Food For Thought Fridays

Caleb is afraid of dogs. He used to love them.

One day while playing a dog snapped at him and ever since, he wants nothing to do with them.

At grandma's house, there is an outside dog and that dog will chase and jump all over you.

One day while we were visiting, the dog started running after Caleb and trying to jump all over him.

What did Caleb do? He took off for Daddy. He jumped in my arms with tears rolling down his face.

At that moment, no dog in the world was going to mess with my boy.

His weakness was met with my strength.

Psalm 5: 1-2 says, "Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray."

The enemy has attacked and continues to pursue, but we have run into the arms of our Almighty God.

When we let our cry, our groaning, our weakness appeal to the strength of our almighty King, no dog in hell can or will overtake us.

This was a perfect day at the beach. When I look at this picture, it almost looks like a backdrop. But it is the real thing. It was a beautiful day.

Caleb's Rain Delay

We played outside today, between the rain clouds, and had a great time. We raced and jumped over alligators (they were really just sticks). We went fishing for piranhas and went on a bug hunt. Fighting alligators, piranhas, and bugs are all in a day's work for Daddy and his two boys.

Leaf Jumping

This is actually a picture from a while back, but it popped up on my screen saver and I remembered how much fun Caleb had jumping in leaf piles. It was a lot of work raking those leaves, but also a lot of fun watching him destroy the work.

Picking Flowers

Caleb was picking "flowers" for Mommy at Luther Britt Park.

Beach Bums

This was taken at Ocean Isle Beach. The boys were having lots of fun, but it was extremely windy. Caleb was watching the wind blow the sand.

Waiting For A Bite

My son, Caleb, waiting for a bite at Luther Britt Park. He will be waiting a while (there is no hook on the other end of the string).
