Tucker spent the night last night to kick off his fall break. It was so fun to have him here!!  🙂

And while I celebrate everything that God has done in his life, there are times when I can worry - about his next heart surgery (mostly that he will be scared). Then I start to worry about Clara, Linc, Bonnie and Graham. When four of your grandkids live in the Philippines, it is not helpful to start thinking about all the potential things that could happen to them, and how I have no control of any of it! 🙂

I bought the sign that Tucker is holding a few weeks ago, and is sitting in a place where I see it every time I come into the house. It is a great reminder to me that nothing is a surprise to God and that He is in control. We can get so caught up in the temporary things of this life. I am so thankful for the "blessed assurance" we have in God - even when we may not understand His plan!!

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
