Swelling

... with pride.
I mean I really admire them. Really, truly.
Amelia, well, her bravery, wisdom and sense of humor.
Abe his love, tenacity, spirit.

Excerpt from my devotional this evening ...

Scripture: Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3)
Reading:
"To My Child"
from a "Gift from God: Meditations for New Mothers"
"When did I lose that self-delight? What happened to my awareness that every day I can do some things I have never been able to do before? What made me content to stop trying out yesterday's impossibilities to see if they could be done today? Does being grown up mean being content with 'what is' when we could be striving for 'what could be'? Inspire me, Child, to stretch my world as you stretch yours."

Oh how I love those two sweet kids of yours!! They are SUNSHINE! Thank you for sharing the devotional - just what I needed to hear this morning :)

Now that the weather is warming up, we need to plan an afternoon at the park...let them run around like crazy and then maybe settle down with a picnic...whatcha think?
