Two Boys

What would it be like to have two boys? Overwhelming at first thought, diaper changes, formula by the gallon, crying echoing through our paper thin walls, money tightening, and parental challenges that would come.. somehow just a glance at my two little ones and all these dark clouds are pierced with the little lights beaming up at their mommy.

What is it like? Twice the giggles, twice the messes (as Josiah puts it, "big mess mommy, big mess"). All the fun that our hearts can hold and precious moments to drive away any rainy day. Recently a colleague was telling me she was so bored during our recent storm and I thought quietly, "you know, I was enjoying relaxing with a precious family, that I cherish so"

Just thought you should see what I mean:


Just so cute :)

Wow!
They are growing up so fast.
I think the cure for boredom and loneliness is living abandoned to Jesus... :)

As I'm looking at these pictures I think of Psalm 128 for you guys... especially verse 3! Olive plants all around your table :D

1 Blessed is every one who fears the LORD,
Who walks in His ways.

2 When you eat the labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the LORD.

5 The LORD bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.

6 Yes, may you see your children's children.
Peace be upon Israel!

love,
Micah
