Handfuls of Blessings

I know.  You are thinking...this is only March.  Who graduates in March? Daniel, Abigail, Shae-Lynn and Shiloh singing a special Being missionaries, one thing you learn is adaptability.  We are good friends with another missionary family here whose kids have grown up with ours.  They are leaving for furlough next month, but wanted to have a graduation party for their graduating son before they left.  We have two graduating, also, so we combined everything into just one party.

(1 Samuel 30:24) Keith leaving early in the morning for a village Besides the curtains, covers, and other things I have sewn, there is the weekly work I have for this ministry.  Yes, the biggest part is laundry.  But it needs to be done, right?  Praise the Lord for a washing machine and very long clothes lines.
