Muckboots n' Aprons: The Boys~

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

The Boys~

These days my life is full of boys. Three in the house and I love it.

To one I read, play, feed, cuddle and change diapers.

To another I school, train, exhort, read with, drive to football practices, bring snacks to all his games, and still cuddle with. He's a good friend, and we pal around quite a bit. Like today for instance, we took our school books and the baby and went to sit in the sunshine outside at Starbucks to do school. He looked up at me and said, "you know, being homeschooled is awesome!" I love that! It's true.

To the eldest, I watch and stand in amazemanet as he becomes a man. A man of God. He drives himself off to college classes during the week instead of homeschooling with me. He makes me laugh hysterically, he's just that funny, and he still likes to cuddle too. Praise God for that! I love that kid!
