In a time where there are so many things that are different, I'm thankful for the many things that have stayed the same. I'm thankful that the kids can continue schooling and that their activities have adjusted to allow them continue. While online lessons would not be my first choice, it has kept the rhythms to our day. These are not easy times. There is so much uncertainty. I am clinging to the security and hope that He brings and trusting that all things will work out for His good as He promises.
