Our Family: This week continued. . .

This week continued. . .

There were two pictures that I keep forgetting to post:

Here is a beautiful gift that was given to Alisabeth by her uncle and aunt from China. She wore it her first Sunday back in Rexburg. Isn't she adorable?

This is a first that must be mentioned. Jason left the room for a minute and when he came back she was curled up in the middle of the living room sleeping. She's never gone to sleep without at least a little fight, and definitely not without some coaxing on our part, so we were both delighted!

The Bridge Builder

An old man, going a lone highway,

Came, at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned, when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near,
"You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide-
Why build you this bridge at the evening tide?"

The builder lifted his old gray head:
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today,
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.

This chasm, that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."
