Carpet. It is wonderful! We've been updating our children's area at church. We're painting, accessorizing, changing seating, breaking down walls, and yes we got CARPET in our kids church room. It was installed on Tuesday. I layed on the floor and gazed around the room - it's not finished yet - and just thought. Thought of the way God has been blessing us. I was just so thankful, so appreciative. Long ago I gave up asking for carpet. It was always a negative response - yes kids do make messes, we know. But the feeling of sitting on the floor, bouncing balls around without such loudness, running and falling without wails, music sounds better, chairs don't screach when moved, no dirty socks, I could go on and on. It finally happened. And it happened in such a nice way. As I lay on the carpet I almost cried. Maybe it's because I no longer have carpet in my house, but I love it. I love it so much I even did cartwheels in there.
The kids came tonight. Their faces were wonderful. They took off their shoes, we did summersault races, kartwheels, even the babies did crawling races! It was great. Makes me want to get carpet back at home.
Changes are coming to Grandview A/G and it is looking wonderful.

mag,
you should see the place they put us up in... oh my gosh... i feel like a princess.
it is a 'country club' golf course place. It is SO NICE.
I forgot, after being here, how important it is to feel like a princess. I forget to do those things. Along with what we were talking about Tuesday, about making time for important things we value (if you follow).
This is such a fun convention. I am so blessed!
I'll write more later.
I am happy with the carpet. I would love to hear more about how the kids responded!
