March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

9-22-10 Wednesday

Routine slow day; aaahh, I like the sound of that. School, jobs, play. Levi was at Precision all day, coming home around 4:30 to do some studying. Jesse, for the first time in a long time, was home all day studying and working here. Nice. Very hot again. Walked here with Karol; she helped me pick up trash which was long overdue. Since I’m a wimp and don’t walk when it’s really hot, there was a lot of litter which annoys me immensely. Joshua had no fever, cough, or runny nose, but was still pretty fussy much of the day. Teeth, I guess. After supper, Dad and I walked while the kids played on the haybales – it was a beautiful evening and hard to pull everyone inside for baths and showers before Bibletime. We read in Proverbs 16 and talked a bit about pride before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. Several examples were offered and discussed. Many of us had thought that verse said pride goeth before a fall, but it doesn’t. And we weren’t sure what the difference is between pride and a haughty spirit. I don’t know that we came up with any conclusions on that, but we do know that God doesn’t want us to have either one and will help us overcome if we ask Him.

Then bedtime for all.
