My bags are packed, my classroom at school is ready, my house is clean but no baby yet so I sit waiting on ready on the East Coast. I think I understand more about the parable that our Lord told about the virgins who had the oil for their lamps and was waiting on the bridegroom's return. I feel like one of those who has everything ready for the phone call that the baby is coming but I just don't know the day or hour.
As I wait, I am enjoying the weather here. After such cold days this week, warm weather certainly makes me feel more alive.
My heart has been heavy the last two weeks for a precious family in the school where I teach. I taught this little boy last year and his mother was my room mother. He has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Boy, does that ever remind me that we live in a fallen world. If you are reading this, please pray for Forester and his family.
Well, that's about all the news I have today. I don't have anything too exciting to write at this point unless you want this grandmother to tell you about her grandchildren. Then I'd have to say, "They're wonderful!" I'm sure I'll soon have some exciting news about our West Coast little grandson. Until then, I wait.
