Baby Bunnies

Chad got home from Tractor Supply today telling me about baby chicks and bunnies! He actually stood in the cold with no coat and talked to the family who was selling them for about a half hour...all because he knows it would make me and the boys happy. He said we could get one, got me all the information and learned all about them. He would never do that on his own accord. I am so in love with my husband.   I know it's crazy to want one with three small children...but I would love a bunny..if the boys agreed maybe we would name him Peter:)

 Isaac has been asking for a pet but I don't think I can make the commitment now...maybe one day. The sweet family that was selling them lives on a nearby farm and raises them. They have three boys like us and then two little girls:)  I think we will at least visit them this spring!

"No news can be compared with this, To men oppressed with sin;
Who know what legal bondage is, And labor but in vain.

Freedom from sin and Satan’s chains, And legal toil as well,
The gospel sweetly now proclaims; Which tidings suit them well.

How gladly does the prisoner hear, What gospel has to tell!
‘Tis perfect love that casts out fear, And brings him from his cell.

The man that feels his guilt abound, And knows himself unclean,
Will find the gospel’s joyful sound, Is welcome news to him."

The Gospel is Good News Indeed

Nature park

We were so excited to discover a nature park here in Florence pretty nearby the house we are renting. I hope to take the boys as much as I can! It has been really fun to discover new places each town God brings us to. I am especially so grateful for the people we have met in each town. I can not even describe how much each friend I have made means to me.
As we still struggle with wanting to stay in one place and make a more permanent home, God continues to teach us in such a real way that this world is not our home.. We hope for and wait eagerly for the day we meet God and His son Jesus in our perfect and forever home in heaven.
John 14
1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
4 And you know the way to where I am going....Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Bethany Dillon- Best Song I'll Ever Write

I came across the sweet sweet song the other morning. I was giving my three little men breakfast as it came on and it brought tears to my eyes. There are so many distractions..so many other interesting things out there..so many subjects of study... so many things I'd like to discover and pursue and even so many ministries that I would love to be apart of. But right now God has given me three treasures. He has entrusted me with three little boys who will one day be men. I want to write God's love, His grace and His infinite triumph over all evil through Jesus on their precious hearts. It starts now, each little mundane moment and each joyful moment and each frustrating and tearful moment that I have with them. God, give me grace to not be so distracted by so many other things. Help me to embrace this season of training and loving my children. Help us to be focused each day, not on ourselves but on your Glory. Please give me grace to see that if I were a song writer, they truly would be the best song I could ever write.

Merry Christmas 2012!!

We did not send out Christmas cards this year but I did make this:) We hope all our friends and family had a very Merry Christmas!!

Isaac is 4 and Declan is 2!!!
