At Church we have been challenged with reading the New Testament in 40 days starting Easter until Memorial Day...well if I am being completely honest, I wasn't real excited to start this challenge... work has been crazy, I am doing a Beth Moore bible study with daily homework, then the day to day "chores" of life....so I didn't start on Easter as planned....but I did find the motivation to start last night! And I'm so glad I did...as a matter of fact, I've enjoyed it so much I did 5 days worth of reading in one night! They have broken it out so it's like reading a book instead of verse by verse! And I'm LOVING IT!! I am loving reading about all the miracles our mighty savor performed. One parable I loved re-reading was about the seeds being dropped by the farmer...some seeds were dropped on the path, some fell on rock, and some fell among thorns and then some fell on good soil. Lesson of the parable: Seeds are the word of God. The ones that fall on the rocks are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it , but they have no root. They believe for a while but when times of testing come, they fall away. The seeds among the thorns stand for those who hear but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures and do not mature! OUCH!!! The seeds on good soil stands for those with a noble and good hearts who hear the word & retain it! Please Lord help me be the seeds on good soil!!
Well we had another family filled weekend! My parents, Grandma Rose and Crystal came down again this weekend to work on wedding invitations and Crystal got fitted in her wedding dress....She looks STUNNING! Eric is going to be crying like a baby when he sees her!! We had such a good time! Grams is feeling really good and we put her to work!!
Here are a few pictures from the weekend and the zoo last week!
The birds in the new Children's Zoo...I LOVE the new addition to the zoo!
Turner wasn't quiet as excited about the pretty birds!
But he did LOVE the goats...he pet every single one...I think he thought they were dogs!
Too cool for school!
His favorite part was the "river" He loved taking off his shoes and playing in the water!
