Yesterday

We had the g'daughter's birthday party yesterday. We kept putting it off hoping things would change soon and they haven't that much. So, even though we'd had our celebration with her and given her her presents we decided it wasn't fair to make her wait longer for her party.
The excitement and the heat triggered a small attack, nothing major, for that I am eternally thankful.
It's really strange seeing some of the kids we haven't seen since school got out. It's like all of a sudden they decided to "grow" up. In years past they didn't change too much through the summer break except to get taller. Now, they're beginning to look like young men and women. Such monumental changes! G'daughter is the tallest in her class so far. A couple of the girls and one or two boys aren't far behind, though.
I think she's going to be tall, too. She's always said she wanted to be about six foot, with reddish hair and yellow eyes! If she keeps growing at the rate she has the last couple of years, she's got the six foot part down, no problem. Her hair is sort of strawberry blond, so that might happen - but I don't know about the eyes. Course, she could always get contacts!
We've had a tough summer this year and still have more challenges to come. Through it all, even having missed church for so long, I cling to God's promises.
Hope you all have a great week and God bless.
