– Perhaps my fav thing on FB this week, thank you SCS
– April Fools (and the girls\’ completely different responses)
– Mom\’s advice – \”First make the decision that\’s best (regardless of finances), and then watch the Lord provide\”
– I sent Hud to drop some things at Goodwill, asked Esther if she wanted to ride along, and you thought I\’d given her the best gift ever. That girl was so happy just to get out of the house!
– I have loved this little trail so much since we moved, but now even more so. Sometimes for a 10-minute walk and sometimes an hour. Peace-giving

| \”I just don\’t know if I\’m going to ever be able to love my husband as much as I love my dogs\” |
– Hud\’s night for dinner – poppy seed chicken and veggies. This has been one of my very fav things about our time at home, each kid taking a night for meals. This week Basden did taco salad, Essie made frito pie
– The flexibility of working from home right now
– Visit with Jeff and Krista on the porch – 6 feet apart
– Corbin cutting Basden\’s hair – that he\’s done this all these years
– Basden coloring my hair – she did amazing!! And thank you Madison Reed for making it so simple
– Basden happy to be on zoom with some of her teachers, she is missing them
– The \”teacher-directed online school\” that SCS has implemented so quickly, so well. Provides structure and learning but still offering flexibility during this crazy pandemic. Really touched by our teachers and their dedication, our administration making difficult choices in such a loving way
– Jackbox games on tv last night. Hudson stupified when we didn\’t pick his answers
– Essie\’s tik tok about Corbin and his generic groceries
– Friday mornings
– Every single day – Corona aside – the opportunity and CHOICE to believe God for who He is and what He will bring about. Expecting, believing
– More signs of spring- landscape changing by the day

| this one might be my fav, it looks like this year-round, because it\’s totally fake |
– Again, the humor. People are so stinking creative
 |
| \”The last day of March\” was literally on my gratitude list this week |
– Zoom – not the real thing, but sure is a great vehicle for community during this quarantine
-The USS Comfort in NY harbor; Docs and nurses and healthcare providers risking infection AND serving their patients like family, as so many are not able to see their own families; the helpers, the workers, the many people who aren\’t getting a rest during this time of quarantine
– Randy H. and Tommy S. both sent HOME from their Covid hospital stays, recovering with their families, thank you Lord
– I have received so much comfort and encouragement in watching my friends and people handle this pandemic. Loving their families, putting one foot in front of the other; faithful faith even with questions and unknown; humor and laughter even with fear and sadness; creativity and energy forced in different directions as we\’ve never parented like this, never navigated life like this; quiet to complain even with so much instability. There are SO MANY PEOPLE I admire that don\’t even realize the impact they\’re having on my life and others, simply just doing the next right thing.
– John Krasinski\’s \”Some Good News\”
– Life simplified. Fewer decisions I\’m having to make during this quarantine – whether or not to attend a meeting / event, whether or not to spend $$, shopping (grocery and otherwise), hosting friends or events, whether to cook or eat out, what clothes to wear (I have more than enough pjs to choose from ). It\’s like vacation living from the standpoint of clothes and meals. My brain is so enjoying this rest in decision making
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles… 1 Chronicles 16:11-12
