This evening we had a movie night at our house for the youth. Daniel is the perfect host. He runs to greet every person with a loud, "Ciao" (chow). I made TONS of popcorn and caramel corn. It turned out way too tasty, even I could not stop eating it and I am not usually a fan of caramel corn.
This last week I have been thinking a lot about raising my children. I sometimes get so worried about this, wondering how I am going to raise godly children in this corrupt world. I sometimes wonder what business I have even bringing children into such a world. I sometimes grow sad, and my head aches with all these hopeless thoughts. Yet, God is faithful. And I MUST be praying hard now for the people my children are becoming and for the world they are growing up in.
As Daniel seems to have an attack of the "terrible twos" it feels like I have a miniature teenager who says NO to everything.
Potty training is proceeding quite well. I realized that I was the one who wasn't ready. Daniel was having dry diapers at night and in the process of taking it off he would go in the diaper. I realized that I needed to take a stand and say goodbye to the diapers. So since Tuesday the diapers have become history for our little man. He is doing quite well, and tends to have accidents only when he is too busy to take a potty break.
I am so thankful for houseplants. They add a bit of life and breath to an otherwise cold world. I have a lot of houseplants. I never used to know how easy they are to raise and how expensive they are too buy. I also LOVE herbs, and have a whole windowsill of various herbs. It makes me feel like a fine chef to have fresh herbs always at my fingertips.
So there are my musings on Friday night in Latvia.
