LABOR DAY WEEKEND

I thought I would sum up our Labor Day Weekend because it turned out to be so fun. I didn't get pictures of most of it, but the following post includes the pictures from the first part. First, on Saturday, we spent a good part of the day at the home of another homeschooling family who invited us over for a project on their property and a barbeque. They have a lovely 10 acres and another friend of theirs had offered to bring over his tractor and dig out a pond for them. They invited our family as well as another young couple from our church over for the day, though we didn't help much with the pond project. You can see the pictures below for more about our fun day there.

On Sunday, we spontaneously had a family over for dinner after church who are visiting the area from Arizona. They are such a delight to be around and we enjoyed the fellowship with them so much. They are the Simms family from Phoenix and they had 3 of their children with them, 2 girls and a baby boy. They were so easy to have as guests and flexible with the thrown-together meal. Very fun.

Lastly, a family from our church in the Pittsburgh area invited us over for dinner on Sunday night. We hadn't seen them in a long time and it was so refreshing to catch up and be with their family for the evening. We enjoyed being in their yard to eat, roast marshmallows, and watch the kids play. The Glenns are always very encouraging friends.

All of this may not seem very significant, but to us, it was a real blessing. We are so blessed and encouraged to be with other families and share fellowship. We were grateful to the Lord that He had planned that kind of a week-end for us and we went into the week feeling very renewed.
