May I find His joy even in my sorrow and His life in my death. To God be the glory!

Today is Saturday. So far it has been a quiet day. 

I did get woken up before I was ready, to open up the pharmacy, but after that I enjoyed breakfast and coffee in peace, and then Bouan and Kevin came over and helped me weed and water the garden. 

I walked around the hospital with a trail of children behind me, searching for the goats, and then when we found them I put them in the playground yard, and fixed the fence. Hopefully they will stay in there for a few days and eat the weeds down, so it will be more tidy looking and more easily accessible.

In the late morning several of us gathered out in the yard to say goodbye to Dr. Sagar, take photos and pray together, and then I went back to the house and laid down, while the kids got into all the toys.

All the stuffed animals were brought out to fight. The wooden elephant, which is really a decorative piece, joined the battle as well. Just as I was thinking they would probably break the tusks off the elephant, they did. There was momentary pause in the fight, as they waited to see what I would say. I told them I’d glue them back on, and so the fight resumed.

The battle was long and violent. Kevin and his animals against Mervedy and his. It ended with the monkey doll flying through the air to attack Eeyore, and the elephant stomping on crayons and grinding them into the floor, staining it red. I would have liked to avoid that part, but it happened before I could stop it.

Later on the boys took naps, Kevin on the floor and Bouan on the couch. I cooked some random things for lunch and after that the boys went home.


So far it remains peaceful and I am enjoying a day of rest.
