Little Reminders

I’ve reached the point where I had to buy a new rolling pin here in Romania. For some reason that’s been a holdout for me. It symbolizes for me the end of an era—baking with my own kids; and the beginning of a new one—baking in Romania without them. I have this opportunity to bake with a few kids at the Minor Center who are not in school yet, so I am taking it, but there is a sadness too. A rolling pin reminds me of cookies & biscuits & all the fun things I did with my kids. I miss my kids & those days incredibly. Now I’m trusting the Lord for new memories with other kids, kids I already love, though none can ever replace in my heart the feelings & special place Cricket, Adam, David, & Kelsey hold and my grandkids Bryce, Brittany, & London.
