We just came home from a birthday party. The kids had a blast and are full of energy still and of course full of cake too. They do not get sweets very often, so when they do they get very excited. My almost 11 month old had one tiny taste of icing and actually didn't like it. I consider that a good thing! I would much rather her have cravings for healthier foods.
Anyways, the birthday party had me thinking of gifts and what a gift children are to any parent's life!
Psalm 127:3-5 (NLT)
"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates."
Beautiful verse and I love the name of your blog. Such a neat takeaway from child's birthday party :) Thanks for sharing and thanks for linking up with the #MTMmixer!
