We Are Too Busy!

Today was the Columbus Day holiday from school and work, and I slept late and was enjoying a cup of coffee this morning when my youngest son woke up and came and sat in my lap. Relishing these moments as they are rare, we were snuggling when he looked up and asked me "When I was a baby, in your stomach (pregnancy), did I get to play? I said, "Well you ate and slept and wiggled,". "No" he said "Did I sometimes open the door and go out and get some blocks and come back in and play with them?"
Whoa...this was too heavy talk for this early morning time!
I realized, we keep this child running so much and he always has something to do, so he couldn't fathom being in utero, with nothing to do! Out of the mouth of babes!

    Yea that is not an early morning conversation... or at least not one for me. Whew how do they think of things like that right after they wake up?? Crazy.

    I had a great time at lunch Monday. It was so good to see you guys and to chat it up about pregnancy with you. You always make me feel so much better or normal or both. Thanks!:)

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
