Confessions of a Peace Lover...
Well, now that I've enjoyed my day of peace and quiet it's back to the real world. I looked at the calendar and the next four weekends are chock full of people, conversation, entertainment and fun! After that the house will be rockin' again as the college year will end and the girls will move their things home. Our second grader announced today that there are 45 more days left in this school year. Unbelievable!
April 25th is an exciting day in Holmes County - the very first "Baby and Family Fair" will be held at the Holmes County Expo Center near Walnut Creek, Ohio, and Circle of Friends will be there! If you don't have the day marked on your calendar you really need to do that now (go do it, I'll wait...) It starts at 9, ends at 5, and will be filled with all kinds of information and hands on activities for parents and kids alike. Dr. Kevin Leman will be the main speaker. I can't wait! I've heard him speak before, he is funny, down to earth, and oh so wise. His books have been a mainstay in my life. In fact, I've purchased quite a few of them but don't have any of them on my bookshelf 'cause I keep giving them to friends to read!
Speaking of giving things to friends to read, I'd love to give you a One Year New Testament! If you don't have one and would like to add God's word to your daily "diet" come see me at the Circle of Friends table at the Baby and Family Fair. I am so excited about this project that I even convinced my boss to help underwrite it! (He is a wonderful man who has encouraged me in my Christian walk, so it really didn't take a whole lot to convince him.) Thanks to his generosity and the generosity of others we will have several hundred to give away! YEA!!! I think I may have mentioned a time or two (or three...) how much the One Year Bible reading plan has impacted my life. I honestly don't know how I would have handled some of the challenges in my life in the past 7 years without God's word hidden in my heart. Does it mean I get it right 100% of the time...no, I'm still oh so human! But it really has changed my life - the connection between our head and our heart is huge, and if we don't get God's Word in our heads how are we ever going to allow it to change our hearts?
One more thing about the Baby and Family Fair...parents may be tempted to come by themselves so they can take it all in, and I don't blame them, but I have a feeling you'll keep saying "oh, the kids would have loved this!" So don't hesitate to bring them along. It's only $5.00 for a whole family to get in. What a deal! Fran Mast and Summer Austin of Kids Collection have done an amazing job of planning this event. It is all about you! It's all about giving parents, grandparents - anyone who loves kids - resources, tools, and lots of great ideas to help them do the best job possible in this most important job ever.
See you there!
