Day Ninety-four

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."  1 Chronicles 16:34

Today was a pretty good day for Ryan.  His mood deteriorated at the end of the day, but he had a long day and not a lot of food by that time.  One day at a time, one meal at a time, etc.

We went to the early service and arrived on ELT.  About half-way through Emma was asleep and snoring like her mother. :)  It was a good service with a good message.  I had referenced a story from that message a week or so ago in the blog, so it was fresh in my mind.

After the service, I took a nap and the others ran by subway to get Ryan's favorite food (ham and grated cheese sandwich).  Afterward, we got ready for the Starlight Children's Foundation Event at Soccer Zone.  The kids played soccer, jumped in the bounce houses, ate pizza, drank slushies, and engineered shelters so that eggs dropped from a ladder wouldn't break (Both Ryan's and Davianna's eggs didn't break!).









The egg dropping contest was the highlight of the afternoon, as the kids were very creative in building a protection barrier for the drop.  Emma just liked taking eggs and breaking them, which she did twice.   It was a good event and a good day.

Mirjan made some super-duper, homemade mac-n-cheese to supplement the pizza and slushies.  Then she pulled some cookies out of the freezer that Kenda had dropped off several days ago....yummm!

Father, thank you for blessing us with a good day!  Thank you for Great Escapes and all the volunteers who donated their time to bring smiles on the faces of the children.  Thank you for time today that we were able to share with one another.  I ask that you continue to comfort, strengthen, and heal my little boy.  In Jesus' name I pray.  Amen.
