they are a reward from him.
Children born to a young man
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shme when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
Thankful today for Jack's two patches two patches of white blonde hair.
Thankful for his long eye lashes and deep brown eyes
Thankful for the freckles sprinkled on Emma Grace's nose like cinnamon
Thankful for her giggle
Thankful for the pitter patter of Judah's gate across my hard wood floor
Thankful for his happy, rough and tumble personality
Thankful for these image bearers of God in heaven
Thankful that God loves them more than I do
Thankful that he is writing stories of redemption in their lives just like mine
Thankful that I get a front row seat to see how God's grace conquers their sin, redeems their weaknesses and how his faithfulness alone will transform them into SONS and DAUGHTERS of the living God.
Thankful for the hope I have of standing beside them at the throne of God as brothers and sisters.
Thankful for the way these little ones push me beyond my limits, bring great joy while making me depend on God's grace and strength each day.
