I have such talented grandchildren!!! Just today I've seen outdoor pictures taken by 4 year old Emmy and 6 year old Tre sang me 2 songs on the phone---all in 1 day!! Bria, age 8, has an incredible capacity to learn and retain information. At age 3 she could tell you all about a huge range of dinosaurs including names I couldn't pronounce. Tru, age 4, rides his bike like a pro. And each one individually has the capacity to just melt Jon's and my hearts. I can't help but brag, so since you logged on by choice I won't even apologize.
I hope you are all blessed with people you love....make sure you hug them tight.
Thought for the day
It's amazing to me that God delights in us JUST AS MUCH as I delight in my husband, kids, and grandkids. It's easier to think of His love as lofty, holy, more "above". It is those things, but He also DELIGHTS in us...that sounds much warmer, more personal, and just more enjoyable to me. Kelli, I bet even He laughs when the milk comes out the nose!! :)

Back to the Grind
So how did we all do going back to the workweek? My day was busy and a little stressful. Had a couple of treats after work, though. Got a haircut (finally) and my daughter and two grandsons were here for almost two hours after that. She brought me a package of wonderful pictures we had done of our two grandsons and two granddaughters together all decked out in John Deere t-shirts. Of course they're the most beautiful kids ever!!! Did I tell you I really love being a grandma?
It's 20 degrees cooler today, and it feels wonderful outside this evening. I'm hoping all of you enjoy your shortened week and the approach of fall.
Thought for the day
You know how in Iowa we can get an ocassional stretch of cloudy days and not see the sun for a while? After about one day you hear people complain and say they wish the sun would shine. It always reminds me of the reality of God's presence. We may not see the sun for days on end, but has it stopped shining? Of course not, but our view is obstructed by the clouds. In the same way, God has promised to always be with us, to never leave or forsake us. When we do not see or sense His presence and we look for Him and see nothing, is He any less with us? We can count on Him because of His promise even when we see and feel nothing. Whether the "clouds" blocking our view are circumstances, illness, exhaustion, apathy, conflict, or even sin, we can count on His word to be true---He loves us and is with us. Let's count on Him and surrender it all to Him.
