Prayer Tree

A few weeks ago (sorry for not updating sooner!) we had to stay home from church because Gabrielle had viral pink eye and could not go to school for 10 days (per doctor's orders). Well we were blessed that no one else got it in our family but for a girl that loves school and her friends it was not fun! We got through it and I think the Lord taught us both a lot about patience and trusting Him in times we don't understand! She really had a great attitude and for homework she had to draw what she would dress up as. Gabrielle drew a princess with pink eye. It was hilarious! She then proceeded to draw her Uncle Nate a birthday card of a jellyfish with pink eye because she does not like jellyfish or pink eye. Not sure that Uncle Nate thought of this as a happy card but at least she was getting her dismay out about pink eye! Anyway we stayed at home and constructed a prayer tree...with prayer requests on leaves stuck on the bottom and then when the Lord answers them we move them up on the tree branches. We got to move Gabrielle going back to school up and are still praying for the Wood family (Steve is deployed), the Kings and the Witte's missions fundraising, and lots of others. I will take a picture sometime of it but right now Caleb and I are sharing a camera and his is always in his truck...
