Day 328 - May 10 - Mother's Day

Today we made it to church down in Gilroy. In addition to getting to hear Connor's friend Lexi bust a vocal groove with the worship band, we were really blessed by the worship and by the support of our friends. It was such a blessing to be encouraged and lifted up by our friends there.

We celebrated Mother's Day in true Connor style - after church we went to the grocery store, where Cherié and Connor went on a mission to gather the ingredients Connor had selected, while I pushed the basket around (you have to do what you're good at, right?). Then once we were home, the two of them made like the movie Ratatouille, with Connor directing while Cherié used her hands to make a fantastic Mother's Day meal - steak stuffed with havarti cheese, bacon and spinach, then grilled over mesquite charcoal; a spinach salad with shrimp scampi on top, and carrot cake for dessert. Yum!

Of course, that does explain why I need to start exercising again...

Joélle has made a full recovery and is in good health again - thank each of you for your prayers! She's got the last of her finals between Monday and Wednesday, and then she'll be back home on Thursday evening. We're looking forward to having her back here again.

Thanks, each of you, for your continued prayer and support. Most days I cannot fathom how we make it through, and your prayers are so encouraging and helpful. Thank you for being so faithful.

Eric
