Sweet Levi

Last night, after being away from his room for 48 hours (two nights!), during which we had packed nearly all of it away, including almost all of his toys, Levi returned and took it all in.  Instead of asking about his things that were missing (we had warned him about storing and packing them), or complaining about it, Levi simply looked at what was there.  He pointed to each item that was there and became excited about what was left.  He had a simple sense of joy at what he still had available to him.  It was incredibly sweet.

Today’s prayer requests include getting a few little things done here, running a few errands and finding the rest of the items we need, and having a good quality time with family tonight to say goodbye.  We could also use some rest.  We are grateful for all that was accomplished yesterday.  Our rooms here at my parents’ house are practically empty.  There is still quite a bit of packing left to do, both for storage and Africa, but it has all been sorted and piled appropriately.  The rest should go quickly.

Thank you for your prayers and support!!
