"Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."This past Wednesday, Josh and I were helping out in the Ambassadors Class (teens) with the Brownings. This is our memory verse which the Lord has been reminding me of all week.
You're probably wondering why I have pictures of a messy kitchen floor and a half clothed baby in this posting. I'll explain:
It really was one of those days. I was sick from the moment I woke up and was just dragging all day long to do my everyday household duties. I had just swept my kitchen floor when along comes a half clothed baby in yellow. How sweet and innocent she looked until...........the cereal incident. I found cute little innocent Myah sitting in a pile of cereal on my once clean kitchen floor. I felt myself get frustrated with her when this verse came to mind. The Lord has a way of keeping me in check. I grabbed my camera, snapped some shots, and made the most of a cute silly moment made by my precious daughter. Getting frustrated at her would've snatched away an opportunity to enjoy her. I'm learning to enjoy my children while they're lent to me. We must make the most of every moment because we don't know what a day may bring forth.

Okay, if that's not the sweetest post ever... and then you have this sweet little song playing in the background, and now I'm here crying with Dan asking me why. I don't usually cry when I read blog posts... but the music and the photos with your articulate words... you are quite a writer! Your precious post was just perfect and a complete blessing to me!
How many times do those things happen in a week... spilled things, messy jobs, fogotten tasks... it can be so frustrating when compounded times 3 children or 4 or 5 or...), what a beautiful reminder that we know not what tomorrow brings. There is another verse about not worrying about tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself(total paraphrase). THANK YOU for a great moment.
Cindee . . . beautiful post. I know that feeling of having half dressed little girls sitting atop of a mound of cereal. I too, was at first speechless, and in shock. Then I took some snapshots. You know that you will always look back on that "could have been" frustrating moment with laughter in your heart! Enjoyed reading . . . it was a blessing. Thank you for sharing your heart and a reminder to "hide the word in our hearts."
