Something to smile about

"The Lord is my light and my salvation...the Lord is the strength of my life" Psalm 27:1

Can I get an AMEN?! So beautiful and true.

Jesus is my SUPER HERO!

He's the one who makes the sun shine
He's the one who that puts the moon in the sky
He's the one who hung the stars
One by one

He's the one who makes the birds sing
He's the one who makes your dreams so high
He's the one who makes me smile
Day by day

Jesus you're my superhero
You're my star, my best friend
Jesus you're my superhero
You're my star, my best friend

Better than Spiderman
Better than Superman
Better than Batman
Better than anyone

Better than Yu Gi Yo
Better than Barbie
Better than Action Man
Better than anyone

Tonight, I had a proud God/mommy moment! We were walking home from our evening walk chatting about what he can do all my himself and that he is such a big boy and then all the sudden he says- "I can do everything with Jesus because he give me strength" (with his super muscle pose)
He totally said Philippians 4:13!!! God is good!!

Jonah and the BIG Fish, NOT Noah!

I think God puts humor in his stories....especially for us Sunday school teachers! I was teaching the two year olds about how Noah, I mean Jonah did not obey God and kept running and hiding from Him. God had a BIG whale, I mean fish swallow Noah, I mean Jonah. Thankfully Noah, I mean Jonah prayed and asked God for help and forgiveness. God being the loving and forgiving God he is, saved Noah, I mean Jonah and Noah, I mean Jonah fullfilled God's plan! For some reason I kept calling Jonah, Noah and a fish and whale! I mean really, God, make it more confusing...Noah and Jonah sound alike, both involved with water. Needless to say, I hope the kids learned that JONAH was swallowed by a BIG fish and God always find you! :)

                                                                This is JONAH!!!

You are Precious in His sight

This song, Jesus loves the Little Children, is so sweet and simple.

 I find myself humming this tune a lot! And it melts my heart to hear my son sing along in the car :)

Jesus loves the little children

All the children of the world

Red, brown, yellow

Black and white

They are precious in His sight.

Jesus loves the little children

Of the world

Jesus died for all the children

All the children of the world

Red, brown, yellow

Black and white

They are precious in His sight.

Jesus died for all the children

Of the world

Jesus rose for all the children

All the children of the world

Red, brown, yellow

Black and white

They are precious in His sight.

Jesus rose for all the children

Of the world

I was on the ball blogging about my facebook status, but life got busy and my son decided to stop taking naps so my internet time has reduced, which actually is a blessing one way or another.
Here's to catching up on my blogging! Enjoy!

The best things in life...aren't things

We want, we want, we want, we need, we need, we need...sounds like today's society or perhaps your own life?! Don't get me wrong here, there are all things that we want and need to live, but when it comes down to it, the BEST things in LIFE aren't things...take a minute or two and think about all the blessings in your life...are they things? Or it more like experiencing God, family, friends, time, etc!

I was talking with my father in law this morning about my last blog post- long days but short years. The baby/toddler phase are long days, but really time is short. How lucky and blessed I am to be at home and experience this time with them! (THANK YOU HUBBY, you are the best!) These are the moments that are the best things in my life and its just time!

This is my favorite reflection of life and of course it comes my favorite bible verse! :)
Reflect your LOVE today, display your JOY, manifest your PEACE, practice your PATIENCE, express your KINDNESS, make known your GOODNESS, reveal your FAITHFULNESS, show your GENTLENESS and exhibit your SELF CONTROL. When the holy spirit controls our lives he will produces such things in us, the fruit of the spirit-Galatians 5:22-23...the best things that aren't things. God bless your day today!

Long days yet short years

I was reading the comments of a friend's facebook status and one of the comments was long days, short years. Babies and toddler years are long days, but short years...it was a sweet reminder to embrace my time with my sweetest blessings. Thank you God for blessing me with time at home with my little ones.

BE the EXAMPLE!

Ok, so we have Jesus Christ as our example to follow and yes we struggle and fall short everyday! Parenting is the same, we do our very best, but some days are just harder than others. BUT this doesn't take away the idea of still being the example for your kids. Your kids are going to act and model what you teach and show them. In my home, LOVE is a BIG action because GOD is LOVE (1 John 4:8)! There is nothing more rewarding to experience your kids follow the actions of Christ with a pure, loving and genuine heart. Be the example. God bless!
