On a much smaller scale

John and I walked downstairs several nights ago after tucking our children into bed giggling at God's sense of humor. We started back over their Bible Story book and read the Creation Story. That day had been our big spring break trip to Macon :) to make a new friend at the Build a Bear Workshop. We had a ball! We went with Ek's friend Caroline's brothers and her mom, my friend Christy. Ek came home with a new friend, Pelly the cat and H came home with Samson the dog. Really- for a boy whose face turns into 12 faces of fear at the sight of a dog, he sure loves to talk about one. And he has on a full football uniform. Pelly is completely girly with a sparkly dress, sparkly shoes, a pink headband and a cell phone. Yeah, I know. So we are reading that night about God creating the world and it was just too easy to talk about what we had done. We gave them a heart. And God gave us a heart to love him. We gave them a bath. Jesus has washed us clean from all our sins. We clothed them. Jesus clothes us in righteousness. We named them and now care for them. God created us and knows us by name and cares for us. It is always great to be able to teach them from their day and that day was way too easy. They are such a joy to be around and a joy to talk to. We had a great time with our friends! And Pelly and Samson are adjusting to life here pretty well.
