Light No. 40

This week has had an interesting juxtaposition of highs and lows.  

Highs: 

Christian's birthday, having friends and cousins over, first snow, beautiful fall colors, getting the house cleaned up, listening to General Conference and spending time at my parents' home.  

It was a great weekend, celebrating Christian's baptism with family and friends.  It was a very sweet service and we are so very proud of Christian and his choice to become an official member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

A few hours before the baptism we were involved in a scary car accident that shook us up and makes me so grateful that we are watched over and protected the way that we are.  It could have been so much worse.  There are so many tender mercies involved I cannot doubt Heavenly Father preserving us and watching over us even in the very moment that we crashed.  It is going to take some time to sort through everything and get my body back to active pain free condition but I'm thankful that I am ok, that all of my children are safe, and that Kurt wasn't hurt. 

Low points: 

The van that I love is crashed.  Savanna strained her neck.  My body hurts.  All of this is expensive.  I know it's silly but I'm sad about the van, and I'm sad about my back and neck.  I'm already driving myself crazy not being able to move around and do all that I need to do.  And it's only day 2. 

Sailing on,
