Sunday Football (Church-Kid Style)

After church football games. These are the moments I love. Despite the cold and coats, I like to believe spring is in the air and summer coming soon.

This game takes some serious concentration, folks.

"Throw it to me! Throw it to me!" she yells.

(Could someone please explain to me why this is so much fun? Because I really don't get it).

 

I love this dorky kid. Sorry, you can't have him. He's my dork.

Early In The Morning

My heart melted when I walked downstairs and found this:

Happy Friday!

What A Girl Can Do With Flowers [Part One]

I Love This Photo

Because I wish I could always have this feeling (of weightlessness, of freedom, of utter bliss). Because I wish I could always be this carefree. Because I wish I still had that sweet childlike innocence. 
Because I wish this is all it would take for my many worries to simply fade away.

Matthew 6

 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the fields, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you-- you of little faith? 

So do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat? What shall we drink? What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

                      --Matthew 6:25-34

Ridiculous

Because that's currently how I'm feeling about this whole holiday (New Year's Eve/Day). Honestly, it seems a bit ridiculous to me. Well anyway, Sam and Ellie wish you a happy New Year (if you're into that sorta thing)

And yeah, if this photo is a sign of what's in store for the future... Lord help us all.

Tree Decorating

"O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn."

I Love It When He Plays

Because when his fingers touch those keys

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Just Get Me Through December

"How pale is the sky that brings forth the rain

As the changing of season prepares me again

For the long bitter nights and the wild winter's stay

My heart has grown cold, my love stored away

My heart has grown cold, my love stored away...

Just get me through december

A promise I'll remember

Get me through december

So I can start again."

Some Serious Snowball Throwing

Snowballing. 

It's no longer a fun game, it's a serious sport.

On My Nose and Eyelashes

"Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favorite things."

First Snowfall

Looking forward to the many more that will come.

Craziness, Hilarity, Family...

I love this photo for more reasons than I could list. You know that saying, a picture is worth a thousand words? 

I'm pretty sure that applies here.
