history. atmosphere. laughter. colonial days. sloca does history day... colonial style. i was fantastic! kids running every which way... all in colonial time period outfits. playing colonial childrens games. making colonial projects... owner sticks... candles... tin punches... cornhusk dolls. there was taste testing. a petting zoo. it was simply amazing.these top 10 things that have brought me encouragement & joy over the recent weeks. i am ever convinced that the reason that these images and thoughts have entered in and out of my mind are to be a source of happiess & hope for me when i get down. some of these wonderful things will always be there, but i know that some of these images are going to change. as the kids grow up, change is inevitable, but they will always be memories that we come screaming back to me. while i have been studying the psalms, i have been convicted & encouraged by the fact that even if i fail miserably, God doesn't use that as a way to determine the amount grace & mercy he bestows upon me. in fact, in my life, there seems to be so much grace, that i am overwhelmed by His greatness.) here we are.
