I love working at home...


One of the greatest things in the world is to be able to walk seven steps to see my little Abbie on the floor playing. Right up there, too is hearing her little feet pattering around the house and hearing her delightful squeals as she plays with her toys. It is at these times that I am reminded of how good God has been to me and my family. As we prepare to add another little rugrat to the pack, I am reminded of the blessings of children. It is amazing how the heart is enlarged and the capacity to love increases! No doubt, it will happen again with the arrival of the one in the cooker!

Tuesday, I heard the sound of Abbie squealing in delight as she played with her books. She loves books. Her favorite is the Foot Book by Dr. Seuss. We read this almost every night before bed!

I walked in to her gloating at the spread of books she had laid before her. Immediately, the Lord reminded me that she is mine only for a brief moment and before I realize it, she will be all grown up, and I will be able to hear her delighted giggles no longer! Time has a way of fleeting before our eyes. We must seize each opportunity to influence our children for good and for God.



Thanks for taking the time to visit today. Please keep praying for us. The Lord is so good to us. Each day, He provides and proves Himself! Let us trust Him and not lean on our own arm of flesh, for it will certainly fail!

Until next time,
ST

I could quote The Foot Book I've read it so much! It's a favorite at our house too. Awesome pictures!

What a little student of literature already! "The Foot Book" was also Alyssa's favorite bedtime story along w/Corduroy (loved the part about the lamp coming down with a CRASH). Your post is so true, soak these days in, as already I'm lamenting those years. ~Kelli
