Ecclesiastes 4:3 says there is a time to mourn, a time to laugh and a time to dance. Care to join me in a happy dance?
I don't know if words can convey my relief. I bought my daughter socks tonight. Put gas in the car. Let my children celebrate with sundaes - and I didn't pay in change.

My children and I have bonds of super glue and a solid foundation beneath us. Everything's gonna be alright.
I am so grateful for your prayers; they are never wasted on my children.
I Praise You Jesus,
