above all things, put on LOVE!

2011-01-17T14:11:00.000-08:00

i love this verse, and its charge!

"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-17"

this was a Christmas present for my brother-in-law&sister-in-law, Neal & Sara!{xoxox}

it was one of the scriptures used in their wedding!

I am a firm believer that even in our best moments with the best intentions we forget what's important.

Life gets busy, the phone rings, we forget, the agenda takes over, we're curt, we get stressed, we get in a hurry and forget that instead of all those unnatural 'by-products' of our life; as believers; we REALLY are to be humble, and compassionate, and kind and gentle and patient.....

..and if you're like me:: a parent; then the moment that toy goes flying across the living room, AGAIN and 'bonks' someone in the face, I need to look up and see the words, PUT ON LOVE!!

For Lauren :: Merry Christmas

I love surprises. Of any kind. Birthdays. Gifts. Playing hide and go seek and sneaking up on an unsuspecting tiny! I love the idea that someone thinks of you! Even loves you so much that they plan something in advance, just for you. Or seeks you out. I have come to love the element of surprise that Christmas morning brings in our house. With tinys 5 1/2, 3 1/2 & 2 you can imagine it doesn't need to be Christmas morning to have surprises!!! but there is something extra sweet about Christmas morning. I long for that moment of surprise and wonder on their face even over a silly toy. We love the opportunity to explain why we give gifts.

I love the surprise that Jesus made as a King coming into this world in a stable. Throwing aside every expectation His people had of what their king was supposed to be. the surprise the shepherds must have experienced when as An angel appeared to them telling them of a baby wrapped in cloth lying in a manger. And their surprise turned to joy and praise as they greeted him! Out tiniest, Lucy sang Jesus happy birthday on Christmas night as we put her to bed, then she said we had to blow out the candles....unprompted, it was a sweet moment and reminder of the best tiny surprise ever; baby Jesus.

This canvas was a surprise for a sweet friend of mine : Lauren. It was her Christmas present from her hubby. This was one i had a hard time parting with, I have this spot on my living room wall beckoning for it! Needless to say. It has a new home. Merry Christmas Lauren. May the words prompt you to remember whats important, who made you, to whom you belong, and who crafted the best surprise ever : GOD.

so why is there ALWAYS a bird??

if you know me, i have this crazy obsession with birds...

not live ones..painted ones!!

my hope is that as she gets older, Annie has a deep passion and love for jesus

and she can't help but remember the freedom she has in

Christ and finds comfort in this verse!
