Project 365: Over The River and Through The Woods.............

Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Over The River and Through The Woods.............

Well, not exactly! But to Grandma's house they DID go! And we WERE in the woods! And, I guess, actually they DID cross over a river, the Yadkin, on their way here tonight.

My day started out by going to Rockwell Christian to enjoy a program put on by the K-5 grades for their grandparents in celebration of Grandparents' Day. After the program, the grandparents are allowed to take their grandchild(ren) away from school to spend the day with them. Abby and I went to Zaxby's for lunch and then went to her house. We changed clothes and then just hung out together. We played some games while we enjoyed being outside on the swing. While we were not playing games, we played with our tablet/phone. At one point we went for some ice cream at the end of their road.

Watching the program always brings tears to my eyes

as I remember how great it is to be a Grandparent!

It was wonderful to watch the kids come into the auditorium

searching out their grandparents and waving to them!

At her desk

Zaxby's

Papaw said to give Abby a hug for him, so I did! :D

I whooped up on her in Connect 4!

Faking!

Abby took this picture and did a good job of it!

After Elisabeth got home with Ryan and Hannah, they changed clothes and I brought them back to our house with me. Liz and Brad came later after Brad got home from work. We roasted chicken tenders over the fire pit and had potato salad and mac and cheese......before the smores! And then we just relaxed around the warm fire with wonderful conversation. It was such a beautiful day and a beautiful evening, too! Thank You, LORD, for the blessing of family! Thank You for allowing us to have the property in the woods to enjoy!

Getting so big! Ryan is taller than Hannah now!
