Love is patient

Love is patient and kind;
Love does not envy or boast;
It is not arrogant or rude.

Love does not insist on its own way;
It is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrong-doing,
but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never ends. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (ESV)

Love received a little more focus in this household this week
with Dad bringing lovely red roses for Mom (with a few for me too :) so sweet!

And we had ample opportunity to work on showing real love
with a houseful of kids!

Being so tired etc doesn't lend to being patient,
(sorry kids for those irritable times) so I was thankful for added strength and for R&S's good parenting! It sure showed and made our week looking after your children quite enjoyable!
They are sweethearts - even (or especially) boofy Daniel :) what a smart little guy!
Actually we were pleasantly surprised as to how obedient he was - much of the time.

The snow storm provided great fun opportunities for them
and Josh - nice to have him for a day too!

Thanks C&M for taking Timmy then! He sure had fun with Kenny!
Thanks for the privelege of having your kids for a week, R&S! Glad you could go to the conference.

Now hopefully we have a few days to recupe and prepare for the next group, Betty! :)
