Monday's Grace 11/25/2013

When we bought this house 9 years ago, we were rapidly approaching a time when one would think we'd be ready to begin downsizing. But it was our (ok, mostly MY) wish to maintain enough space so that when family came home, there was comfortable space for everyone. At the time we only had 2 children in college, but looked beyond to a time when our family  might grow. Well............. we're there. And we're so thankful for days like this one.

Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp:

Sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of 10 strings.

Sing unto Him a new song;

Play skillfully with a loud noise.

For the Word of Jehovah is right;

And all His work is done in faithfulness.

Ps 33:2-4

A Toddler's Treasures

2 of my littles like to pick things up outside. One of them is old enough to put things in his pockets for his mother to find later. I offered the other one a bucket to carry his goodies as he has yet to discover the real potential of pockets! God's grace is seen in the beauty to which these little men are drawn. He cares for the smallest details and preserves them for us to enjoy............ 
if we'll just look for them!

Diamonds in the dirt patch

Little #1 found all of these in his backyard play area. He seems to have a real eye for detail!

Neat things in nature. 

Little #2 was drawn to these things on a walk around the neighborhood. 

My little treasure hunters

The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament showeth His handiwork.

Ps. 119:1

MESSY AND LOUD AT DUDE AND LEELAH'S!!! 

We are SO thankful to have our littles around. What a wonderful way to start (and continue!!) the week!

The "playin' wiff trains" never stops. 

Beautiful day for a morning walk!

Cheese!!

 "Wunch!"

Skitabetti consumption.......

Easiest way to clean it all up.

Playin in the space ship!

Taking a break with the youngest little

But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood,

a holy nation, a people for God's own possession,

that ye may show forth the excellencies of Him

who called you out of darkness in to His marvelous light:

who in time past were no people, 

but now are the people of God:

who had not obtained mercy,

but now have obtained mercy.

1 Peter 2:9-10
