Word-Filled Wednesday




My mom made the graphic above and I just love it.
(Click on the picture to make it bigger)

I long for . . .

that child-like faith,

that honest, complete trust,

that humble attitude,

that endless hope,

that care-free joy,

that unconditional love,

that sense of wonder

that children have.

Our children are amazing teachers . . .
when we take the time to watch them & listen to them.

Yes, when I grow up -
I want to be just like a child!

And another graphic made by Zhohn that I had to share!

LOVE IT!

Hi, Heather. Your mom really has quite a talent with graphics. And, the one with Allie holding the picture of Jacob is so precious. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so for sharing these with us!

Your Mom is so talented, and I have always loved that psalm in the last picture.

Breaks my heart that this is the only way your precious daughter will know your amazing son....but oh what stories you'll have to tell her when she gets older!
Still praying!
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Heather,
I love both pictures and I think we do learn so much from children. They love so freely and see all the small things that we may not see. They get great joy from unexpected things. A perfect word- filled Wednesday.
