Curious George

Our Built-In Learning App (Curiosity)
Reason #426 - Albert Einstein once said, 'I have no special talents.  I am only passionately curious.' Praise God for giving us an insatiable desire to explore and see how things work!

The Big Daddy

Big Daddy Reason #425.
Grace. Grace. Amazing Grace. I once was lost, but now I am found. I was blind, but now I see. It cost Jesus everything so it wouldn't cost me anything. The divine swap. Jesus' life for mine. It is by grace that you are saved through faith. It is God's gift to you.....nothing you could earn even if you tried. Thank you Lord Jesus for your gift of grace. 

Beautiful Little Box

Bought Air Reason #424.
Dear Thermostat,
Thank you for the steadfast job you do day after day to make sure we stay cool. It is so hot outside that corn stalks are transforming into popcorn but somehow you are unmoved. You also seem immune to distraction from your singular task securing a spot in my heart as a beautiful little box. 

Rain Maker....

Reason #423 - The RainMaker.
The National Climate Data Center states that the Midwest is in an 'extreme drought'. 
Our outdoor thermometer reads a steady 106 degrees (in the shade). 
Who holds the storehouses of the wind, rain and snow?  - The RainMaker.
Job 37:5-7 
'God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; He does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work, he stops all people from their labor.' Thank YOU, Lord for the rain.

Raw Creativity

Reason #422. 
Raw, (contagious,) creativity....be it in a chalk drawing or the shoe-pairing choice of the day.
“The world is but a canvas to the imagination.”  — Henry David Thoreau. 
I am thankful for wee ones in my world who daily teach and model creativity.
