Great day today.

Long day too. But blessings in every corner. I need to start carrying my phone again. I don't use it as a phone. But I can take pics with it. Been saying for mths I need to do that though. 

   Took care of animals and got children ready for church. Forgot to get Patrick and I something to eat though. Oops. 

   Church was awesome. Zach's dad and several siblings made it to church. So we had a big prayer time for them. And then another prayer time for many other issues. With a little preaching in between. It was a great blessing. No one is going thru as much as Zach's family right now. Makes my heart ache. He moved out of the ICU today. Again. Praying it only gets better from here and he regains his weight, strength and mobility. Guillen barre is a nasty thing. And is terrifying. Watching this makes other issues seem so small. But they aren't too small to pray about. Church was just so encouraging. Wish I had been warned to bring more tissues. ;)  our God is mighty. And he cares for us. Hallelujah. 

    We also got to get hugs from some very special people I love. They are missionaries in Ecuador. I miss them so much. She is wonderful. And her wisdom and grace amazes me. She is gifted. And is someone I pray is blessed as much as she has blessed. A great woman to look up too. She points it all back to The Lord. She was only here for a week with her husband. But we saw them twice. I am grateful! 

    Then we met up with a dear sweet couple we call Uncle and Aunt. They are neighbors (yes they moved to Tennessee. BUT they still count as neighbors for us. Their house is still here and we love them too greatly not to call them neighbors... Rabbit trail...oops.)  anyways they are neighbors great uncle and aunt. And the drove in just to see us today. They are so sweet and we were so blessed to see them. So giving. She retired many years ago. Yet still works 50 hrs a week doing home health. They are a feisty couple. Married nearly forever. So wonderful. Wish you all could met them and get a hug from them. No one could not like them. No one. 

    From there we headed out to a birthday party. It was originally supposed to be a girl party. Then grew to be lots of families. It was so fun. We saw friends we rarely get to see. They had games. 3 headed race. ( like the three legged race. Only with 3 people. ) apple bobbing, wheelbarrow races, and more. Chili feed and western was the theme. So the night ended with a nice hay rack ride. 

   But once we got home our motion sick girl, Lil,  got sick. And our Judah had a fever. So we canceled our going outta town plans for tomorrow. Which is a bummer. But Mondays don't seem to be the best day of the week anyways. Plus friends are. Coming out to get the horses tomorrow also. So house cleaning, school and friends tomorrow. Maybe even some sewing. I need to get sewing done...

  Full full day. But so nice. Felt like a blessing allll day. Long. Thanks to Jesus who planned our footsteps.
