Celebrating God's goodness

March brings two significant days of rejoicing in God’s goodness to our family. On the 10^th, we celebrated Luke’s 7^th birthday. And today we celebrated Emmaleigh’s 5^th birthday.

These are precious days.

Of course, they are fun times of unique celebrations: breakfast in bed with a special cereal chosen (Luke picked S’Mores, Emmaleigh picked Cocoa Puffs) , a favorite meal for dinner (Luke – barbeque chicken wings, barbeque chips and brown beans; Emmaleigh – spaghetti and salad); a special themed cake that they choose and Bobbi makes (Luke – skateboard; Emmaleigh – Strawberry Shortcake… the doll, not the actual dessert); a party with friends and family; and, of course, presents.

These are days of reflection, as we gratefully rejoice in God’s goodness in providing another year of life and precious memories to our family. They are also days of earnest dependence… we do not know what this year will bring and we trust in God for His continued grace to lead us to shepherd the hearts of our children well.

Happy birthday, Lukey and Emmy. You are a precious gift that God has entrusted us with.
