I guess if you look closely, there are little tender mercies that come along with trials. First of all, we arent torn apart about it all. In fact, we have to laugh that so many trials hit us so close together. We have good friends who have offered to help us with money, others who are feeding us, we get a brand NEW fridge. A missionary couple is packing to go home on Friday and they offered us first dibs on what they are leaving behind. Among the things being left behind are an electronic keyboard (that I can keep in our apartment) and a piano student.
I have three piano students now, and could have about ten more if I had the time. The carrot is that if the students show real interest and progress, they get to take an electronic keyboard home to practice, and if they show responsibility they get to KEEP the keyboard.
The biting dog was at the bus stop again today. I was surprised to feel a little aprehensive around her. She was chasing people and barking, being quite aggressive. I have seen her chasing school kids (teens), but I thought they were playing with her. Now I know that she is defending her territory. My hand is beginning to heal. The tear is about 3/4 inch long, and for some reason, it doesnt hurt unless I accidentally put pressure on it.

what did you do to your hand? I guess I missed that post?
BTW I am posting lots of pictures of Kate and Kenya on FB so you can look at them there. Kenya Lily Robanske told us her name the day we left the hospital so we filled out the birth certificate and went home.
Am looking forward to looking at your pictures. Check my blog for details on my hand. A dog bit me.
Now I get it. For some reason I didn't get the "Threes" post. Maybe I was preoccupied? I usually read them all but somehow I missed that one.
Sounds pretty misserable, but I have to agree with Lynette. Take what is happenind and examine what the message is.
Heavenly Father is REALLY good at giving you one trail after another in degrees, line upon line, to teach you what he wants you to know.
I can't begin to tell you what he wants you to know, but I think he will reveal it to you if you search. In the mean time...so sorry you have to deal with it all all once =(
I too have a hard time with the word varification and so I only comment if I have the patience to type a nonsense word 18 times
While you are dealing with your "three in a row", my family is being blessed. I feel these blessings show me once again that 1)Heavenly Father is aware of me 2)Heavenly Father is aware of me and my needs. (Me=me and my children) Whether these blessings are because of something I or my kids did, or because we have missionaries out, or Heavenly Father simply helping me trust in his plan for me; I don't know. But I am grateful for them and will definitely thank HIM formally tonight. (rpacerna, we'll see if I got that silly word right, lol)(nope, try again, oadyNi)
