I remember...

Happy Tuesday! I was tickled when a friend of mine invited us to enjoy a nice morning in the park today with some other girlies & their kiddo's! It's been awhile since I have taken Avery on a playdate so I glady accepted the invite! We have been staying inside because of the HOT weather! She was so sweet on the swing.






The rest of the day we napped & finished up some cleaning!

Chad had a guys night & did some fantacy football drafts with the boys, so Avery & I enjoyed spending the evening with a friend having dinner at Chick-Fil-A! Avery loves that place & ate up french fries like they were going out of style! It's so fun that I now can order her a kid's meal!

And finally, I have ended my day in the word. I hate when I don't make time for it & feel so much better when I get finished reading. I read a verse that I absoluetely loved tonight. "Honest balances & scales are the Lords; all the weights are in the bag". God is there for a purpose. I always try to handle the worldy things that go on but at the end of the day, they are God's- not mine to worry about. I love reading this verse & "handing the bag" to the Lord. It's like, "here you go, I trust you will fix it".

Sometimes I get so emotional about life & think that I have some things so hard. But, then I remember a friend that has cancer. I remember a friend that doesn't know the Lord. I remember a friend that just lost a loved one. I remember a friend that can't have children. I remember a friend that lost a baby. I remember a family member who is batteling a horrible disease. I remember a friend that goes through chemo & is very sick. I remember a friend that feels alone. I remember a friend that doesn't have family in their life. I remember a friend who's husband just left them. I remember a friend who lost their job. I remember a friend that has it so tough right now w/ 3 kids that she works 3 jobs & goes to school just to survive. I remember a friend that raises her child alone.

God reminded me of all of these things today & I am so thankful. I sat & cried when I read that verse & these things came immediately to my mind. Don't take your life lightly or for granted; enjoy each moment & hand the "weights" to God.
