Olive

During the Com- munity Helper month at school we had a veter- inarian come in with his little dog, Olive. She was cute and Hannah actually liked petting her.

The Heart of Worship

On our trip I got to be DJ with the CD player in the car. I heard a song that I hadn't heard in a while. The name of it is The Heart of Worship. I've been singing it for days.

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus

Chorus:
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus

Baby Lamb

We have a good friend named Allison and she has a baby lamb. That baby lamb was so cute!

Yes, I know that lamb means baby sheep and so I should not have to say Baby Lamb together. I know that it is redundant.

However, this lamb is one week old. This lamb has no teeth. This lamb has not lost her umbilical cord yet. To me, this is a Baby Lamb not just a lamb.

She was so cute I could have taken her home! :-)

Idea from Aubrey Johnson

From his book Love More, Sin Less..

Sanctification is the process of growing more in love with that which is truly worthy of love.

Temptation is Measuring Love

Sanctification is Maturing Love

There are 3 ways to view the work of sanctification:

1. Position - you are a child of God.
2. Process - your heart is changed.
3. Product - your life is reformed.
   

1 Thessalonians 5:23
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:25-27
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

When You're Too Cheap To Get Two

Rain is like the Word

Isaiah 55:10-11

For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

(remember this next time it rains or snows and you wish it wouldn't.) :-)

Takin' Over Poppa's Chair

They think they are so cool in Poppa's chair.
They are silly!

Cute Little Helper!

About a month or so ago we all went to the dentist and Hannah talked a big game about how great she was going to be before we got there.

When we got there it was a different story. She insisted that she NOT go first and she was crawling up Chris with tears in her eyes.

Well, after Chris got his teeth cleaned and the hygienist let Hannah help she was a BIG Girl and sat in the chair by herself and got her teeth all cleaned up and was GREAT!!!

What a great helper.

3 Little Cuties

While Chris and I were still asleep we were so glad Maw Maw and Poppa were awake to hang out with the kids. This is the kind of picture we get of their good time with their cousin Landon.

What cuties!

(by the way, I think they are extra excited because they are in Poppa's chair. hehe!)
