Day of Rest
Genesis 2:1-3
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
Today was a wonderful day of worship. We were able to attend a church of our choosing this morning, which is a rare occurrence with my husband being in ministry. We typically attend where he serves. This morning we were able to attend Christ Church a CREC church.
It was a refreshing time.
Then we came home for lunch and had some great theological discussion with our children. Then most of the family took a greatly needed nap! God definitely knew that we would need this day of rest to refresh, renew, and recharge. I praise Him for providing that for us on this Lord’s Day.
It’s Official!
As of yesterday, I am now the proud mother of three teenagers!(plus 5 other children)
Rachel turned 13 years old yesterday bringing the young adult count to 3. She had a couple of friends stay the night, they popped the tent and camped out. Today we are headed to the skating rink for the official birthday party. Pizza and skating with a bunch of her friends, what could be better! Happy birthday Rachel!
Spring Fever
Spring is definately in full swing. The time of blooms and new growth is upon us. At the beginning of every season I tend to think “No, this ONE is really my favorite season!”
The truth is I love every season, God’s glory and His provision are evident with every passing season. Spring reminds me of new life. Everything is fresh with buds. The buds begin to bloom. Baby birds and squirrels fill the park and my backyard! Our family even celebrates many birthdays during the spring season. All of this new life refreshes in my heart the new life that I have in Christ Jesus! Spring is indeed a glorious time of year.
There are lessons to be learned all year through and I find it wonderful and amazing that we can learn so much about our loving creator through the creation and the seasons. One thing I will definately miss when we move from the great Inland Northwest is having 4 distinct seasons!
Train Up a Child Thursday
Romans 1:20
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Today we are headed to the park and to the Lilac gardens. It is the perfect opportunity to remind my children of God’s awesome creation. To talk to them as we go about how God has revealed Himself through His creation, that man is without excuse when they deny God. God has made Himself known. Those who deny His existence are without excuse. To talk with my children about how they can use the gift of creation to teach others about our awesome Creator.
