Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

Friends Doing Well

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. --- Romans 8:28

This verse means more to me and gives me more comfort of late than almost any other verse in the Bible. It gives me such peace to know that no matter what gets thrown at me, God will bring me through it in a way that glorifies Him and that benefits all involved. This week the above verse doesn’t apply to me, though; it applies to two of my homeschooling friends. Both had major surgery and both are doing well. To my knowledge, the prognosis for each is better than anticipated. Once again, I have been shown that God is great and greatly to be praised.
