Ryan and I decided that our kids have it pretty good.
Wonderful things just "appear" each day.
Each day they wake up and get lots of hugs and kisses. Then a delicious (usually hot) meal appears for them to eat. Throughout the day friends and fun new toys appear in houses they visit. When the kids ride in the car the beach suddenly appears, or sometimes it's the park or zoo...Then, around noon there's more yummy food. They just ask and it appears!
When they get sleepy for a nap a warm bed and blanket always appear, along with a few hours set aside to rest. After naptime they just play and sometimes friends appear again. Feeling hungry kiddos? More yummy food suddenly appears (dinner), followed by a warm bubble bath, lots of snuggles and a warm bed.
Hey Ry, Can I have that schuedule for a Mother's Day gift next year!
Imagine what is going through their heads when they get in the car. They don't know, is it 3 min. to the store? 5 min to the gym? 20 minutes to an Aunt's house? They have no idea. They just buckle up and wait.
A couple of weeks ago they unsuspectingly got into the car and 8 hours and two days later they arrived here...
The family cabin in Chester.
Suddenly, they're fishing and exploring riverbeds every day.
They have no idea what happened to our home or if we're ever going back. They don't care.
This amazing place just appeared and they love it!
(Imagine if one day you're plopped in a bike carrier and then...
this cool lake appears that you get to swim and throw rocks in...
Then you jump in the car and before you know it... it's amazing! An ice cream cone that's half the size of your head appears in your hand and you get to devour the whole thing guilt free. Life is good.)
God has blessed us with the ability to abundantly provide for our kids' needs in so many different ways, physically, spiritually and emotionally.
Ryan and I consider it a great gift that we can be a part of helping these blessings "appear" in our kid's lives.
