Kids to church

 Someone posted this and I could'nt agree more. It is so important to get kids to church, to start them at a young age and make it a routine, make it a priority. Skipping church is easy and people can find every excuse. Satan would love for you to stay home on Sunday's and sleep in and focus on yourself. All  kids need to be in church  hearing., learning, and knowing Jesus. To all the Mamas (and Daddy’s) out there...

Bring them to church. Saturate their lives with the Word of God. Even if they lay in the floor. Even if they need 2 cups of milk and 437 goldfish and a sucker to be quiet. Even if you stand in the back swaying back and forth holding them. Even when it’s hard. Even when when your bench looks like a small hurricane just came through. Bring them to church. Let them see you worship. Let them see you pray. Let them see you running toward the Savior….. because if they don’t see and learn these things from you, who are they going to learn them from? The world will teach them it’s not a priority. The world will teach them it’s Ok to lay out, not to pick up their Bibles. The world will have them so far off course and confused and misinformed that just being “good” is enough. The world won’t teach them about Jesus. That’s our job. Bring them to church.

Until we attended Cornerstone when the kids were much older, I never let the kids wear jeans to church. I always made sure the boys had on nice khaki pants or some type of dress pant and Jayden was almost always in a dress. It took some adjusting to a much more casual dress at our new church than the churches Mark and I grew up in. I love seeing little kids all dressed up. It doesnt happen very often anymore. But even more, I love seeing kids in church.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
