December 2010
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Psalm 16:6-8
Living 'tween cornfields in quaint village style,
My work is no longer as close as a mile.
But so thankful we are for the job God provide
From Tia so flows love and joy from inside.
She teaches and tutors and listens and plans
to find just the fit for where each student stands.
Kevin's health program still demands and still steers
toward nurses and doctors and biomedical engineers.
Again, we are thankful for the wealth of the care
That to many veterans the VA offers a share.
Kevin waits and watches for just that thing
That to his community God wants him to bring.
Son Sean lives away with Christina and son;
To visit them now takes a five-hour run.
But they're doing quite well, in spite of the plan
That Sean will soon have to go to Afghanistan.
Katy works double--she has college and a job
Both are a blessing, she loves what she does.
To her friends she bestows lots of love, hugs and more,
And weekly she leads them in a study from the Word.

Colleen and Tara switched schools with their mom
And again in this gym they each reach for a pom
At basketball games they plan a great cheer
Not so much for the homework that comes with the year.
While Tara continues studying violin songs
Colleen works on photography all weekend long
Tara dabbles in Irving and art's fine line,
While Colleen relishes MacBeth and other design.
At church, they help with the two's and the three's
And at the end of the day, they take happy "zzzz's."

So like in years past, when our kids were quite small,
Or even when children we had none at all,
Or like recent times, all growing up together,
This year, too, our prayers with you gather.
As God guides us and blesses, no matter what we see,
We pray the same for you and yours--in His will to be.

We pray the same for you and yours--in His will to be.
With faith in Him,
Kevin and Tia
