The Fun of Family Pictures

Last weekend we gathered at an aunt’s home with my husband’s side of the family.  It was a great time of fellowship and fun and we enjoyed visits with those we don’t see very often.  It was also a rare time when all my family was in one place, even though we had to drive three separate vehicles to be there!  Since we needed a Christmas family picture, I snagged a sister in law to take a few photos.  After (much) grumbling, here is what we came up with:

This is just practice, plus we are missing one!

    My family always grumbles,too, and I usually make them pose anyway. With six kids, we have to take 20 or so pics to try to get one where everyone looks normal.

    Someday they'll thank us, for now, we listen to the grumbling and keep shooting.

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...

WFW – Write It On My Heart

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel       after that time, declares the Lord.    I will put My laws in their minds       and write them on their hearts.    I will be their God,       and they will be My people.  Hebrews 8:10 On a recent field trip to a museum featuring the days gone by, we sat in an old schoolroom as the teacher introduced us to the quill pen and bottle of ink.  She cautioned us to use extreme caution using the ink and told us that if it got on our skin or clothes, it would not come off. This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word.  As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes w...
