Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Our Evening

We thankfully enjoyed a quite evening last night!!

We were able to bring David's dad, Darryl, home from the hospital yesterday; and after a small scare and a quick trip to the doctors, we are happy to say he is doing well.

Here you see Caleb schooling him in the game of Stratego!!

Actually it was only Darryl's 2nd game and Caleb, in true Jordan form, did not go easy on his poor, recovering grandpa!! It took a while, but I think the Jordan competitiveness is becoming more and more ingrained in our youngest son's mind--I guess it has served most of the rest of us well!!!

So watch out world---when this one gets it, I have a feeling he will be a hard one to stop!!!

Probably the most fun of the evening was watching David, Hannah and Great Grandma Mae do a puzzle!

So can you teach a 90 year old woman how to do a puzzle, when she has spent most of her life avoiding them because she does not like them?

Yes, you get her sweet, cute, 6 year old great grand-daughter to sweetly ask her!!

Well I know why she does not like them, she does not get them! Seriously she can not figure out how to match the pieces up. This from a woman who paint beautifully!!!

So David was showing extreme patience helping her to find the pieces and hinting on where they go.

Then Hannah would jump in and show her what to do. It was fun watching my youngest daughter who struggles so much with learning to get a chance to 'teach'. Maybe she will be a teacher some day! She will definitely be able to empathize with the child with learning delays.
