The JOY of FaLL






Yesterday we enjoyed the day by

raking

jumping

throwing
(frisbees, leaves, baseballs and temper tantrums)

laughing!

BUT,

what you didn't see was the

crying

complaining

pouting

screaming!

I FELT like crawling back into bed and hiding.

Instead

I

Chose

to

ignore

my

feelings

and

do the RIGHT thing.

To be in the moment!

I'm so glad!

A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
but heartache crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15:13

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart
and good news gives health to the bones.
Proverbs 15: 30

There is a way that seems RIGHT to a a man,
but in the end it leads to death.
Proverbs 16:25

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21

God's way is always the best!

(yes, I screamed and pouted too)

  1. God's way is ALWAYS the best:) A little pouting and screaming is allowed, especially when dealing with leaves! Have a blessed day with those precious children! HUGS!

  2. Wait a minute. Was it YOU doing the crying, complaining, pouting and screaming, Mommy?

    I can tell by the pictures that when all was said and done, they had a fun day. Those pictures are frame worthy. LOVE the sisters in the leaves and your son at bat!

    And if you're ever having a bad day, just pull out the toe curling one with the grin popping out of the pile of leaves. That would be guaranteed to chase the grumps away.

  3. Looks like a fun day was had by all, and you got the most adorable images to prove it! Living with kids has DEFINITELY taught me to roll with the punches. The tantrums come and go, but the happy memories last forever.
