Fall has arrived in full force and winter appears to be making an appearance with chilly temperatures. November has been "sick month" here in the Alexander home. Lucas started it, then Matt caught it and now I'm wearing it out. I will be SO thankful when we all are healthy again. But we've done our best to stay busy and truly enjoy time together as a sniffling and coughing family.
The Lord has truly shown his grace and mercy to us this month through Lucas. I was reading in Psalms the other day, and I heard the Lord speak that exact truth to me. We've been through some challenges lately, but God's faithfulness has been acted out every time Lucas obeys or listens to what we ask, or showers us with kisses (which he does often!). Today I sat in awe as Lucas gobbled up every last drop of Savannah gumbo I made last night, then asked for more prunes. (I'm expanding his fruit repertoire!) Just three weeks ago every bite was a battle of wills; my determination to get Lucas to eat anything other than carbs versus Lucas's determination to eat only carbs! God is good to us during the hard times and the happy times. He reminded me the other day that I need to always remember how good God has been to us in the past and recognize that He doesn't change.
If you live in Anderson, are going to visit Anderson, or live anywhere near here, check out the Koo Koo Ice Cream Depot! My friend Suzanne introduced me to this place yesterday and the kids has a blast there! It was super clean, had great prices, and a train table! You need to go there!
Well dishes need to be washed and I need a shower..... so it's time to get to work!
