A Lake With Babbling Streams



Mackenzie and I are doing great despite some minor home malfunctions. We had just a little sprinkler system malfunction that caused a lake to form in our front yard with a beautiful stream stretching down the block. If you looked at it in just the right angle, you could see a rainbow. I made sure to point that out to our friend's daughter as our friend in his church clothes laid down on the ground to stick his arm down a foot of water to close the valve. Did I mention that the sprinkler system was probably running for at least 6 hours? Yep, my neighbor came over and rang our doorbell about ten times before I answered it and said something about a lake with a flood. All I could think of was "yes, we have a lake across the street from us". Then when I looked around him, I thought "oh no, this can't be good". I ran to the garage to turn off the sprinkler system, but it did nothing when I shut it off. That's when I called my friend and he rushed over to help me. I give God praise for today and for providing the help that I needed..
Sprinklers break...pipes break...technology breaks...things break...people break...but God does not break.
He never leaves me. His grace flows down and covers me. Thank you Jesus!

Is that a picture of the lake that your sprinklers created? Just kidding! Everytime Dan left for a week or two (or six), something would always break down on the first day he was gone. It kind of became comical after a while! :) If you need any help please let me know, and I will be there in a jiffy!

I love your attitude. When you had a lake in your backyard, you kept positive, KNOWING GOD is in control. I also love how you have opened your home and heart this week to Ella and Elijah.
