  • A Season of Gratitude

    In 2 Kings 4, the widow came to Elisha.  "The creditors have come to take my sons as bondmen." she cried.  Elisha asked, "What shall I do for you?"  Her reply?  "I have nothing but a pot of oil." 

    God used what she had.  

    Miracously, she poured out of what she had until there was not a vessel left.  

    We all have "oil".  We just have to choose to pour it.  

    I choose to pour the oil . . .

    116.  Family - extended, broken but mended, large.  Like a circle unbroken but winding.  So many "steps", I give up explaining to the papooses and just extend cousin, aunt, uncle, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, grandfather, grandmother to all.  Most importantly, they are cousin, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, grandfather, grandmother.

    124.   Playing the "wake up" game with Judah.  (He snores and I dramatically with lots of tickles say, "WAKE UP!  WAKE UP!")

  • Your pictures just keeps getting better.  I love your blog too.  It is very inspirational.  Thanks

  • @tgarrett2 - Thanks so much.  I love pictures.  I love to go to people's houses and look at their photo albums.  I like pictures much better than videos.  We have tons of pics of our kids and hardly any video.  BTW, I need to look at your photo albums, don't I? lol Send me an email so I'll have your email address.  amandatrent@verizon.net
