Wasn't it just last Friday that I was wearing a tank top, skirt and flip flops? Haven't we been watching the robins and opening our windows for the fresh Spring air? And wasn't yesterday the first day of Spring?
But, this is Jersey. Anything can happen. It's March.
This past Sunday, Shifrah wanted to do something that we would normally not allow on the Lord's Day. So, we said "no" and then explained that it was the Lord's Day and that we are to keep it holy. A few minutes later, she declared her need to use the bathroom facilities, then paused and said, "Mom, are we allowed to use the toilet on the Lord's Day?"
On Tuesday, Hadassah celebrated her 12th birthday. After all that's gone on this past year, we are especially thankful to our Lord for this blessing! We had a fun day together doing things that Hadassah enjoys and found ourselves outside a store that pierced ears. Since we had promised she could have her ears pierced when she turned 12, you can just leave it to Hadassah to find a store on that very day.
