Over already?

I cant believe how fast the weekend went! The temp was finally in the 30's so we did spend some much needed time outside playing in the snow. We got all ready to go walking in the woods this morning but never actually made it out the door! We were too busy chasing each other and wrestling around playing! Kristian had a ton of homework and reading to do so today I helped him read the diary of Anne Frank. After each journal entry he had to write a paragraph to sum it up. I don't know that I had ever read that book, although I knew "about" Anne Frank. Such sad and scary times she as a young girl had to endure, yet she was so wise for her years. This paragraph stuck out to me the most. " The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or un-happy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certianly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles." Anne Frank 2/23/1944 Tonight we attended a benefit for a 7 month old little guy from Hasting that has cancer. I helped to sell tickets for it without much success, so I was so pleased at the turnout. Lots of people donated auction items and food items for the bake sale. Many people came out to support this family, that made me so happy! I hope they felt the love! I am so thankful for good health in my family, I know that could change at any moment. Today is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! We never know what tomorrow holds... Be thankful for the here and now! I have to go tend to the little one on the potty.... "mommy, come wipe me!"
