Those of you who already have children or spend a lot of time with little ones may have noticed that God often speaks through them! He teaches us things through our children, which always amazes me!
We have been experiencing A LOT of rain lately....A LOT! One morning recently, as E and I were walking J up to his school...in the rain, all decked out in our rain gear, leaping over puddles.........or into puddles, I should say! Jacoby just out of the blue, in the most cheerful voice, said, "You know, Mom, the sun is out and shinning behind all of those clouds!" I just stopped and looked at him, as he continued jumping through the water.
I don't remember ever talking in that much detail with him about the weather--not about the sun being behind the clouds anyway. Maybe he learned it at school, or maybe he figured it out on his own, because he is a smart little guy. Any way you look at it, God was using him to speak to me. It was just one of those moments that made my heart smile, and something that I will always remember during stressful or difficult times. No matter what we are going through, God will always see us through as long as we rely on Him. He can take the bad and turn it into something good. We may have to go through some rainy, stormy times, but He will carry us through and bring us out stronger on the other side!
I love the way God uses our kids to teach us and grow us. The blog looks great and I love seeing pictures and hearing about what you're doing! Hope you have fun with it, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI so agree that God uses our kids to speak to us. There have been so many times that Whitney would say something so simple, but yet it had a profound meaning to something I was facing. Your blog looks great! So when does your book club meet? Just let me know, so I can check my schedule. I hope to go walking with or at least see you sometime soon. Take care!!
