Brennan
Hannah's planting chums topic this week is fave foto. (Make sure to check it out. The give-aways are simply outstanding...sunglasses, purse, prints and more) How in the world do you pick a favorite photo? My home is filled with pictures. I have a wall filled with black and whites, shelves overflowing with frames, scrapbooks with images next to doodles thoughts, and a computer jammed full of digital pictures waiting to be printed. So I had to pick one....or maybe two.And then I remembered this picture of Brennan. We were at a church picnic at a house on a lake near our home. It's a beautiful old farm house that the owners use as a mission of service. They rent it out for weddings, youth retreats, and more. And there, they have this old swing tied high to a tall stately tree. Brennan spotted it immediately.
Mom....PLEASE? Can I? Can I? Please???
Of course I told him yes. Even though he was only four, and the swing at parts was really high. High. Not little-bitty high, but feeling like you are flying high. I let him try it even though he seemed so little and the swing so big. And he loved it. I saw my little guy laughing with freedom and joy. So I took out this old digital camera I had and started taking pictures. And for some beautiful reason, I caught his utter enjoyment.
Twice.
Freedom!

On a different note, I won't be around for the next two days. I'm helping to lead a women's retreat for our church. We're basing it off of the video series Measureless Love by Beth Moore. This world quantifies everything, and it is all too easy to put the love the Lord has for us in that category. But, friends, that is so far from the truth. Truth is? His love is beyond anything we can imagine. Will you pray that the women coming are blessed and that their hearts are ready to receive this truth?
...may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ... (Ephesians 3:18)
