Simple Things

Life has been pretty busy the last few weeks, but Easter was incredible!  I love this time of year, and I love all the hope that comes with it.  I’ve spent the past few weeks preparing for church services, Bible studies, and so much more.  It’s been great, but today I am also enjoying the fact that life is starting to return to normal. 

You can buy a lot of wild stuff of kids at Easter...
However, with a 13 month old baby, Easter also means lots of loud electronic toys that seem to appear out of nowhere... :) People love to give us singing and dancing rabbits, Easter eggs, and tons of other stuff.  It’s pretty fun to watch the baby interact with it all, but living in a fun house can also get a little exhausting.  One of his toys has started playing music randomly in the middle of the night… (This causes us to wonder, in our sleep deprived state, if burglars have broken into our house and are playing with baby toys…)  I guess it’s just hard keeping up with a one year old!  However, the baby recently started to become interested in story books.  These are not electronic, loud, or crazy.  They’re just normal children’s books.  He loves sitting on our laps and listening to a story.  It’s kind of cool to see something so simple become so incredibly powerful…

This week at community we are talking about the power of sharing our story.  This is how faith grows.  We don’t have to have an advanced degree in theology.  We are called to simply share who we are, and we are told to share the faith we have.  In the end, this is simple, but it has amazing value in the world!


Blessings!
