No Better Place!

It's hard to believe, but Memorial Day weekend came and went this year already! That is the one weekend we look forward to, in the spring, because the boys know once we get there school is just about out. We are all ready for summer break this year! It's been a good year, but long it seems. Anyway, we are just about there with only 1 more day to go. Hallelujah! 

Our holiday weekend was filled with a few things, but overall we were able to be home and enjoy it together as a family. In my book, no better place to be with the people I love most!

Later that evening, when we were done swimming and cleaning up we had our family meeting. In this house, everyone has a voice, so we like to sit down once a week and get things in order. It is pretty much conducted like a business meeting and we always start with prayer. Usually, Brenton leads prayer for us, during our meeting, but Colin asked to do it this time and it was the cutest thing ever.  It warmed my heart and yes, brought tears to my eyes. He truly was giving it is all, we couldn't make out the words, but he was speaking his mind and then you clearly heard Amen!  It's amazing how God works, because you're not always sure what Colin comprehends (since he can't speak plainly just yet), however, God spoke right to me and at that moment I knew Colin absolutely, 100% understands! As he was praying, Proverbs 22:6 came to my mind....Train a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it. ♥
