Psalm 127 (The Message)

Psalm 127 (The Message) 1 If God doesn't build the house, the builders only build shacks. If God doesn't guard the city, the night watchman might as well nap. 2 It's useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don't you know he enjoys giving rest to those he loves? 3 Don't you see that children are God's best gift? the fruit of the womb his generous legacy? 4 Like a warrior's fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth. 5 Oh, how blessed are you parents, with your quivers full of children! Your enemies don't stand a chance against you; you'll sweep them right off your doorstep.

Day 41 - More of the same - Friday October 28

We needed some additional gifts for Sergei's friends, so we did some more shopping. He chose some small skate boards and some gum and candy. We also bought some orchids for several teachers. We had planned to catch the 10am train the next morning, so wanted to have everything in order.

Ksenia called mid-morning and said we might be able to get some paperwork done. She was going to call when she was ready early afternoon. I was pretty excited at the possibility! Unfortunately, when she did call back, she said that we could not get the paperwork yet and would have to wait for Tuesday. Big Bummer!!  Then later I got a message from Yarik's teacher's daughter telling us that she was sick and we would not be able to join them for dinner. So all our plans for the day were pretty much shot. At least we got to sleep in and get a few more gifts for friends.

Without much to do that night, we just made dinner and hung out at the apartment. We wanted to get to sleep early, so we would be awake and ready to get to the train. The boys got all their gifts ready to transport and we went to sleep.
