This is our family. That's me, my husband Kenney, and Isaac, our 13 month old. We live on a very small lake in the woods in central Minnesota. We love it. This picture was taken back in September (no snow and bare trees yet!)
As I sit and type and look out the window at the fresh, fluffy snow, I can’t help but offer up a prayer of thanks to the One who has blessed me so abundantly. The dishwasher is humming softly, classical music plays, and my two greatest blessings are napping so peacefully.
It is Saturday…one of my favorite days of the week. Saturday
means that Kenney is home with us, we eat breakfast and drink coffee in the
mornings together, and we don’t have much of a schedule planned. Saturdays are when we
dream. Saturdays are when we sit and just talk and ponder and wonder. We wonder
at God’s promises, His commands, His secrets. We talk about things of this
neighborhood, this nation, this world.
We are so incredibly blessed, and we want to share that, give that away. We want to be givers and give of ourselves so completely and abundantly. The amazing thing about that is we will never run out. God's blessings, His love, will never run dry. If we are in Him, we are free to give abundantly. We are free to give and give and give.
John 10:10 so powerfully says, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Do you believe that? Do you live your life hidden in Christ? We have all we need right here in Christ, and no one can take that away.
