Humility

Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less. --C.S. Lewis

Wordless Wednesday

(almost without words)

Look what I found?
Always something to smile about!!

Messy Sweet

Last week was crazy sweet, full of runny noses, large splinters and tired cranky children.
Fortunately only minor surgery had to be performed!!

But in the middle of it all, we were blessed with a warm sunny day.
We took advantage of it and rushed to the park in fear of what tomorrow might bring.

I found little man at the back door enjoying the warmth and an interesting read!!

Sophie's nose has finally stopped running!!

Learning to love all that life has in it. The good, the bad and the ugly.
God is good... all the time!

Unwrapping these sweet times with Emily at Chatting at the Sky.

This Little Light of Mine, I'm gonna let it SHINE!

2 Corinthians 4
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

From the Outside looking In

I love to watch my children when they are not aware of my presence.
I have witnessed some very sweet moments...and not so sweet as well.
There is comfort in knowing that God is always watching over us!
His promises are like a cozy fire on a blustery day.

Psalm 121
A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
