Day 2

Well it's been a few days since I posted anything. We have been really involved in many things going on. My daughter and her family were here a few days and boy does that change things up. It is a delight to have them over. We have so much fun with them playing, chasing, tickling, teasing and watching their expressions and responses as they learn. We can never get enough of them. 
The babies are our grand-babies. River will be 1 year old in 5 days and Roman is 3. 
Having children that young around, our schedule is adjusted differently than what has become normal for us. It takes a different type of expectations and schedule for the littles because their needs are so many and become priority. 
Yes, that does mean sacrifice. Oh wait that is the meaning of parenting isn't it? Ha! Who knew parenting would be described as sacrifice and work. The rewards are so much greater than what the sacrifices are and also last much longer. I love being a parent. 
I have enjoyed watching all of our children grow and become productive adults. Some are still getting there. We still have an 18 yr old and 10 yr old at home. The 18 yr old is discovering what adulting means. Some days he enjoys it and some days he wants to just crawl back to a few years ago when life wasn't so demanding. I could probably join him too and I understand how he feels.

    Growing up is one sacrifice after another. You sacrifice naptime when you get to a certain age, you sacrifice playing with friends for homework. You sacrifice friday nights at the movies to work a job so you can buy a car. You sacrifice buying that really cute pair of boots so you can pay your first light bill. You sacrifice time spent frivoulously to build a relationship sith your new spouse. You sacrifice sleep to care for your new baby.... And on and on..... That last part reminds me of the oh so popular phrase, "I don't want to adult today."

Dear Holy Father,  I am humbled to be viewed as precious in your eyes. Thank you for taking on my sin so that I could take on your righteousness. Please help me to see myself as you see me, help me to thrive in your beauty as a woman of worth. Show me what you have created me to be and show me what gifts you have given to me. I know that I was made for a purpose and I know that everything I need to accomplish that purpose is in me. Father, I ask you to open my eyes so that I can see me the way you see me, with your glory and your beauty. Help me to understand my part and all that you have given me to do in this life. Thank you, my heavenly Father, for making me complete. Your love is more than enough, your Grace is more than I can understand and more than I deserve. Yet you gave it all to me just because you love me. You continually show me who I am in you. I love you, my Father.

We host the Holy Spirit wherever we go. We are his transport the Holy Spirit is not our servant. He is like Alfred is to Batman. You live like Batman, in secret, doing good. God says, "I will reward you in the open, like Bruce Wayne. What would Batman be, without Alfred? Alfred was his guide, his conscience, his best friend. Batman walked away from all of it because it wasn't helping his heart. He came back for Revenge. As he was working towards that, even the opportunity for Revenge was taken from him. At his lowest point, he chose to do it God's way. Alfred suggested this way when Batman was in combat training to be a ninja. He was driven by his passion for Revenge, when he hit rock bottom at the end of himself he was able to hear the Holy Spirit and do it His way. Super-Man has nothing. He has no sidekick and turns away anyone that offers to help him. He acts like he needs only himself but comes up short each time. Lois Lane has him wrapped around her finger he...
