I had such a wonderful day last week.
It was one of those days where I knew I needed to put everything down and just go sit outside and watch the kids play.
Each one got a sheet and we tied them to be pretend capes; Jasper sat in the swing; and Ruby and I sat under the little avocado tree pushing him while singing songs.
There was a warm breeze blowing and as I just enjoyed my 8 young children, I knew how truly blessed I was.
My children can challenge me as a Mommy. Stretch me beyond limits I knew I was capable of being stretched. Teaching me patience and revealing my weaknesses that I would rather keep hidden, but because of them and my husband, I am a better person.
A person who is learning from my own family how much more I love and need Jesus.
I have come to the point where I would never consider or could even fathom a life without God being the core of it all.
People think being saved is a life of restrictions (and unsaltiness), but they don't really know it is a life of happiness and freedom. A life with more love and clarity. A life of blessings and growth.

oh my goodness she is a cutie.
i fully agree...having our precious Jesus changes our lives. I have more fun, joy, peace, comfort then I ever had. I wasted so many years of pain...now I am reaping the rewards of acceptance.
Praise Him Praise Him Praise Him
She is adorable... you are very blessed.

I absolutely agree with you! God as the core of everything we do brings such joy and clarity. Very well said. Also such a cutie pie girl you have there!
