Today at church a fellow parishioner (a pediatrician) told Jeff to "trust the process" that with time and meds Ellie will overcome her health issues.
Little did he know Jeff was married to a woman who hears things like that and tries to make deep, earth-shaking revelations out of it.
But really - trust the process...isn't that what we have to do in life anyway? Trust that we're doing God's will. Trust all we are doing has great meaning. Trust good will come out of something that sometimes feels like a disaster.
I also heard "you might stumble but you won't crumble" recently too. So this is what we are learning in school today.
Naturally - I left the marker out and the board instantly got decorated with a family portrait and "Happy Birthday Jullia" for next week. I guess we've done art for the day too.
