Our joy ~ March 1st, 2013

It's Friday! Time to share with you the blessing and joy God has given me this week.

 

I am feeling so thankful for my brother today. I had the chance to spend some quality time with him last night and we talked about life and reflected on our love we have for our family. I am so blessed to have him as my brother. He opens my eyes to appreciate qualities in people that can be so easily over looked. I am so proud of him and the man of God he is becoming. And I am thankful that we have grown so much closer as brother and sister these past few months.

 

I am also feeling so thankful for the people in my life that are continuing to pray for me as I have to live life on earth without my sweet Ezra. I have received notes and special gifts that have touched me. I am so humbled that people I don't even know very well are praying for me, taking time to think of me, and show me love.

 

Here are some of the other times that have brought me much joy this week;

We had a cozy family movie night during one of the snow storms and watched Cars 2.

Levi insisted on wearing his snow boots.

 

Watching Levi dance and giggle with the "baby" he sees in the refection of the stove window.

 

And stare, lovingly, into the other baby's eyes.

 

Watching Levi pretend to cook like mommy,with the oven mitt actually on his hand.

(It's been on his foot and his head before)

Then watching him do everything else that night, still wearing the oven mitt.

Playing basketball with Daddy...

...and playing "drums" on his pot

(complete, with snow boots)

 Watching Levi be glued to the TV while watching Veggie Tales.

 

And I am so thankful for my little Ezra. He points me toward eternity everyday.

 

 

Thank you Lord, for blessing me with gifts that I do not deserve.

 

" He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God" - Psalm 40:3

 

I invite you all to make a joyful noise to the Lord with me and, in the comments, share the blessings that you are thankful for.

 

Have a blessed weekend!
