After a stressful week (editing through 4 jobs plus Dustin at work/school/trying to study for the P.E, Elle teething and really long days with the kids-I was quite possibly at my breaking point), I needed a relaxing weekend with Dustin & the kids. We had breakfast at probably our favorite place ever, Bread & Butter and later that day took the kids to A Day Out With Thomas, and then had frozen custard. What could be better right?
Holding onto this truth today:
John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
Riding the Thomas Train:
Love the face.
After we rode Thomas The Train, we went to Conrad's favorite frozen custard place,
Mr. D's and shared a dirt and worm in the car.
Elle having a sink bath after being covered in purred cauliflower and pears.
Dustin brushing Conrad's teeth. Yes, those are diapers and clothes hanging in my bathroom,
which doubles as a laundry room. We're resourceful over at the Robbins house.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
{Have a wonderful Sunday}

ReplyDeleteHope your yogurt pops turned out yummy:) The chalked out oval over the sink might be my favorite design element in your house. EVER. What a sweet shot!
ReplyDeleteSounds like that sweet time with your family was much needed :) Riding Thomas must have been a riot for Conrad! :) And frozen custard...now I'm craving some (may have to ask the hubs to bring some home tomorrow night, there's a place right by his work...dangerous I tell you!) Yay for wonderful, productive, then family-fun filled weekends!
ReplyDeleteAnd those scriptures are beautiful. What truth. Getting pruned is n
Oops, my phone wouldn't jet me type any more (sorry for this novel of a comment;) But that scripture...getting "pruned" is never fun...but so needed...and how tasteful I am for a loving Heavenly Father that knows just what trials and hardships we need to help us grow.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of Elliotte in the sink might just be the cutest thing I've ever seen. Peek a boo!!
