Rest Day

Yesterday was one of the best day's of rest we have had in months. We try to take every Monday off as a free day/family day. This means, the church knows we are basically not available that day, phones are turned off, and we try to get refreshed and ready for the new week ahead.

Yesterday, we left around 9am, packed a picnic and headed out. The weather was beautiful (low 70's)!! We started out at a local farm showing the kids all of the baby animals born recently, sheep, horses, pigs, rabbits, etc. Then we went to a nearby lake and let the kids ride their bikes on the bike path. We chose a spot along the way and had a picnic lunch next to the water. We put the kids down for naps on the blanket and we talked and prayed while they slept. On the way home, we even stopped off at a park to play! After the kids went to sleep we watched a movie, prayed some more and went to sleep. It was a great day.

We feel refreshed and ready to start the week! Praise the Lord!
