I really am probably the most sporadic blogger there is, simply because we are busy living life and don't have time to document it!
But I did get tired of seeing snow pictures when I checked it out, so here we are with the present...
I have been doing horrible at taking pictures lately, perhaps because cameras and mud don't mix well, and that seems to be our normal summer companion! I must do better, though, because THESE are the days I never want to forget... I love and cherish these days (well, most parts anyways.)
And I am determined to soak up these days with all the chatter, squeals, laughs, sunshine, singing, and yes the dirt and the tears too!
So this is what fills our days - how very VERY good God is.

| Precious faith of a child story. She and her daddy planted tiny poppy seeds last fall. Seeds would come up, birds would immediately pluck them up and eat them. She and her daddy made mini "greenhouses" for the last 2 sprouts with plastic cups. She checked them every morning, picked them up when the winter wind and rain knocked them over, and told nearly everyone who came over about her poppyflowers and how they were going to be sooo beautiful... Her prayers evolved from "God please help my poppyflowers grow" to "God thank you that my poppyflowers ARE growing" to "God please help my poppyflowers to bloom" to "God THANK YOU that my poppyflowers grew BIG and bloomed!" Emma's poppies that she prayed faithfully for all.winter.long. grew a foot taller than her and bloomed profuse HUGE poppy flowers! A beautiful lesson for her of sowing, tending, and reaping above and beyond what she had confidently prayed for. Isn't that just the way God is... |
