Abi & Asa

This little sweet sprout is coming to spend the weekend with us tomorrow.  I couldn't be more thrilled!  And though I'm sure it will not all be quite as peaceful a picture as this one, you can bet there will be fun and lively disorder here at the Bollinger cabin!  I am reminded of my prayers requesting that our home be filled with love, and once again, God is swinging that door wide open!  Might this be an "altar" if you will - a remembrance of His faithfulness.  

Might it also cause you who would read these words to consider YOUR blessings - perhaps in the form of another person who brings you joy....one who truly reflects the love of the Father - child, spouse, family or friend.  And...if you happen to be struggling with an absence of that kind of relationship, consider this; could it be that God has picked YOU to bring that kind of joy to another?  Often God opens doors for His blessings to be poured out upon us.  He also often asks US to be the light bearers so that His joy can continue to thread hearts together into a very large and colorful tapestry.   

Tomorrow we will participate in a beautiful blessing - our grandchild bringing life to our home.  I know that in the days ahead there will be plenty of opportunity for me to pass His joy to another.  May I recognize it and allow it to continue!
