Additions to the Family

We have gone from a household of four adults to five adults and a 6 year old. Yes, Stephanie and Kara are back in the house and have caused us to get out of our ruts. In one way that is a good thing, and in another way, I was happy in my rut!

The good thing is that I happen to love those two girls very much and am glad to see them daily. The not so good thing is that there are now five women under one roof. Yikes!!! Poor Harry?

The living room has been a bedroom several times during the course of our living here, and once again it is a bedroom/living room. I do thank the Lord that the room is very large and long and can be divided somewhat. I am also very thankful that the supply from the Lord is never ending and rich. He gives me His wisdom in dealing with life's changes.

Anyway, while it was summer, there was no hurry to go to bed, etc, but with school starting next Monday, I have a feeling we will all be "punished" to our rooms so Kara can get to sleep at a decent time.

Stephanie is applying for jobs and looking for an affordable apartment in the school district she wants, so the "plan" is not for an extended stay here. The Lord knows what we all need is for all of us to call on His name!

Today, we spent the day rearranging the living room/dining room. It doesn't look too bad. We have been able to find a place for everything and everyone, ha ha.

Phil and Donna are empty-nesters and Mike and Sally are empty-nesters. My hatchlings keep returning to the nest...I've decided to enjoy the moment and count my many blessings.

Good night dear family where ever you are. May the Lord bless you all with His mercy and grace, amen.
