Our friends have been out of town this week, and they offered to let us use their pool while they were on vacation.

God is with us through the storm and through the changes in plans. He knows we have what we need to face the challenges ahead.

Family…happy kids…warm chocolate chip cookies. Life doesn’t get much better than that.

Children grow fast. Time slips by faster every year. And pandemic time seems to be its own mystery.

What a full week!

I love miracles.

God looks at his children on Earth and knows precisely what we need. He sees who needs a little more rest, a little extra sunshine or a new opportunity – and he provides.

When I saw we had four bananas that were nearing the end of their time, I decided to make banana bread—and then actually followed through.

“If I walk through that door, and I don’t have Berger Cookies, I don’t know what will happen,” I joked.

We’ve been making slushies at home, learning golf, and enjoying other summer fun.
