Love..."Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law" Romans 13:10

This afternoon the kids and I went for a walk. Tatum had asked me earlier in the morning if we could take all the babies for a walk after lunch. (If you look at the pictures you will understand what I mean by all the babies...LOL.). That is our special thing. When we have a georgeous day such as this, we usually head out for an early afternoon stroll. The girls love to walk and admire all of the lovely homes around our neighborhood. I love watching them when we are out on our little adventures. They never fail to make me laugh. They walk and talk as if they were grown. Their Teany Tiny conversation, (as it seems to us), but truly is a big ordeal in their precious little world. So enthusiastic about everything around them. I just can't help but be overwhelmed with LOVE. As we walked and talked and admired the Beautiful back drop that the LORD has so graciously provided for us I thought of how magnificient God's LOVE is toward us. It is so great that we will never be able to fully comprehend it. To think that God sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins is so amazing. The Love that Jesus had for all man kind is mind blowing and extremly enormous. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 What an amazing promise to cling to. God does not want anyone to perish but for us all to have everlasting life. We just need to do our part in the deal. Which is so mineute when you look at everything he has done for us. I watched Tatum and Elyssa tend to their babies, it was the sweetest thing ever. Tatum's baby got fussy a few times so we had to stop so she could take her out and comfort her and Elyssa's baby slept most of the time. They were so adorable. They love their babies so much... They made sure that their every need was met and that they were enjoying the little walk that they were out on. I admired them and thought of how much Love can fix so many problems. Not just an emotional type of love but a true, deep, unconditional love. A love that is so strong that it could cover any wrong that has ever been done."Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love coverth all sins." Proverbs 10:12. Jesus Christ is so forgiving that no matter what we have done or who we are we can come to the throne of God humbly for forgiveness. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1John 1:9. Love is so powerful. As a mother I think of how much I love and adore my Children and how I would do anything for them. And then I think of God's love towards (us) his children and I can't help but want to have my cup overflowing with the compasionate love of Jesus Christ toward all men.

Love,

This Little Light of Mine"Let your light so shine before men, thatthey may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Mt 5:16

We have decided to change the name of our blog. We chose This Little Light of Mine because of the kiddos. They sing it all the time:) It is so sweet. We were driving one day and I think we listened to the Crown College Quartet sing it like 6 times. Then I thought what a cute name that would be for our blog. So there you have it. I think it is cute and sweet. And it reminds me of our little ones...
"THE LORD is my light and Salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1
