Such a lovely day!

I've had a ground-breaking revelation.  To preface, I've been having a bit of a tough go with Molly.  We're both really opinionated and we both LOVE to be right.  How to deal with that??  I had no idea.  We just kept having super rough days being majorly mad at each other.  And then, it hit me!  If you play with your kids lots, they'll be happier.  Yep, for serious, I'm that dense.  She just wanted to be played with!!!!  Oh my goodness, we have so much fun!  She's such a super sweet little girl (still opinionated, but not nearly as disobedient!).  She always was sweet, but it seemed to be getting clouded over by both of us butting heads.  So these days Steve doesn't get a clean house or food on the table when he gets home, but for the most part, the children are happy.  Ah, thank you Jesus for these wee ones. 

Part of our great day today was going for a walk.  We prayed that Jesus would show us something super special and interesting on our walk.  He never lets you down.  We walked down the road and came to a park and a whole bunch of the field was flooded.  Doesn't sound super interesting maybe, but to an almost four-year-old, this is incredible stuff!  She was wowed by the "lake" and looked at me and said "I think this is the special thing Jesus did for us."  Oh how my heart soared! 

See that smile, it's real!!  Zeke wasn't as impressed, but in his defense, he was a bit tired. 

So there you have it, play with your kids and ask Jesus for cool stuff on your walks and the days turn out pretty fantastic!
