Short and sweet

Just a quick little note to document that despite the best efforts of the recent flu bug hitting our house Rocky and I still made our biometrics appointment this morning. Now we just wait for our FDL and we're ready for baby boy. Well....after a long wait moving down the list but still...we're READY!!!

I also wanted to share our new favorite family devotional.....

Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions For Kids



I love this one just as much as the original version of Jesus Calling. The entries are the perfect length for our kiddos' attention span and the older kids can take turns reading them aloud. And isn't that cover so sweet?

Be still before the Lord  -Zechariah 2:13

It's tough to be still and quiet. There are so many things you could be doing-playing outside, talking to a friend, going to the game. But there are times when you have to be still-when you are sick, when you have finished your classwork, or when others need you to be quiet. Instead of wishing away this time, use it to listen to Me and to thank Me for My Presence in your life.

Some of my greatest work is done when you are still and quiet. That is when you can hear Me whisper to your heart.

That is so ironic that you posted this! That is the one I was going to buy for our little ones! Another blog friend of mine highly suggested it but I haven't had a chance to buy it. Thanks for sharing.
