FUN TIMES!!

Secret House

Kate and Braden had fun in their "secret house" this morning. They loaded up their backpacks with books and moved on in. I'm glad our new gymnastics mat can be used for more than just gymnastics!

The Marker Bandit strikes our house

The Marker Bandit struck my friend Cindy's house (see her link to the right) and apparently moved on to our house.

Gymbugs!

I took Braden to a mommy and me Gymbugs class this morning while Kate was at school. He wasn't quite sure what he thought about it at first, but by the end of the class he had pretty much caught on to what it was all about. We're both excited to try it again next week. He showed off some of his "moves" on his new indoor trampoline when we got home.

It’s sometimes very difficult

for us to understand

the wisdom and the love behind

the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow

If we didn’t have the rain;

We wouldn’t know the pleasure

If we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise

If we hadn’t felt the night;

And we wouldn’t know our weakness

If we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime

or the yellow daffodil

if we hadn’t experienced

the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine

is something God has made.

He knew too much could parch our souls

so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance:

Enough joys to keep us glad,

Enough tears to keep us humble,

Enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see

Though yesterday brought sorrow,

The clouds will part and dawn will bring

A happier tomorrow.

This poem was in my daily devotion today. I thought I'd share it!
