We try to get the kids to help because they need some responsibility. They complain most of the time but yesterday they were singing VBS songs. Hope you are having a good home assignment!Mommy Missionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181846130612614265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089327819503850774.post-17140005858135236112009-07-29T23:26:42.631+09:002009-07-29T23:26:42.631+09:00Well first of all, I'm jealous of their garden...Well first of all, I'm jealous of their garden space! It's so great they can grow so much of their own produce and, I'm sure, share it with neighbors!<br /><br />Thank you for this reminder of God's work in us. He's so faithful to continue refining our hearts and directing our lives towards his likeness - even when we protest. It's amazing how we come to appreciate the weeds as nice companions in life and seem miffed that God has uprooted them. Perhaps that lends to a need to grow along side others who are lovingly planted and cared for by the same gardener?<br /><br />Thanks for you words Shan, I can't wait to see you!
