Random Happenings First week of December

Boys enjoying each other...they are playing pretty good together these days...but it really depends on the day. We got a bit of snow and the kids wanted to play in the snow on the deck together. Sarah LOVES babies and she loves when the boys will let her play with them as babies. Dave PASSED and we received the results...it was a blessing...he now is a Junior Hearing Specialist.

Ready For Church in our Red

I love Red...I love to have my kids dressed up in red for the Christmas Season...this is the First Sunday after Thanksgiving...this is our best attempt at a kids photo!

"Being There [is] an emotional and spiritual shift, of succumbing to Being Where You Are When You Are, and Being There as much as possible. Its about crouching on the floor and getting delirious over the praying mantis your son just caught instead of perusing a fax or filling the dishwasher while he is yelling for your attention and you distractedly say over your shoulder: 'Oh, honey, isn’t that a pretty bug.' It’s about being attuned enough to notice when your kid’s eyes shine so you can make your eyes shine back.” Iris Krasnow

Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more (see proverbs 3:11-12). He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain . . . Your Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son love you perfectly. They would not require you to experience a moment more of difficulty than is absolutely needed for your personal benefit or for that of those you love.
