An update and a thought

Big boy bed update . . .


All seems to be going very smoothly so far! I know it's only been 2 days, but no major mishaps yet! We are so thankful for a sweet little boy who is a good sleeper! So thankful!


Food for thought . . .

I don't know about you, but I so often forget the POINT of each day. As soon as I am awake, I'm thinking about my to-do list, what tomorrow holds, oh, and what we'll be doing 5 years from now. I know, I'm weird.

All the while, God's Word reminds us that TODAY is the day He has made, that we can rejoice and be glad in it! He also reminds us that we should live as WISE, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil (I think this means b/c our tendency is to waste our days on foolish, selfish things that don't really last after today . . . ).

So, before we all go any further today, maybe we should stop and recognize these things:

1. The reason we are breathing is because a GREAT GOD OF LOVE has chosen to give us breath again today, for His glory. Let's be thankful for another TODAY.

2. God is the Beginning and the End, the center of all things. Let's surrender our living to Him today, so that we aren't missing the POINT.

3. And don't forget to have FUN! Remember, God came to give us life and life to the FULL. Let's live it up today! Love fully! Dance a lot! Laugh hard! Maybe even play in the rain! Let's not let the worries of this life or the deceitfulness of wealth choke us of our joy in Jesus today, friends!

Love you all! Hope this is an encouragement to you this morning!
