Perception

It is interesting to hear someone's perception of how they think things were or are going. Recently my mom mentioned how when she and my dad were visiting us, in WA state, years ago, we went out for dinner and when dessert came out we had ordered something that we were sharing and we attacked the dessert with a vengeance. I can't remember any of this happening. sure i remember them visiting a few times while we lived there and can even remember places we went but this specific instance is vague to me. I asked my hubby about it and he said that he doesn't really remember that either and that we probably just wanted to eat up the dessert because we love dessert. any how i like hearing her perception of us from that time. she saw how we were frugal. we just appreciated that we got to live is such a beautiful area of the country for 3 years of our lives. we had so many great adventures while we were there to. some adventures local and others to places we only dreamed of going. we connected with people who we still hold dear to our hearts. i am pretty sure it took a few years for us to like tuna fish again. that is the food memory that my hubby has of that time.  

Tornado

Tonight my deep thinking daughter had a lot of questions. Questions about hurricanes and our plans and if we are safe and where we would go.
She has lived through numerous tornado experiances that she vaguely remembers.....the worst in our area, when she was not even a year old.
Answering her questions were hard when she wants 100%s
We have a 99% certainty that no hurricanes are coming our way but there is always that chance it could happen. She wanted to know where we would go? I assured her that we were in the business of keeping her safe and that God was too. We prayed for peace for her head and heart and that God would remind her that no matter What, He is holding her in His hands.  Praying for Houston and surrounding areas tonight. #littlegirlandy
