Love this Song!!

This especially struck a chord with me being in the Navy that really we won't find that perfect place to be until Heaven and then what joy that will bring. We've seen Edinburgh, London, Paris, etc. but Heaven is so much better  . . . it has Jesus and that is all we need!

As I was playing this song today little J said to me "What city do we like?" (Ok, that is just sooo cute!) I said, "Heaven". He said "Ok" and I told him. "Jesus is there and that is all we need."

C enjoying Bible Club

C has been LOVING his church Bible club. He has been working hard on his Bible memorization and doing so well. He has some GREAT club leaders which is such a blessing.

Today when I was helping him I told him he was supposed to draw a picture of his favorite thing that God has created. I asked him what he was going to draw and he said "my family".

As I was reading the passage out of the Bible for C I got to the verse before the verse that says "but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord" and C said "But someone found grace in the eyes of the Lord"! He knew that verse was coming. His Bible class this year is so good. May he hide all this in his heart.

A learning new things . .

"A" started a class at church learning sign language for songs so they can perform as a ministry at an event this month. She has worked hard and was picked for a small "solo". She has found she REALLY enjoys sign language A LOT and wants to continue learning it! We'll see if that happens. May it someday be used for God's glory!

Twins

CG now calls B "Da" and B calls CG "Kitty". Very cute and sweet!

In the video above you can hear B say "Awesome!" when she fits a puzzle piece.

B is very talkative and C is quieter but very compassionate.

Funny J Stories

Story 1 --J was in the van with Daddy and me and we were on our way to pick up one of the vans at Walmart after being serviced. He knew Daddy was leaving for Germany soon and was confused thinking Daddy was taking the van to Germany. He asked Daddy "How far away is Germany?" Anyway, he seemed to think he was going too and it was explained to him that just daddy was going. He said "Well, I guess I am going to Walmart." HILARIOUS!!! Then Daddy said that maybe someday he could come to Germany with him and J said (not harshly but just matter of factly) "I am trying." We get the biggest kick out of him! He just said these statements so matter of factly we enjoyed our life moment of humour.


Story 2-- He has had a problem lately that if I am not in the room that he thought I was in he will start screaming and crying and in my words freaking out. On one occasion I heard him do this and he was in the room with the twins and one of the twins was trying to kindly talk to him and he cried in sadness "I am thinking about Mommy!"

Story 3--Another day J did this and I talked with him about how it is dangerous when you are scared to "freak out" because that means you are not thinking things through and that can be dangerous. I said instead of freaking out he needs to calmly call out "Mommy, Mommy" and if he is scared he needs to pray. He immediately walked into another room and I heard him talking (I don't know what he said or if he was praying or what) but he then started walking and calmly calling out my name and trying it out! SOOO CUTE!!!! I praised him!!

Story 4-- One day J asked me to go downstairs with him to get a drink but then he stopped and said "I will go myself. God is with me!" and he went!

Funny 5-- He calls the twins "his babies".

Funny 6-- He often says the phrase. "Sure you can!"

Funny 7-R, CA, and J and I went on Saturday morning to buy our weekly doughnuts. The set up at the grocery story is strange in that the cart goes down one side of the checkout and the customer down the other. So the boys all went down the side with the cart which had J in it. J saw the check out lady scanning things and he took it as her buying things. He looked at his brother and said "Quick! Get me out of here before she buys me!! We got a kick out of that!!

Jedidiah Sweetness

Today Jedidiah said to me "I am glad God gave you to me."

Later he asked me to go downstairs with him and then he said "God is with me! I will go myself!"

Dear comments for my mommy memory.

Sweet J

J told me today he loved me and said "Did God give me to you?" He remembers me telling him that before! I said "Yes" and something to the effect that we are so blessed He did. He likes hearing that which is so sweet!
