4L4LOVE

Day 1 Starting on the first day of the week which is Sunday the 30th. It was a busy but blessed day. So much to be thankful for. In the morning after our devotionals and family worship time we went to a miniature railway city, very cute: In the afternoon there was a fair going on in the park close to our house so there we went, there was a bouncing thing and the kids were having fun As I stood by a lady came and gave me a leaflet and I read the words: I turned to read what it said in the other side of the paper and I read: Wow!! For 3 months we were looking for a church close to our house and here's one 2 blocks from us!!! God is good! I said to the lady: - I'm a seventh day Adventist!  So she introduced us to the church family and what a blessing!!! I met Ana, a Portuguese stay at home and homeschool mom and I was very excited!! She has 2 girls older than my kids but are adorable and love to play with Logan and Larissa!  Day 2 In Portuguese we call Monday- Second day or Segund

This week we are talking about Joseph and his brothers an the character quality for this week is Unselfishness; interestedly enough my children were very but very selfish with each other this same week!! Tests and tribulations we all must go thru to be refined by the Refiner's Fire!!   Larissa's pretty drawing: And Logan's creative one: Beautiful verse for today:  Now Larissa's one Got this from Ana: The "Ladder of Life" series is a must have  And I have the songs so we can hear it And I can't forget 4th of July, they should remember their home country!!

Today when Luke came home for lunch I took a deserved break and went for a walk in the quietness of the country! What peace we often forsake is found in nature.  As I breathed and walked my mind was resting and refreshing from my children's  sweet little voices of demanding and the duties of a housewife.  On my way back as I was crossing a very slow road something called my attention, it was a baby rabbit laying on the side of the road and it seemed was hit by a car.  After 10 minutes of trying to manage to grab the hopeless creature, my hands are really not delicate at all, and I definitely could not be a doctor or a veterinary, I earnestly asked God for help and the verse: "For The Lord God will help you.."(Isaiah 50:7) came to my mind. Looking at that poor and hurting creature and wanting so much to help him and do something for it, I that am just a sinful person and full of bad habits, I that am just a person couldn't help to see
