Precious!

How come getting ready to go do errands is so much easier than getting ready to go to church? How come the whole house gets so angry just because I asked them to eat breakfast on Sunday mornings? Or put shoes on? Any other day of the week they are more than happy to get the day going. I feel like Sunday mornings are so tense sometimes between all of us. I feel that those days are the days that we need to be at church more than ever. I know the Devil is trying to get us to just not go...anything he can do to keep us from the Word he will do. If that means teaching my kid to talk back to his momma when he is normally a great rule follower then he will do it. If that means John and I argue about who is going to brush the boys teeth then that darn Devil will push for the argument to happen. Any way, shape or form of making a tiff in my house on Sunday morning he is going to do it!! ARG!!!

 

Well thankfully my love for the Lord is so strong I fought back one Sunday. John was out of town so it was just me and the boys headed to praise our God. Well, just like any other Sunday the Devil was hard at work! The boys were up to NO GOOD while getting ready to go. I was soooo close to just giving up and saying, "Fine, let's just stay home!", but I didn't. I packed the dirty rotten boys up and headed to church. I put Trever in the nursery RIGHT away. And as soon as Blake was released for Lily Pad I was MORE than happy to get him out of my sight! Please, Lord just give me 30 minutes to be with YOU!! I felt like the message that day was just for me! I came out feeling like a new Mom!! I was excited to hear what Blake learned and couldn't wait to get Trever out of the nursery and back in my arms!! As we were walking to the car I was talking to a friend and turned around to find THIS....................................

 

 

 

I snapped this picture and made it to the car just in time before the tears started rolling down my face. I am so very thankful the Lord picked me to be the mom to these beautiful little men! What a blessing they are! Some days I feel like they teach me way more than I can ever teach them! And on this specific day I am so glad I listened to my Redeemer and went to church! My dirty rotten boys, and more importantly ME, came out of church all clean from the power of the Blood!! Thank you Jesus!!!!
