I was just realizing today as we were watching Annie and Riley, while their mom and dad enjoy a date night, that I brag about our little nephew and nieces all of the time. I guess when I talk to people that have kids and start talking about them, I automatically think about the kids in my life and how much of a joy they are in our lives and so I can't help it! And what a great opportunity to be part of their lives. Kids watch and observe so very closely so it makes us think about how important of a role we, the adults, play in their lives! I hope and pray that these kids will know God and recognize the importance of how to be and live real as they experience life and the realities of this world that we live in. As long as my heart is true in genuine love as I live my life for Him, my actions will ultimately speak much, much louder than words. With that, I hope that my life can set a good example for them. Anyway, just a thought running through my head.

| Riley "hiding" as we played hide and seek. He would close his eyes thinking he wouldbe more hidden! |

| I didn't realize what a hit this snowman would be! |

| Okay, bored with the picture taking. |
What is really eye opening is when your kids start to copy your reactions or the way that you speak, pray, etc. It certainly puts a whole new lens on life!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being so much a part of their lives. And for the date nights!
