... nothing earth shattering...

2 days of "home schooling" have gone by... I think it is working pretty well... yes it is boring, but stuff gets done... the goal, be done with this Semester Dec 14.... wow. we will see.
volunteer work set up for her... a whole day in the Kindergarten classroom at the Christian School each week.. wonderful.. making a difference, ( the theme this year...) so happy she can be back there a bit again this semester.. such a great place.
looks like life just continues to go on... no big lessons, no big lows or highs... each day a full array of choices, overwhelming sometimes.. annoying other times.. and then there are the heartbreaking moments.. but also the little joys..
and then, we are so blessed, we do not have to worry about where our next meal will come from, or if we can find shelter in the night.. we don't have to watch our step so as not to step on a land mine and lose our life,  our children are not forced into sex slavery and we have not been raped in front of them... our houses burnt down and everything taken from us.
I'd say, we have so many reasons to be content and thankful. after all  our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
there are people that do not believe that there is an eternity and they are flippantly dismissing my faith... there are those that like the fantasy that God is love and that everyone is going to be allowed to spent eternity with Him... well, we all will see, right?
I need to fix my eyes on Jesus, because I know that this is the truth... all who believe in Him and that He paid for our sins will have life everlasting... that's what I am going for... :)
