First day back to school

Vince teaching Abby & Gracie their art lesson

They had to draw a butterfly using only their mouth

Our challah bread cover that Abby & Gracie painted for our Sabbath meal.

This year we are learning about Jewish feasts and celebrating Jewish holidays.

Today Vince and I had our appointment at the travel clinic.  We got all of our vaccines and are ready for travel!  I am so thankful for our health.  I feel like we take for granted how easy it is here in the US to get the medical treatment we need.  How often do we overlook this?  My heart is in Ethiopia; thinking about what Yonas and Yosef are going through.  How have they had to suffer?  I pray that God would continue to give me a desire to help those in need.  I pray that He open my eyes to the world around me.  This life I live is not about me.  How can I be used to glorify the Lord today?
