Maybe it was because of the early morning call last week from Esperanza, a extra lovable friend from Seville, or maybe because friends who came for dinner on Saturday were asking about our years in Spain and looked at pictures of Seville with us, but Sunday morning when I was up early making cakes for Helen's birthday lunch, I put on an old cassette tape of the church in Utrera singing their church songs. As I mixed up cakes, I sang along, clapped to the stacatto beat and danced around the kitchen. A wonderful, worshipful, joyful morning-- better than hymns in church. "Dios me ha llenado con alegria."
God is good.
About Me
- Rhonda Sittig
- Brea, CA
- Larry and I live in a small house under the green maple trees. It is an orderly place, filled with books, chocolate cake and memories. We have four children, now scattered. Micah and his Jodi, in Shanghai with 2 dear girls. We dote on their every long distance video. Aaron & his adorable Jessica work at facebook and live in SF. Ani and Brian live in a pretty row house in SF. She spends her days at Creative Commons and Brian is an Apple engineer. And Laurel, after wandering the country, has settled in SF as well, adding her creative spark to Photojojo. My day by day job is teaching 3rd grade, satifisying when a child masters long division or reads through Harry Potter. But my vocation is the people I love, my family, (What a joy to set extra plates around the table when kids are home with us!) and the women I meet with to talk and pray each week. Joys, such as kid's weddings, big accomplishments, new grandkids, insights from God's word tie us together-- as well as heartaches of unexpected surgeries, marriages gone awry, job problems. I thank God for the best parents, 4 dear children, friends I can grow old with and a home and life with my Larry. God is good.
