These are our five children here on earth God has graciously blessed us with! My prayer and desire is that all our children will love God with all their heart and serve him with their life. May God shower them with blessings from above. Blessings that will have eternal value!

Showers of Blessings

by Daniel W. Whittle

There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.

Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.



There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honor Thy Word.

There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!

There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.

Gifts from God

 I did a photo shoot with our children at the park yesterday. Here are a couple of pictures that inspired me. Children are such a blessing and bring a lot of joy to the world!

Children are a blessing; a gift from God. They were already a gift in the womb before they were born.
"Truly children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward" (Psalm 127:3).
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that fully well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" (Psalm 139:13-16).

 

 [Jesus] And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me..."
Matthew 18:2-5
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 18:10

⁵ He established a testimony in Jacob
and appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
⁶ that the next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
⁷ so that they should set their hope in God
and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments;Psalm 78:5-7

 

Sisters and Best Friends

(My girls, Emily and Kati-Lyn)

Sisters

Our roots say we're sisters

Our hearts say we're friends

Born in one family

Makes it friendship God sends

 Staying together as family

Friendship formed by love

Through life's stairway

Frienship from above

So was God's design

With very good reason

Giving us sisters as friends

Growing together each season

What a perfect plan

God had in mind

So special and good

Is our Father's design
