Back to Mary

Ok...here's a break from Isaac for today!

Mary enjoyed her very own Strawberry Ice Cream Cone yesterday! And for the record...she can handle it all on her own...and she likes Ice Cream Cones! She's getting to be such a big girl!

"SEE!!" My Dad taught her this and it's so cute...for now! She can really make us laugh these days!

How deep the Father's love for us,

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the chosen One,

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed I hear my mocing voice,

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Phil. 4:8 (NLT)

We are PRAISING the Lord for our unexpected LOVELY gift from the Lord. He knows what we need when we do not know! Thank you Lord for Isaac - he is a BEAUTIFUL masterpiece sent from the Lord Himself!

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

Isaiah 26:3

Today's Favorite

Don't you see that children are God's best gift?

the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?

Like a warrior's fistful of arrows

are the children of a vigorous youth.

Oh, how blessed are you parents,

with your quivers full of children!

Your enemies don't stand a chance against you;

you'll sweep them right off your doorstep.

Thank you Jesus for our WONDERFUL GIFT!!
