Unexpected, A Confusing Picture, and Snuggling

Do you ever read something and it hits you in just the right way? I was reading Life in His Presence this morning and came across this statement (of Jesus speaking to the reader):

The world’s way of pursuing riches is grasping and hoarding. You attain My riches by letting go and giving. The more you give yourself to Me and My ways, the more I fill you with inexpressible, heavenly Joy. 

Isn’t it so true, though! I am much more joyful when I’m focused on giving versus attaining. Just had to share that quote today ❤️

One of our local libraries was having a STEM kids club night for K-5th grade, so we brought Sadie to one of the meeting rooms in the library and she got to hear a story about the gingerbread man, build a boat for gingerbread cookies, and decorate her own cookie.

Not sure what she was going for with three eyes on the gingerbread man’s stomach, but okay!

Imagine my surprise when we popped into the library and my book was on the shelf! That was unexpected and made me smile so hard 😬 (more…)

Picture Progression, Differences, and Our Own Words

I’ve always loved wearing matching clothes with Sadie. Now that she has a little brother, I love when they can match their clothes in little ways (same color or style) and in fun ways like matching pajamas.

Jimmy and I went on a date recently and picked up matching pumpkin pajamas for the kids. We took pictures of them and this was how the pictures progressed.
