My kids bless my life so much. Just wanted to share a couple fun photos!
James goes to sleep and nap time with his two Tiggers and his
one Curious George. It's very cute how he says, "Tigger me" if he
crawls into bed without his buddies!

way home from a family outing!
Psalm 34: 11 Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
One of the hazards of using public transportation is the chance of forgetting a bag of groceries in the taxi. I've always tried to keep track of how many bags I put in and take out of the taxi so I don't forget anything.
But yesterday, for the first time since we moved here, I did not do that. Probably because I was enjoying good conversation with Mikayla and the taxi driver! As I put groceries away I was thinking I was missing something.
Thankfully, the taxi driver came back to our house about 2 hours after he'd dropped Mikayla and I off and brought our forgotten bag of groceries to us! We were so blessed by his honesty and willingness to do that! That is not a common occurrence here.
I took Jerard to the neurosurgeon today for a checkup since his recent hospital stay.
The doctor strongly recommends that Jerard have a surgery soon due to the headaches that he is having and the half-paralysis on the left side of his body.
The surgery will install an additional drainage shunt into Jerard's brain which will relieve the high pressure on the right side of Jerard's brain. Without the shunt surgery, Jerard's prognosis is at best quite stunted and at worse a relatively short life.
We are looking at July 5 for the surgery to take place.
~Pray that Jerard stays healthy so he can have the surgery.
~Pray for the finances needed for this operation. All medical expenses here in the Philippines have to be paid in cash at the time of the service, unlike in the US where services can be rendered and paid for in the months that follow through insurance and payments.
Jerard, a few months ago, healthier and happier!
