Abby update - May 26

Today was one of those days when we needed more than one set of Linams. First, there was a 4-H horticulture show in San Antonio. Then a church friend needed some help moving in New Braunfels. Then there was a graduation party in Wimberley. Then friends had invited us to share a cook-out in New Braunfels. Then the 4-H Club put together an impromptu barbecue sale in Wimberley... I hate days like this--all of these people and events are dear to us (and many of them have been very good to us in the past few months), but I think I am also finally gaining some wisdom that "you can't do everything." So, we opted for the New Braunfels options--helping our friend move and enjoying some hamburgers with good friends afterwards.

I'm glad we did. I'd like to say that these days I'm trying to prioritize our lives based on the model of Christ-like giving that we received in the last eight months. Sometimes that sounds simpler than it seems to be in practice, and on a day-to-day basis, in the flurry of competing activities, I'm not sure I always get the order of things right; however, today, as I saw my kids carrying furniture, unpacking boxes, washing dishes, connecting cables for electronics (Frank's specialty!), etc., at least I'm satisfied with the choices we made...(but sorry to those that we missed!). It was a blessing to see Christ-likeness in my children--and today was a day I needed to see that simple, child-like faith was a blessing.

May you find Guidance for your steps as well...
