ZEHR'S AT THE ZOO!

One day recently, the Zehr's went to the zoo! Emma loves animals. She loves animal book, toy animals, animal videos, animal documentaries...you name it...if it's animals, especially zoo animals, Emma loves it!

She and Sophie had a great day with Mommy, Daddy, Granny, and Papa. The big special event was feeding the giraffes. Granny kind of thought that was special too since they were her favorite animals on her African safari back in 2004.

Though you can't tell from the picture, Emma is wearing her new giraffe dress from the second hand store in Colorado Springs. Her mom and dad got it for her when they were on their recent trip out there to set up things for their upcoming move. JT will be attending Bible school there and working for a Mr. Rooter business. That was a real blessing and the story of how he got the job is a real God planned story. It won't be long now before they leave and we will be very sad to see them go, though we feel it's God's will for them and are very proud of them taking this leap of faith. After all, we did the same thing in 1990 and have never regretted it. I'm sure our parents were sad to see their little grandkids move to Ohio for a year to attend Bible school in preparation for ministry, but they let us go with their blessing.

So, these little trips and outings we've been able to make this summer are even more sweet knowing we will soon be separated for a time. It kind of reminds me of Jesus. We Christians are now separated from Him for a time, but someday we will be rejoined in Heaven, be it through our deaths or His second coming. For now, the time we spend in His word and with His Holy Spirit guiding us is very sweet. Blessings, LORI
