Every Good and Perfect Gift.......and re-gifting!

Hey, Kara has been busy, so I thought I would try to post a bit of my thoughts......but my mind comes up, blah, blah, blah right now. It hasn't been an exceptionally busy week, but it seems as though it has been. I guess starting with the floods this weekend-and therefore kids being inside alot, and Shelby's prom being postponed until Monday night-YES! a Monday night prom and all the beginning of the end of the school year stuff and making plans for vaction (yippee!), well it just seems to have been busy. I have never seen so much rain in such a short period of time, as we had this past weekend. I am constantly in awe and praise of how God spared us from any damage. Thank you, Father! and I am continually praying for friends, family and community that did receive damage. Please restore and recover them quickly, Lord! I want to share with you why Kara has been so busy...hope she doesn't mind....and she'll likely post about this current endeavor when she has a moment. Kara has wanted to learn to play guitar for over a year now. I offered to get her lessons, because the Lord knows that we hold NO musical talent in this family. That is truly like not even remotely a gift that I possess. But, no, Kara just wanted to pick up her brothers guitar (no he never learned to play, either) and she wanted to teach herself....so, she started a week ago, trying to teach herself to play-with a friend of hers trying to do the same. Now, I know that alot of people teach themselves to play guitar, but like seriously, you don't get it, this is like a miracle....we really could probably go back several generations before you could even find someone that could play or sing anything. So, I am hoping that maybe, just maybe, that line of giftedness-or should I say, of ungiftedness, will be broken. She can play several chords and sing and strum a few simple songs! Yay! I love music-she can sing and play all she wants here at home. And, if any of you have the gift of music and you believe in re-gifting.....pass it on to me! Oh, how I wish it worked that way.
