Actually the offical date is tomorrow, but today we're doing all the things we would have been doing the day of the fire. Last Night we went to cousin Logan's B-day party. (Which is where we sent the boys while we dealt with the fire.) We got up this morning and ate breakfastat home. (That's what we were fixing when the fire started.) We've spent the rest of the day hanging out at the house. (Which is what we planned on doing that day.) I thought today would be a lot harder. That I would feel the loss more. I worried that the boys would struggle with their memories of that day. But I'm glad to report that it has been a pretty uneventful day. Big Guy wasn't sure he wanted to go to Logan's party because he was afraid that he might "freak out over the candles on the cake like he did last year." Jon & I both tensed up at the sound of the sasuage sizzling in the pan this morning. But all in all the day has been filled with just the normal routines of life. I'm so thankful for that. God has been so faithful to us from the second the fire started to the second that I typed the previous word. I have learned so much in the last year. So many things that I thought I knew about God are so much more real to me. I hope to share more thoughts in the next few posts. I have a few posts that have been rattling around in my head & there is no way to fit all those things in one post. So for now I will leave you with a song that has really ministered to my family over the last year.
