Be Still

Camden had fun playing with his Match Box cars this morning. Then we headed off for some skating fun. He did so much better this time and a whole lot less body slamming the floor. He still thinks that it would be cooler if they had ramps! Last night he thought that it would be so awesome to build a long stick out of Tinker Toys and stick it in the ceiling fan. Fortunately no one was injured and the fan still works. 
This afternoon while we were outside playing with Bentley, I looked up and noticed the most amazing beautiful blue sky. I have been so busy these past few weeks that I haven't even stopped to catch my breath and I don't know what my name is sometimes! I truly believe that God knows when we need to be still and know that He is there and that He is God. As I was taking all of this in and just being still for a moment, I also noticed something else, that I probably would have over looked on any other day. Tim had gotten me a cute little rose bush for Mother's Day. It turned into a very dry tumbleweed over the summer and I knew there was no hope for it. I just happened to look down and there was an ever so tiny little rose on it. Just another little reminder from God. Exactly what I needed.

  1. How beautiful is that! And the clouds were amazing! Such a pretty blue sky with white clouds. I think you hit the nail on the head. You need to step back every now and then and take it all in...smell the roses!

    Camden, Aunt Sue is proud of you for practicing your skating. Maybe some day I will get to see you skate.
