The other night I was kissing the boys goodnight when Ryan asked, "Mom did you see what I wrote down on my desk?" I hadn't. Ryan: "Trevor and I are going to write down things that encourage us. I wrote,
Follow God's footsteps they lead home." The next night Ryan was reading to Trevor from the book,
Tell Me the Secrets. Afterwards, I overheard Trevor ask, "So, Ryan what encouraged you in that story?" My heart was melted at both of these instances. One of main prayers through the years has been that the Lord would build a deep bond of friendship between our boys that they would experience true biblical fellowship with one another!
This picture was taken in August at one of our new favorite "family" spots - Kennesaw Mountain. There is a trail to climb, a musuem to visit, an amazing view at the top and you can even drive if you don't want to hike the whole trail. It shall replace the arboretum - our old family hiking spot in Virginia. Sigh. . . a bittersweet thought!
