Maundy Glory
Ok. I know full well that Thursday and Friday of Holy Week are somber and reflective days - certainly not days in which celebration is entirely appropriate. But I can't help myself. I was home for just a couple of hours this afternoon, and for the first time our little one strung together a couple of "da-da-da-da"s. She has been working on consants for some time now (mostly B's), but this is the first appearance of the D sound - and in that great string of da-da no less.
Yes, I am well aware that she has no idea what she is saying. But I really don't care. I am beaming from ear to ear in these last moments before our Maundy Thursday service.

Beaming as you should be, unless of course it really means" Where have you been since Christmas?" ;)
Children give us so many great moments as they grow, and as they grow the hits just keep on coming.
Here's to a life of "beaming."
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:3-9)
Blessed Easter!
