| Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
"refresh my heart in the Lord" phm 1:20
How refreshing it is to have clear, CALM, sunny days...we've battled the first virus of the year! and it lost!
I didn't exactly plan on being gone on a weekend when Nathan would be taking care of 4 sick kids. Then again, I didn't plan on coming home with the same sickness that was rampant in our household...It's amazing how 1 week can change my perspective.
Last Monday we were sleeping, coughing, feeding the few kids that even felt like eating, and sleeping some more. Today we are, after the midnight run to the airport, tackling school, laundry, piano, housework...
The Lord has healed and refreshed. I'm thankful it's Monday and that I have the energy to do the things God has given me to do for the day!
  
So after being sick for the week we were so glad to see Friday come...the sun was bright, the sky clear, and not a fever to be found! We finally ventured outside, did some yardwork at Dad's and then came home to our yardwork.
I was helping the boys start on our yard, talking to Luke's before they headed out, and was just generally distracted. The little guy slipped below the radar and found himself a fun little activity!
 
He was quite mischievous and thought he'd even go after his biggest brother...
He kept himself occupied quite nicely til the boys were done with their work and Daddy pulled in for the night!
He gave me a nice little smile before turning the hose my direction...quick move.disaster.averted.
Cold...wet...shivering...ready for nice warm clothes!
And actually I'm okay with his obsession with water as long as he stays out of toilets! Which, of course, he does! There is no way that this could possible be the same handsome boy whom I found stuck in the ladies restroom at church. And for sure when I didn't find him there was not evidence to his water slinging from head to toe. There was not puddles around the toilets or water splashed on the stall doors. His mom takes way better care of him than that and knows where he is at all times!
Happy Monday!
