Day One Hundred Forty-nine

"Fear not, for I am with you, do not be dismayed for I am the Lord your God, and I will give you help and strength. I will hold you by my righteous hand."  Isaiah 41:13

Well, I'll remember today through Mirjan's pictures, since I left for work before everyone was up and got home about 10pm and they were in bed.  They weren't quite asleep, so they all gave me big hugs and sweet kisses.  Emma got excited and did her happy feet dance.  I missed spending the regular time with them the past week.  I saw this note on the table, which made me smile.  His handwriting got really good over the past day. 

Mirjan and the kids went to a Great Escapes event, which was to start at 12:45.  At 2:00, Mirjan called me and asked me for the address again.  Wow!  That really is ELT. :)  She and the kids were walking downtown trying to find the address, so I'm sure that was fun.  Once she got there, the coordinator said others had a hard time finding it as well.

I love this picture of Ryan.  The picture of "cool." 

I'm sorry that I missed it, because they look like they had a wonderful time.  I'm glad that they could enjoy the day!  Sometime in the evening I was checking to see if they were watching tv by pausing and rewinding the tv from my cell phone.  Pretty cool technology.  I guess they were because within a minute, Mirjan called me.  :)

Father, thank you for blessing the children and Mirjan with a good day.  I thank you for blessing me with a wonderful family, and each day I'm so grateful for the kids and Mirjan.  Thank for wonderful organizations and volunteers that touch our hearts.  I ask that you continue to strengthen Ryan's body and lift his spirits.  Father, please continue to heal my little boy.  In Jesus' name I pray.  Amen.
