My Life
The Lord has been showing Himself to me a lot these past few weeks. Especially through my children. The little things they do each day, seeing the light bulb click on when they've learned something new, the words of insight from the mouths of babes are too many for me to ignore. Then there are the other blessings. The wide variety of birds I have flocking to my backyard, some I have never seen before, a nice breeze on a hot sweltery day, the fact that even though money is tight we still have a full cupboard and all our utilities running (barely). He's reminding me once again who's in control, and why I so desperately need to keep my focus on Him. If I'm focused on Him, I can't be looking around at all the "other stuff" and be distracted. Afterall, the "other stuff" isn't my responsibility any way. IT'S HIS!!!! He will take care of it and ME. After all, He is the Creator of the Universe. If He can manage that, I think He can probably handle my piddlely problems.
On another note, Riley has been making me so proud lately. The other day I put him up to the table for lunch. I said, "Okay let's say prayers." He immediately flapped his hands together and said, "A-ga" Which to translate means AMEN! I was beaming as was I'm sure, his Creator.

Isn't it the best thing in the world when you see your kids learning from you. You sometimes wonder, 'Are they really listening?' Then one day-YEP they are. But be careful, it can be a blessing and a curse.
How cool. Erin, it has been wonderful to watch your children grow, both physically and mentally as well as spiritually.
God is amazing, isn't he? He never ceases to amaze me in the ways that he reveals himself. Creation cries out!
