sand art.
if i could bottle up days and save them forever,
today would be all glittery, multi-colored sand...
layered on top of each other in a pretty little glass bottle.
these lyrics hit me especially hard today:
oh, the wonderful cross!
bids me come and die and find that i may truly live.
what a gift.
also,
i think 'dying to self' is going to be
the phrase i now put on repeat in my head
all.day.long.
i need this.
hope you had the happiest of Easter celebrations, friends.
[or just the happiest of days!]
i am thankful for so very much.
one of the things is you.

My 2 year old has one of those same fabulous Target dresses. I also wanted to tell you that visiting your blog, reading your words, looking at your pictures - all of it makes me smile. I love your attitude too. As a mom it is not sunshine and roses and all things happy every day but you certainly make it seem that way and I love that. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these precious pictures of your precious ones! Clayton looks ADORABLE and the girls are gorgeous. You quoted one of my favorite songs...The wonderful cross truly does bring life. Thanks for the new daily phrase. "Dying to self" seems to be a constant struggle!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you all.
Amen...as a Mama the Lord gives us great practice daily to die to self...and truly it is a gift!
ReplyDeleteYour family is precious! Your girls beautiful and that little man (that tie:):):)) and those chubby cheeks. I just need a quick fix of your blog to keep my dream of adopting some day alive!
Happy Easter!
Oh how I adore your family and I love the look of your blog!!!
