It's good to be an only child...for the day!!
Isaac and Andrew spent some time with Grandma, so Mommy and Levi had some fun. Levi loves brownies!!
Top 10 things I have me excited right now!
10.) WE HAVE A BACKYARD!! All the snow has melted from our backyard. It is so refreshing to look out there and not see an ocean of white.
9.) I CAN FEEL SPRING COMING!! OK, it's not here yet... but the sun has broken through a couple of times and we have had a few days of mid 40's.
8.) THE KIDS ARE HEALTHY!! YEAH...I have finally broken the bad habit of visiting the doctors office or urgent care at least twice a week.
7.) I AM RESTED!! or at least I get rest at night. Everybody is currently sleeping through the night.
6.) NEW BABY IS HEALTHY!! and I am over half way done....YEAH!!
5.) I CAN SEND THE KIDS OUTSIDE TO PLAY!!! and my house is cleaner, my nerves are calmer, and I have time to sit and crochet a new blanket.
4.) I AM THE CEO OF MY OWN HOUSE!! I am currently reading a book that applies business techniques to running a smooth and well organized home. It is very practical and has me inspired!!
3.) MY FAMILY EATS BROCCOLI!! I am on a nutrition kick. I am changing our eating habits and my family is adjusting nicely. We have introduced things like sprouted grain, hummus, lots of raw veggies, and fish. So far none of us has starved to death.
2.) MY HUSBAND LOVES ME!! Self-explanatory.
1.) DESPITE HARD FINANCIAL TIMES GOD IS FAITHFUL AND PROVIDING FOR US!!
GRAND PRIZE WINNER WHY I AM EXCITED RIGHT NOW IS........
***THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!!!****
I am enthralled with the knowledge that the God of the universe is a perfect God. He is Holy in all He does. He is the Sovereign King and the perfect judge of man. Because He administers perfect justice He has to condemn sinners to punishment. To do otherwise would make him a corrupt judge. This brings a great dilemma to man, because all man is sinful. Not one of us upholds God's perfect standard. All of us has broken God's law. In God's great court room, all of us can look forward to condemnation and punishment. It is the only fair and just verdict.
And then to realize that God, in his great mercy, sent his only son, in whom he loved dearly, to come to earth. He did this out of great love and compassion for us. Jesus went to the cross to bear our guilty verdict. He bore our sentence. God poured his wrath out on Jesus, so that I can stand justified. My sin is paid for. I am blameless in God's sight. I am guaranteed heaven.
My friends, this has me very excited. Please understand, I am not trying to evangelize people who don't know this (although that would be ok), but I want to remind you...my friends....the Christians of this. Our salvation was bought at a tremendous price. It is precious. I urge you to evaluate your life and make sure you are walking in a manner worthy of the high calling you have received. "Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:10-11
