Perfect reds and yellows all gathered into bags and boxes...
Today we were given bags and bags of lovely apples by a complete stranger! Recently, Todd had stopped at a nearby farm to ask permission to hunt. The elderly lady of the place did not permit hunters, but said we were welcome to have some apples instead. So, today we brought a few buckets and a box to her farm, and she not only loaded those full but insisted we take more.
I just learned about another family's tradition to have a 'gratefulness box' where they wrote on slips of paper about little or big gifts to thank the Lord for. On Thanksgiving, the box was opened and the gifts were all read aloud. I want to start that tradition in our little family...
'Thank you, Lord for the beautiful apples'!

It has been GREAT to be home for the weekend! I am trying not to think about the fact that I will be leaving again on Monday. Maybe I'll drive home on Wednesday just for the night, so I don't have to stay away the entire week.
Elijah's treatments are going well - we have done four so far. He wears a little bubble over his head in the oxygen chamber and looks like a very short astronaut. He doesn't really like wearing his bubble, i.e. he cries for a large part of the 90 minutes we're in the chamber. The doctor told us that we probably will not see any effects until we complete at least twenty treatments.
Father, You are sovereign, and YOU decide the outcome of each life, and whether it seem good or bad to us...you can be trusted.
