Choo-choo
The weekend before Easter, we went on a train ride at the railroad museum. I have issues with celebrating Easter during Lent, but we put up with the Peter Cottontail theme and had a great time. Jack was terrified of the bunny. I mean, scared.out.of.his.mind. If you check out his frightful Santa encounter you'll get the idea of what it was like to be hugged by a giant mint green furry creature with massive eyeballs. And to answer your question, yes, he was the only kid on the entire train who cried. (We just tell ourselves that he's smart.)

Hi Michele!
First I'll apologize for taking up a bit of space with this post, but my aunt (one of my best friends) sent this to me, and I thought I'd pass it along. This reminds me SO much of you.
Malachi 3:3 says: 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and
they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature
of God.
One of the women offered to find out the process of
refining silver and get back to the group at their next
Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an
appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about
the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of
refining Silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of
silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in
refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the
fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot
spot; then she thought again about the verse that says:
'He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.' She asked the
silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the
fire the whole time the silver was being refined.
The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the
silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it
was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the
flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the
silversmith, 'How do you know when the silver is fully refined?'
He smiled at her and answered, 'Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image
in it.'
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has
his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in
you!
And, whatever you're going through, you'll be a
better person in the end.
Touching on your last post; you are SO strong, Michele. Hang in. You are doing such and outstaning job. I'm not sure I could be everything that you are. I'm sure it goes without saying, not only can God see his image in you, but so can others. :-)
Lots of prayers and blessings headed your way today!
Jennifer :-)
P.S.
Love the pics! Jack is so cute!
