Summer Snapshots

A Visit from the Radfords, Liz and cousin Rebecca, The Dykes Celebrate
This summer brought many pleasant visits with friends and family. We enjoyed a visit from our “old friends”, Bill and Tracy Radford. It was a great time of encouragement in the Lord as we shared our joys and struggles in issues of parenting and life. We joined family for a graduation open house for our niece, Rebecca. Some other “old friends” celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with a picnic. What a great time to reflect on the faithfulness of the Lord to us, and our children! Several of the children and I were blessed to spend a restful day with the Maggelet’s at Port Clinton. Caleb celebrated his 12th birthday with some buddies and an eclair cake. Michaela, too, celebrated her 14th birthday with a trip to the mall with big sister, Beth. Beth took her shopping, and to get her ears double pierced; what fun! Of course, summer wouldn’t be summer without swimming, concerts at the park and fireworks on the 4th! As I reflect on these events, I agree with Solomon when he wrote: Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward. ( Ecc 5:13). Also, I thank men like our son, Andrew, who serve to protect our country and the abundant blessings the Lords has given this land.
