reflection.

I love to try to capture the everyday moments sometimes.

Pink Gerber daisies.
Smiling faces.

The joy of being 5 years old.
We had to stop and take a picture with R2. Maylie just adores this little machine, and insisted on his picture being taken too. :)

It's almost been a year since gotcha day... and sometimes I just step back and see how much she's changed and grown.... and wonder how we ever got along without her.

I know this.... if we hadn't gotten her, life would have way fewer spills, lessons in patience, and cleanups.

But a whole lot less joy and a lot less laughter.

I love you my sweetie!!

His wounds have paid my ransom.

How deep the Father's love for us,

How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.
