Happy Harvest!

Fall is flying by at the Tunheim household. It seems like the older we get the faster time flies. A couple weeks ago we traveled to southern Minnesota to see my cousin Karl who was on leave from Iraq. It really felt like old times just joking around and being silly with the Gustafsons/Kraywinkles. We are so proud of Karl and his service to our country.

Kaleb and I took part in the Inaugural Fargo/Moorhead Half Marathon a few weeks back. We walked for my friend, mentor and speech/language coordinator, Barb Swegarden, as she battles breast cancer. Kaleb was a trooper…

I have to say that the evening of Halloween was one of the best times I’ve had as a family. It is such a blessing to see your child grown and develop into a beautiful person. Kaleb was so proud of being “Larry the Cucumber.” It was tear-jerking to watch him listen to the gospel being shared at story-time at church last night. Our hearts are so filled with love for him.

We attended a two-hour church service today at Calvary. The presence of God was there, and it was a truly moving experience. Jessica (Nick’s brother’s girlfriend) and Nick’s mom came with us. Can I just say how much of a blessing they are?? The time we spend with Luke and Jess is such a blessing to us. To see our son love them so much is one of God’s richest blessings. Above all today, God reminded us of his great love for us. That when we are lost, he searches for us. When we are hurting, he wants to wrap us up in his arms and hold us till the storm passes. When we repent the entire heavens break loose in praise! How great is our God!

I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Acts 20:24
