WORDS TO LIVE BY

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that it is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever. - Ephesians 3:20-21

WORKING, LEARNING AND PLAYING TOGETHER

We were at my sister's again this morning playing games and reading books - and learning.

This evening our usual Wednesday evening activities resumed. Usually we go to church for dinner, then the kids go to their classes, adults to prayer and praise service. After that there is choir practice for those of us in the choir. I usually help in the pre-k/k classroom but this evening the teacher wasn't able to be there so I taught. There were three children and we had a good time together. Since I didn't know until I was almost ready to leave that I was teaching I didn't really have time to prepare so we kept it simple. We talked about the lesson, watched a DVD related to the lesson theme, drew picture and had a snack.

FURRY, FEATHERED AND FOUR FOOTED FRIENDS

We are in the middle of a cold snap here with temperatures in the single digits and the wind chill below zero. This afternoon Austin and Mykalin took extra hay to some of the animals so they could stay warmer tonight. When they went to get the hay they saw the animal we think is a coyote. It was in the barn but ran off when it saw them. We've seen it before a few times, always alone. It has an injured front leg but can still move pretty fast when frightened.
