selfishness, self-centeredness, pretty much all the "self" stuff. The seed of any sin or bondage lies in the "self" at its core. So through Jesus we are freed from "self". This is great news with regard to our sin, but that aside, it's really great news in regard to our self-centeredness...our preoccupation with ourselves. We worry more about "our stuff" than we do nearly anything else and we need to realize that Christ has set us free from that bondage. The thing we need to do is count on that provision of freedom and begin to step into it.
