Rom8:18 NASB

"18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

Raising children is hard, especially godly children, but it's worth it.

Life captured

Love 1 Cor 13:4-7 NASB

4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Ears

When Steve and I got married we joked around about what our kids would look like and have to deal with. Like what Steve termed, "butt chins", independent spirits, and ear infections.  It was a well know fact that both Steve and I were the ear infection kings and queens of our families (and we had simi-large families).  I was even pronounced deaf because of my infections and had to get tubes (thank you modern medicine for giving me back my hearing). 

So, it was no surprise to us when nolan got his first, second, third, and so on ear infections.  And today it was no surprise that not only nolan had an ear infection but jane also (nolan has one ear infected while both of Jane's are infected).  Both kids have been dealing with crazy colds, and like good mini-me's those colds went straight to their ears. 

Also, like good mini-me's they both react differently to being sick. N doesn't stop...period. unless, he has a fever, then he slows down, which is his father through and through.  Me on the other hand, I want comfort, cuddling (this is the only time I crave this.  Most, days I'm hands off).  I want to stay in and just weather the "storm" in as much comfort as possible. This is Jane.  I wonder if these sick day habits will stay, be traded or level out between the two kids but for now please pray that the new medicine (the first one that we got for Jane on Monday she had a reaction to) works, and the kids get better soon, and mom can get a good nights sleep.

Love Deut 6:5-8 NASB

5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.6 These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.7 You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

(maybe, a good new years resolution) :)
