Let Your Requests Be Made Known to God

I don't know why you are keeping me here, Lord. All I want is to be with my family. It's not a request for sinful self-gain...I miss my family. I want to see my mom, I want time with her before she's gone forever. I want Diego to have time with her before he can't remember her. I want her to be joyful over her grandson, whom she's waited so long for. Yes, these are things that I *want.* I want them for good things. I feel their absence, Lord. Like a void...a missing limb. I am alone down here. Friends don't replace family, not to me. Blood will always run thicker than water, and I know what they say about blood...Christ's blood, and those who have accepted that sacrifice, are blood family...but I have yet to meet anyone who would really truly treat you like your earthly loving family does. Lord, I have been praying. I am praying that it is your will to move us that way.

TESSA: Hi! I didn't see where to email you so I'm replying on your blog, hope that's okay! I got my tree at either Lakeshore Learning or Beyond the Blackboard. I can't remember which, but I'm sure you can find a tree at any local teacher supply store. It's just a bulletin board set.

Hi Tessa, I have the wooden pattern blocks, I like them because they are thicker and just like the feel of wood. I believe they are the same size as the plastic version, not sure about the foam ones.

Yes, they do slide around on the laminated sheets.
