Really sitting with what you said about parenting being a way to touch the eternal. Grateful to get a glimpse of it through your eyes. Thinking of yall ❤️
Such heavy thoughts that are good for us to hear. Dane and I are participating in a Lenten group of 7 people, 3 of whom are 20-30ish. They are struggling with how to pray in the midst of this war. Last week the question of what does God control came up. The view ranged from everything, to allowing everything, to trusting us with choices. Last week the struggle was what can we do? They are carrying maybe for the first time the weight of this war even without living there. Somehow just living our “normal” lives doesn’t feel right.
I love Ben’s story from Normandy. Somehow we need to do the same- bandage each other’s wounds even if we are not in the middle of the actual battle. We are in a different kind of battle here, a battle of somehow trusting God as it feels like things are out of control.
I’m hopeful Annie still makes it in, but love for you may keep her here. Even though I don’t know her very well I am still super proud of her and Sam. You and Ben have done an amazing job with your kids.
Praying relief from migraines. Dane’s mom used to take Benadryl for them and it seemed to help. You continue to bandage the wounds in spite of them.
