Even though we have cleaned, cleaned, cleaned as we do every Saturday ("cleaning day"), today has been so peaceful. We owe much of that peaceful feeling to the girl in the picture (who has lost her glasses! but that's a subject for another post some day!!!).
Cala (age 11) has really worked this evening, especially in the kitchen. I had it clean enough for church tomorrow (Sunday School for the kids is upstairs in the dining room/kitchen area) but Cala just all of a sudden got in the mood to clean she said and really went to town organizing things. Wow! She has it looking ready for a magazine!!! I am so proud of her tonight! She worked with a great attitude, never complaining a bit today! That's unusual for any kid, but for Cala, that's a wonderful accomplishment :o) She enlisted her brother's help and they truly didn't let me do much at all.
Once they had the downstairs clean tonight, they said, "Papa and Mama, close your eyes and come on down here." They then revealed the clean room and said it was that all the cleaning they've done is their Valentine's Day gift to us!! Awww.. how sweet. How very, very sweet!~

What a perfect gift!
The Lord is there with you, whatever you have to face! Praying!
II Samuel 22:29-33 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
