Our family had some nice things happen yesterday.
1. Bethany’s choir performance at school was a success.
2. When checking out at Kroger, the cashier told Kelli that an anonymous donor had given a gift to five people in line. She took a Ben Franklin out of an envelope and applied it to our bill.
3. A couple of girls came home with all As on their semester report cards.
4. God helped the boys out by raking all of the leaves in our yard and putting them in a corner where they are easy to collect. (Other areas didn’t fare so well from the high winds.)
5. I turned in the first half of my dissertation.
6. Jonathan made us laugh. He does that every day, but we don’t take it for granted.
Earlier this week our family enjoyed Michael W. Smith’s Christmas concert with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. It was outstanding.
Tomorrow I’m teaching that the Old Testament is a thoroughly messianic work.
