Time Flies!
Wow, I guess it has been a while since I posted. Blame it on my company. I had a very dear friend (Queen Willy) visiting me at the end of September/beginning of October. Then a few weeks later, my parents have arrived for a visit as well, and are currently with me even as I type. I don't even want to think about when they are leaving (sniff)!

It is at times like these that I wish I had the gifts and abilities for writing and chronicling my life's events like Queen Willy. So much has happened or been experienced in the last little while, but I don't have the time or patience to do more than write about the highlights of it.

First of all, thanks to Sora, I have re-visted the Writing Road to Reading and am seeing a dramatic improvement in the spelling/composition skills of my offspring.

My really, really, really big news is the fact that, Lord willing, all my children will be baptized on the Lord's Day, October 26, and I will finally be a communicant member of my church and able to feast upon the Lord at His Table for the first time in about 10 years. I have longed for this day for so long and now that it is here, I can hardly take it all in. This week is being spent in preparing for the Table during private worship time and it has proven to be a time of great enjoyment. I am thrilled beyond measure over the fact that my parents will be here to see their grandchildren added to the membership of the visible church as well.

Speaking of my parents, it has been such a blessing to have them here. I always thought I had very good parents, but I have realized afresh what a blessing it is to have parents who know and love the Lord. Sharing one's life takes on a new depth when you can share not only the details of everyday life, but the deeper levels of faith in Christ, and know it is known, understood, and shared. God has been so merciful to me in this regard and I cannot praise and thank Him enough.
