You've made me giggle a little and definitely reminded me I need to hide His word in my heart too. It's so easy to get busy and gloss over the things that are most important in our lives. We went to a marriage seminar last weekend that talked about "hiding his word in our hearts" and I think it's no coincidence that you chose those exact words!sewtakeahikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787842449238535140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584975888897816792.post-5275173677702612182009-05-25T08:37:36.204-04:002009-05-25T08:37:36.204-04:00Hey Melody!!!

And you know what I think? I t...What a sweet post! And you know what I think? I think that the Lord enjoys watching you play catch in the back yard with your son, that He enjoys going to Little League games with you, and that He loves watching you nurture your husband and your son. AND I think the Lord would probably take that chocolate piece that's shaped like a heart because He is sentimental! After all, the Bible is a love song to us. :-)<br /><br />Those things with your son and your husband are true accomplishments, and when they're done as unto the Lord, they are even sweeter. <br /><br />I have found that I can hide His word in my heart even at the busiest occasion and draw on it, and I can dwell on Him and thank Him while watching screaming children play or women at a banquet giving speeches. Just stop in the middle of that chaos, that baseball game or playing catch, and dwell on (enjoy) the fact that He is right there with you, smiling at you for loving your family, your friends, or others. <br /><br />I am reminded of something I learned as a young child in the Presbyterian Church. Q: What is the chief end of man? A: The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever! And when you think of how much joy He feels when you enjoy the fact that He's accompanying you and thank Him for it, it can make your whole day complete! It does mine! :-)<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584975888897816792.post-79750737362744661442009-05-19T08:38:00.000-04:002009-05-19T08:38:00.000-04:00Slowing down is always so hard isn't it?

I'm a grandmother now, and I look at my grown children and wonder how the years could have possibly gone by so quickly. You are so wise to savor these days and years. The time you invest in your family will give you multiplied blessings.<br />I'd love to join you for a cup of tea.

I had to laugh with the book. My children would have loved this one (they are all grown now). We had a dog named Wishbone. One Christmas, the kids fed him some smoked turkey....(he was an inside dog).....let's just say that from then on they followed my rule about not feeding the dog the table scraps. LOL. On the candy, it is so hard to pick one....if I knew there was coconut or marshmallow hiding inside...that would be the one I would chose. The heart shaped also looked good! blessings,KathleenEggs In My Pockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17229803318817119532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584975888897816792.post-17578660184880823752009-05-18T11:45:00.000-04:002009-05-18T11:45:00.000-04:00Time, yes, it does seem to whip by faster and fast...Time, yes, it does seem to whip by faster and faster.
