Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

All in a Day's Play

It's amazing all the things we do (or our children do by themselves) to entertain our kids during the day. Here's a look at what we did today...
Wake up at 6:00
Play with baby sister
Play pillows (meaning take all the pillows off the couches and jump/waller in them)
Make breakfast together
Watch TV (while mommy has God time)
Play dolls and house (while mommy works out)
Look at pictures
Play Candy Land
Play pillows again
Play the piano and sing together
Eat a snack
Blow bubbles outside
Draw with sidewalk chalk
Play cars with baby sister
Eat lunch
Play "the game" with daddy (in other words, wrestle with daddy)
Read books
Take naps
Play with baby sister again
Play outside on the playground with Daddy
Go over to Nathan's house to play
Watch TV (while mommy puts baby sister to sleep)
Read books
Sing songs
Go to sleep at 9:00! It's been a long day!

Wow Julie, I thought I had a busy day.....perhaps there's a reason that I don't have kids!!! You amaze me. I'm glad you are home safe and sound. We already miss you here at Livonia.
Love, Cindy

Thanks for that look into the ordinary day of a mom. Each one of those activities is a gift from God. Love you, Mom

Hope that 'mommy' got to partake in the 'naps' part too. :) What a busy schedule but what a blessing to have children so full of life! -- Nicole
