A SPECIAL DAY AT THE SCHOOLHOUSE.

It was a special day at the farm today. It was sunny and beautiful, in the middle of January... but it was also the last day for a couple of our little ones at the schoolhouse who are moving away. Indy and I got to join in and be part of a sweet gathering to send them off.

"Papa", you have a housefull! Thank you for reminding me that life can be so joyful and precious; even while we still feel such deep sorrow and loss. Both are part of this ol'e, earthly life, but Heaven is our promised eternity.(Thank you Jesus) I think of your family often and I pray that your joys will be too many to measure, and your loss will be comforted by Our Savior. I see your little Indie, as your mini-me, with her mother's joyful, easy-going spirit. She is one of those sweeties that you just want to squeeze and feel some of that precious joy! Thank you for sharing her with us! God Bless You.
