Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”
Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

Furlough Highlights - Take 8

My parents took us one day to Greenfield Village in Detroit. It is one of the greatest living museums I have ever been too - it has working farms from the old days and houses from nearly every time period in American history, including the Wright brothers store and the courthouse where Abe Lincoln presented some of his cases as a lawyer as well as Thomas Edison's workshop (fascinating!). Not to mention lots of stuff for kids to do and live demontstrations of glass blowing, pottery and smithing. I highly recommend the experience as well as the Henry Ford museum that is right next door to any travelers to Michigan.

I especially like the picture of Michaela with her hobo lunch. So glad we had the time to do that. Next time will be even more fun! Love, Mom
