Team Y Pulled it Out!

We completed an 11 mile family bike ride on Saturday morning! I am so proud of Conner for completing the 11 miles and so happy that my knees held up while toting 30 pounds of joy on the back of my bike :-) Conner was by far the youngest biker and he rocked it. He only stopped twice for water on the first leg and he didn't stop at all on the last leg. He also was breaking in his new 18 in bike. Some of the participants were calling him a little Lance Armstrong! I also love that we refer to ourselves as Team Y___ and we really pump up the teamwork aspect - lots of high fives, hands in the huddle and all. It was a great family-building time.

The start was cool and a bit foggy but it turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous morning. Conner is ready to do the 31 mile trek next year. Guess we better start training now...

Proverbs 31:10-31 (GWT)

10 “Who can find a wife with a strong character? She is worth far more than jewels.11 Her husband trusts her with all his heart, and he does not lack anything good. 12 She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life. 13 “She seeks out wool and linen with care and works with willing hands. 14 She is like merchant ships. She brings her food from far away. 15 She wakes up while it is still dark and gives food to her family and portions of food to her female slaves. 16 “She picks out a field and buys it. She plants a vineyard from the profits she has earned. 17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy. 18 She sees that she is making a good profit. Her lamp burns late at night. 19 “She puts her hands on the distaff, and her fingers hold a spindle. 20 She opens her hands to oppressed people and stretches them out to needy people. 21 She does not fear for her family when it snows because her whole family has a double layer of clothing. 22 She makes quilts for herself. Her clothes are made of linen and purple cloth. 23 “Her husband is known at the city gates when he sits with the leaders of the land. 24 “She makes linen garments and sells them and delivers belts to the merchants. 25 She dresses with strength and nobility, and she smiles at the future. 26 “She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction. 27 She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children and her husband stand up and bless her. In addition, he sings her praises, by saying, 29 ‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’ 30 “Charm is deceptive, and beauty evaporates, but a woman who has the fear of the Lord should be praised. 31 Reward her for what she has done, and let her achievements praise her at the city gates.”
