Time with the Deel Fam

I was with Kenzie, Peyton, and John today for a little less than an hour, but you wouldn't know that from all the things we did in those few minutes. The time was action-packed with four wheeling, basket ball, being rock stars while singing and whaling on the drum set, swinging on the playground, hitting some softball, and running around in the yard.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the wonderful blessing of these children and the energy that they have and for the energy they give me. The way I feel about them reminds me of the way Your Word says you feel about Your own children. I know my earthly experience of being an aunt gives me a very small glimpse of Your love. And if my love -  being human, small, and still tainted with sin - for these kids can cause my heart to swell with joy and thankfulness, how much more must Your love, as my Heavenly Father, be for me.

Thank you for your sacrificial, compassionate, merciful, grace-filled, overwhelming, perfect, ever-present, sustaining love. You have changed me, and I will never be the same.

 I really wanted a few pics of me WITH my niece and nephews today...

them, not so much.

 She only does crazy face photos. I go with it.

LOL. This is the best one. For sure.
