Three days this past week the weather was beautiful, the sun was shining, it was in the 80's and we wore shorts, skirts, tanktops and took walks to the park and stores. These past couple days winter showed up again. It's so crazy... I wore my jeans and puffy vest... although I did wear flip flops with it in hopes of warmer whether... but seriously I live in Chicago... it'll be like this for a while. My Indonesian blood can't handle it much right now.
Yesterday I was showered with love and gifts from so many brothers and sisters at my church!!! In welcoming me back home, my Chicago mom, LM, put together a housewarming shower and I even got to register for the things that I need and want. She told me I should dream a little...
P and I, knowing that we were going overseas when we got married, didn't really register for much. People gave us couches, we got hand me down dishes, and just filled up our house with a few things that we needed. When A came along, the women at Bethel had a great idea to get us clothes til A was 4. People with certain letter last names were assigned a certain age. So when it came time for us to leave, we really didn't have anything to store except for personal things.
I am really so thankful for the love that people have for us. I am so thankful that people are willing to help us out as we set up a new house. Thank you so much!!!
In scripture it tells people to take of the widows and the fatherless... I am so thankful that my brothers and sisters are taking that seriously!!! Because of all of you, my winter days are bearable and I know that soon summer will come!! :)
