continuing the days.......

• still Dec. 16--this night is Miss Sidney's Christmas concert
• at the church and although
• papa is not feeling well he wants to go.
• as he made a promise back when she started to practice
• and she is desperate for papa and oma to come---
• we go and we are able to enjoy the kids and their
• way of blessing parents and grandparents
• Doug - a professional photographer-- comes to us and
• says he would like to take some pictures of us
• and the grand kids=
• and n, this is not for money but for memories
• I know now that this is obedience to the Holy Spirit
• as we wanted to do this before but papa was too
• sick to make any plans
• Doug promises Miss Ashley that he will have the
• pictures ready for her and us by Christmas(he did too) and
• he tells papa that he can take some of the yellow out
• as David is quite concerned about the color
• we all go home and it is time for the kids to go
• to their home-
• it is a hard good bye although we did not know
• that they would not be staying again for a long time
• David calls his sister in law and tell her our news
• we dreaded this call as we know his brother
• will not take the news easily and just before Christmas
• Dec. 17 - we rest
• we are so tired that sleep does nothing for us
• we do not hear from either clinic and we
• are too tired to call........
• David's sister calls us and this is a surprise as
• she is not speaking to us and we do not know
• why because she has not spoken to us for over 3 years and
• will not answer any phone calls - sigh--
• this is just a bad habit she has--((note she really
• took good care of her brother after this phone call)
• but suddenly she has been put in shock as
• the sister- in - law has given her the news
• I can tell she is afraid that David will not talk
• to her but she does not know David or the Lord
• we do not hold grudges in our household
• he is glad to hear from her and they
• both talk and cry together
• we go to bed and pray for rest- sleep is only an option now
• I am sure that you can see that through all this we are still
• being blessed........
• ----------will continue --------soon
