Three months old...

Here is little Caleb hanging out in his swing. It's hard to believe he is 13 weeks old. He is so fun!

God's Goodness...

Here is the new name. God's Goodness Grows. When I first set up our family blog spot I intended it for sharing photo's and updates of us and the kids. I was contacted by a lady of the name Mimi Meredith. She asked if I could change the name because it was the name of her business and similar to her Bloomin blogspot. Anyhow long story short this name was her suggestion and I see it a fine fit. The truth is that there is no goodness apart from God because he is the creator of all. Thank you God for creating all of the good in my life. You are a good God.

Today's Mercies for Today's Troubles...

"Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble". Matthew 6:34

"As your days, so shall your strength be." Duet.33:25

Day by day, and with each passing moment,
strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
gives unto each day what he deems best.
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure mingling toil with peace and rest.

These scriptures bring much encouragement to my heart. I have people that often say to me "how do you do it?" The truth? I really don't. I am thankful that I have a wonderful heavenly father that carries me through my day's and sustains me with his everlasting love. Many day's I cry out "Help, I don't want to do this any longer". But God who is not subject to my feelings or emotions meets me everyday in every moment; because HE is faithful. One thing that I have learned is that God is faithful even when we are not. God is bigger even when we think we are. God never leaves us without his mercy or grace to carry us through any circumstance. I know this not because I feel this all the time, but because it is truth, so I desperately cling to it.

Saturday Football...

I have not posted as planned. My camera broke and I am waiting to receive my gift card to go and purchase a new one. Thankfully it was under warranty. This week has been very event full. Saturday Thomas ruptured a disc in his back while playing football with some friends from church. We spent the weekend at the hospital and even got to have a one of a kind date night for the super bowl:) We watched the super bowl in the hospital room on a blotchy TV. The grass was brown and the people were red. The best part of the night was the Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Thomas was able to come home on Monday and he is doing much better. He has his nifty cane that he hobbles around with. We will be going the the doctor tomorrow to discuss what comes next. I have been blessed to have my mommies helpers and good friends to come and help out during the day. You all have brought life and encouragement into our home during a difficult time. The kids are so thankful that daddy is home and okay. Thank you all for your prayers and care. I'll keep you posted.
