Its a good reminder to me of my human nature that needs to stumble its way to God's throne. Thank you for letting us see so many pictures of your sweet family. And thanks again for sharing your heart. Also, I really have giggled repeatedly over the "spankin spoons" story. I grew up with those kind of spoons too, and I'm glad that my very first verse I memorized was "children obey your parents, for this is right." Not that I always obeyed...in fact, I was a little rebel at times, but you know, that verse stuck in my head. And anytime I got a spankin, I sure deserved it and I learned a lesson...and I always knew that my parents loved me SO much because they would tell me. Your dear Emily knows that you love her - it is so apparent! You and Jason are fantastic parents. What a gift Em has in you. May God bless you much this week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-29792885871615482412007-02-22T17:06:00.000-07:002007-02-22T17:06:00.000-07:00I am inspired by your website!

So out of my concern to protect my oldest from worrying all day, I told him that they wanted to make sure that I did not knock my eyeballs loose in the car accident. He knew immediately that I was not being totally honest with him. so I had to explain to him what was going on. Afterwards he put his arms around me and gave the biggest hug ever and told him he would be there for me no matter what. He is only 6, he also said that God can still do miracles if something major is wrong. Thank God that my son believes in a miracle working God. I have not heard anything, but I know whatever the outcome good or bad, my Saviour loves me and my children and will do anything to protect us. Just like we do with our kids.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006625086943270898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-19118563201954250062007-02-21T15:10:00.000-07:002007-02-21T15:10:00.000-07:00Its just life isnt it though, you fall down and it...Its just life isnt it though, you fall down and it hurts...but getting up makes you ten times stronger.My daughter is 4 yrs old and is exactly the same, she falls over thin air, and she gets so mad so after 5 minutes of drama and smacking and shouting at the floor(even in public) shes fine, but now my son is just about walking and he's like like a drunk little man, and its fantastic to see her comforting him when he falls down and hurts himself.Its like he has 2 mothers.Anyway happy tripping........be careful lol xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-76800162510018660362007-02-21T14:59:00.000-07:002007-02-21T14:59:00.000-07:00Adrienne you put tears in my eyes today.

You are doing that for Em, and you did that for Noah, from everything that I have read here. What a beautiful picture of grace and mercy your children have seen in you being real with them! Our son had his 5th surgery since july yesterday, and he is questioning things like God's grace and mercy right now (he is 10 with a deep, abiding faith). I have been sharing with him some of my own frustrations and struggles so that he knows he is not alone in his questioning, but most importantly, so that I can point him towards the Lord who knows his hurt and feels his pain so much more than I ever will. Thank you for reminding me here today that this is a vital part of parenting- seeing them hurt and hurting with them but knowing that the Father loves them even more! <BR/>I have been blessed to read your words in your blog. Thank you for being so willingly used to reach people who may never see you face to face. I thank God for you sister!

I also received a call last week from my almost 4-year-old's preschool teacher identifying him as a "toe-walker;" that is the source of his constant state of imbalance. So now when we fall in my house, we will be happily thinking of you and Em!

Here's a story for Em.. When I was about 6 months pregnant I was photographing a wedding and was trying to position myself "just right" to get the perfect picture of the bride with her bridemaids on a diving board. Needless to say, I stepped backwards into the pool (cold water)in front of all the guests at the reception!! Of course I spent the next hour sokaed from my knees down to remind me of my embarassing moment.Melonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629987683184352711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-53969581227132133762007-02-21T11:35:00.000-07:002007-02-21T11:35:00.000-07:00I feel your pain.

I hope the twins see that falling is OK, as long as they pick themselves up, brush off the dirt and continue on their path. If you think about it, we all have to trip down the road to Him, because we are not perfect, and as long as we get up and keep going forward, we will reach our destination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32529371.post-89764117391754915412007-02-21T11:33:00.000-07:002007-02-21T11:33:00.000-07:00jpYou such an amazing mom.......jpYou such an amazing mom.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
