My son is hilarious...

Madison is so funny. His understanding & use of phrases and big words can be pretty hilarious at times. He said two "doozies" (that's what we call em around here) when we were in FL. & I've got to write them down before I forget.
The first one was when he & ShaLyn were having a discussion or disagreement rather in the back of the Suburban on our way home from the beach. After letting them go for a while I finally said something like- "Hey you two, what's going on back there"...???
To which Madison replied- "Oh never mind mom, it's just a DOMESTIC argument".
Say what???
Of course we all cracked...
And only a short while later, during the same drive home, they got to discussing a math problem. Madison said that 12x5=60 & Shay disagreed saying its 70. So they finally decide to settle it and ask me. I did the calculation in my mind & agreed with Madison. And he says- "See Shay I knew I was right, I have a 'working relationship with my math problems'.
A working relationship with his math problems??...
Where does he come up with this stuff??
Funny funny kid:):):)

Take Time to Feel His Presence-

It is on lovely spring days like this that I absolutely love this place that God has entrusted to us!! How can one not feel His Presence here- the gentle waters of the pond & stream, the mountains surrounding us, & the wild life (turkeys in our front yard this morning):):) It is so peaceful. And while I'm here enjoying these surroundings, I think of people who are busy, & burned out, people who are serving the Lord but are longing for a quiet place to rest & refresh, and I wish that I could bring them here even if its only for a couple days. I would want them to come & feel the presence of Jesus, and rest.
So if you can't make the trip to the Haft to find your rest, I encourage you to do so somewhere. You can do it in your home if you can stop thinking of all your work;). Just stop & come into the presence of Jesus. Take time to worship him in spirit, allow yourself to be transported to that place where there is no time. Curl up on Jesus lap & rest- & receive His love, let it surround you & fill you with peace!!
