I can't believe it's already Monday- it's been a long weekend for me helping with this event for the kids, dealing with issues here in the UK, and some that are popping up in the US with friends there as well. The weather has been gorgeous, in the mid 70s everyday (which people here complain about as an absolute heat wave) and pretty much no rain. It was actually warm enough to wear tank tops over the weekend. I have this big stack of clothes that I can basically only wear in Michigan in the summer because it's too cold here in the summer to wear shorts or tank tops.
Despite the lovely weather, I'm constantly reminded that our lives here on earth will be full of troubles of one kind or another as well as joys. Marriage is hard work no matter where in the world you are, but being in a foreign culture adds an entirely new and difficult dimension, so we'd love it if you'd pr for us as we work to improve our relationship and get some things ironed out.
My dear friend who is getting married June 20 (I'm in her wedding) has just found out that the cancer her dad's been fighting can no longer be treated, and he is now at home with hospice care. It had been being treated successfully for almost 2 years now, but the next 2 months are going to be really hard for my friend as she is getting married and starting a new life at the same time that her father has gotten worse. Please lift her up.
Living Proof friends we're lifting you all up- Tom has been giving us updates, and we are thinking of you all!
