Dear family and friends
Today we picked Grayson up at 10:00 and went off to our now familiar local Lutheran church. Grayson had a good morning – singing hymns and reading along with the responses. It's amazing how those memory paths of song and verse that get walked over and over as we grow up, provide such a familiar place to return in times of stress. It was another warm welcome with our other church family.
After church we went to lunch. After several weeks of sushi, we decided it was time for something different – a hamburger and a root beer float at A&W. Not exactly health food, but it was a fun change of pace. Grayson hasn't had fast food since November, so this was probably was a big deal for him!
After lunch, we went to a delightful new park replete with two small lakes connected by a stream (all man-made of course). We walked around for about 90 minutes. It was so great to soak up the sunshine and be outdoors. It was also great to get Grayson moving! Here is a picture of Grayson and Regina pausing for a minute by the lake.
We returned to the residence, and Grayson took us to the rec center to see the karaoke machine. We played with it for a bit, and he sang several songs (the Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin) before he just ran out of gas. We bid our farewell and hit the road for home as he was ready to crash for a nap.
A nice day and a nice weekend. God was good to us today!
Pax!

Hi Brant and Regina:
ReplyDeleteThose familiar paths of praise and worship, and the fellowship of fellow saints are just wonderful, and lead us to the foot of the cross and a humble realization that He is our God and we are His kids, and everything seems to fall into its proper place.
I loved the picture--it touched my heart.
In Him,
Doug
What an awesome picture.
