Visiting

It's going to be very, very hard to leave.

One thing that's really struck me coming here is the fact that Holly has always surrounded herself with God's Word. She has Bible verses stuck everywhere in their house, kitchen cupboards, bathroom mirror, décor etc.  This morning we read Isaiah 55 together.  When we got to vs. 10 -11
For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
¹¹ So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

I told Holly that for me, it was God's promise that all His word, with His promises, His comforts, His tender love were there richly for her.  She treasured His word all along and He will not leave her now!

Hot day

What you do to stay cool

When you don't have a pool!

They Call it Throw Back Thursday

But really they are precious moments and memories

 that we are given as a gift

 to go back over and savor

 and yet also to remember that life is frail and children grow up.

But that God never changes. "For I am the LORD, I do not change" Malachi 3:6a
