A time to weep

Today James and Thomas brought home their first term report. I tried to get Thomas to open his for me while we were at the robot but the little monkey refused to let me have it. "No no mom. you must wait till we get home".

As we dragged ourselves in, bags and all, I immediately reached for his report. What an awesome report it was. This little man is doing so well. Concentrating and working on his own. I was one proud mommy. The first weep!!! Of course Thomas thought I was nuts.

Then , I moved on to James report. The first of grade four. Wow! The format had changed. After reading the front blurb which offers all the mark details I turned the page. Weep number 2 for the afternoon. What a great report!! it was what his teacher wrote that made me weep. She described my James to a T!! I am so proud of these two boys!!! Long may they work hard and do their very best!! Thanks Lord!

Psalm 139

9 O Lord, you have searched me and known me!  2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
 you discern my thoughts from afar.
 3 You search out my path and my lying down
 and are acquainted with all my ways.
 4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
 behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
 5 You them me in, behind and before,
 and lay your hand upon me.
 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
 it is high; I cannot attain it.
 7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
 Or where shall I flee from your presence?
 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
 If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
 9 If I take the wings of the morning
 and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
 10 even there your hand shall lead me,
 and your right hand shall hold me.
 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
 and the light about me be night,”
 12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
 the night is bright as the day,
 for darkness is as light with you.
 13 For you formed my inward parts;
 you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
 Wonderful are your works;
 my soul knows it very well.
 15 My frame was not hidden from you,
 when I was being made in secret,
 intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
 in your book were written, every one of them,
 the days that were formed for me,
 when as yet there was none of them.
 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
 How vast is the sum of them!
 18 if I would count them, they are more than the sand.
 I awake, and I am still with you.
 19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
 O omen of blood, depart from me!
 20 They speak against you with malicious intent;
 your enemies take your name in vain.
 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
 And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
 22 I hate them with complete hatred;
 I count them my enemies.
 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
 Try me and know my thoughts!
 24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
 and lead me in the way everlasting!
