Sunday's Reflection

This is the conversation I had tonight with my almost 2 year old in his crib, and yes that means I was in his crib with him :-)

Me: Did you have fun at church today?
Gregory: Babies.
Me: Did you play with kids?
Gregory: Babies.
Me: Oh, you played with babies.
Gregory: Fishies.
Me: You had a goldfish snack?
Gregory: Yes.
Me: Did you play with toys?
Gregory: Ya.
Me: What else did you do at church?
Gregory: Bible.
Me: (So excited that he said that I called Adam in the room) What did you say?
Gregory: Bible.....Sing it.
Me: Oh you sang a song about the Bible!!!!
Gregory: Book.
Me: Yes, the Bible is a book.
Gregory: Want it.
Me: You want a Bible?
Gregory: Yes.

"...Jesus said, Yes, I hear them. And haven't you read in God's Word, 'From the mouths of children and babies I'll furnish a place of praise'?" 

Matthew 21:16

Thank You, From The Bottom Of Our.....

BOTTOMS!!!

Grandpa... Thank you for always making sure we are covered, literally. 

To My Dearest Adam...

I came across this powerful article below and it touched my heart.

....Two words spouses don't hear often enough––from one another:

"Thank you."

• "Thank you for being my love."

• "Thank you for working so hard for our family."

• "Thank you for supporting me."

• "Thank you for being you."

Gratitude is not an option. It's actually God's will. As the apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Thes. 5:16-18, ". . . give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 

The more we express our appreciation toward our mates, the freer we become of negative thoughts and emotions toward one another. Resentment and judgment cannot exist in the same space with appreciation. "Gratitude is the rosemary of the heart," wrote 19th century writer Minna Antrim. How little it would take to sprinkle rosemary into the lives of our spouses. A simple 'thank you' every single day would do it!  As we become available, attentive, aware, and appreciative toward our marriage partners, we are building a relationship that will last a lifetime—and happily so.

I love you, forever.

Thank you Lord...

You have blessed me beyond words.
