Just For the Joy Of It – Four Wheeling…

Good, True & Beautiful


This week while I was visiting a nearby relative, I noticed some beautiful flowers blooming in her yard. Sensing a photo opportunity, I later asked my husband to take me back up there on the four wheeler. 
As any busy wife and mother knows, finding time alone with the husband can be a rare treat.  He obliged my request and off we went on the four wheeler, me holding onto his back, the wind in our face, sun to our back for a few minutes of together time!

Then he patiently waited while I snapped some pictures:

Then we came back home and captured the moment with a few photos, courtesy of our youngest:

Spontaneous rides and capturing nature’s beauty brought me much joy this week!

    I love snowball bushes! That sounds like fun! I forgot how free you could feel riding on the four wheeler. I am going to have to ask my husband to fix ours!

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.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
