Yesterday's Moment of the Day (MotD):

Thad discovered a super cool evangelism tool from Pastor Mark (our Pastor of Missions @ OTBC) called the EvangeCube. It is super cool and he loved talking about the Salvation story with it.  I found one yesterday at a Christian bookstore and bought it for him.  He hasn't put it down since!  He and Hudson are walking around practicing the preschool version of the Gospel, for fun!  How cool?!

In light of the new year and my desire to focus on God's blessing in my life, I am going to try to post moment(s) of the day.

Here goes...

Jason is out of town and the boys and me were having a yummy family (breakfast) dinner. They were saying all kinds of random things when Hudson blurted out "Jesus died on the cross!"

I said, "He sure did honey. Why did Jesus die on the cross?" I expected him to say something like 'because He loves me' or even 'I don't know."

Instead, his precious 2 year old self shouted "FOR MY SINS. HIM DIED FOR MY SINS!"

I just about cried! Faith like a child...Thank you Lord for allowing my children to begin to hide Your Word in their hearts!

The End

Early morning truths

In the process of rebuking Thad this morning, the following took place:

Me: Thad. That is unacceptable! I will not have you doing that to my furniture.

Thad: YOUR furniture?! It's GOD'S furniture! EVERYTHING belongs to Him Mom!!!

What 's a mom supposed to do with that?!

Peez Mama...

Hudson's precious moment of the day:

"Peez put on my rainbow coat and I go outside and pay my byself. Ok Mama?"

(Please put on my raincoat so I can go outside and play by myself. Ok Mama?)

The sweet words of babes. Warms my heart!

God according to Thad

Here was today's revelation:

(...random discussion of David and Goliath...)

Thad: Yeah Hudson, because God is...He's just everything! He can make a lamp to His feet. Dude, He can make His feet LAMPS!!!

Now that's one powerful God my friends!

Can a girl get a break?

Taking the ok from my friend Christy and I'm gonna complain a minute about food...

You know those super convenient bagged salads? The ones you just dump out and, provided the date on the bag is accurate, you have a lovely salad in, oh say, 15 seconds? Well, I love them. Really love them. Eat-them-several-times-a-week love them. I've been trying to avoid eating the typical "toddler lunch" at my house and have been throwing all kinds of yummy things into those super handy, super convenient, super tasty (can ya tell I think they're SUPER) salads into a bowl and having at it.

To make them even more super, I've discovered they come in flavors. You heard me. Flavors. With all of the really cool add ins right in the bag! Feta cheese, sesame seeds, soy nuts, crasins, low fat dressing - your mouth watering yet?! Couple that with the fun little sales at Harris Teeter and you've got your self a SAHM's dream lunch!

With one big "but..."

They give me mouth ulcers. Big, yucky, long-lasting mouth ulcers. Hard to brush your teeth or eat anything acidic mouth ulcers. I discovered this years ago in high school when those really nifty little bags first came out but had completely forgotten until my mouth randomly exploded with ulcers 2 days ago.

Sad. Really sad I tell you. What's a girl to do?
