Yesterday I'd been in the house for five minutes after bringing Avery home from school when Amanda and Aiden came tearing into the house. Mom LOOK! Its SPRING!! Look, there are flowers growing! They couldn't have been more excited to tell and show me.
Then I saw that they's picked the only living things in our yard. I couldn't say anything to them. After I shared in their excitement of all things Spring, Amanda said, Well, I'm going to go put these back so they can keep growing!
Today they were out again (though you can't tell its a different day from Amanda's clothes :) this time building condos for ants. They had a whole system going on....Aiden was the lookout man and Amanda was the catcher, or so it seemed from my casual observation point while raking.
At one point Aiden came to me dejectedly and said, The ant died. I said, Oh, he did? Aiden said, Yeah, cause he wanted to be with Jesus.
Very much feeling this song today.
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart.
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again.
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
not because of who i am
but because of what you done
not because of what i done
but because of who you are
not because of who i am
but because of what you done
not because of what i done
but because of who you are
i am the flower quickly fading
here today and gone tomorrow
a wave tossed in the ocean(ocean)
a vapor in the wind
still you here me when i call you
lord you catch me when im falling
and you told me who i am (i am)
i am yours, i am yours ,i am yours.
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
i just had to laugh. When Phil was Amandas age he came running in the house because he had picked me a whole bunch of tulips for me. The problem was, I did not have tulips in my yard. He was so excited. But I had to ask where did you pick these pretty flowers? At the house next to ours. I explained how we don't pick others flowers. Explain to the neighbor and she just laughed.
