The other day, Maxson, Aiden, and I were out playing in our sandbox (a favorite place of ours). The weather had finally changed and we were enjoying some wonderful sunshine. It was so peaceful… yes even with two boys my life can be quite peaceful. ☺ I just sat there watching my boys play in there own worlds. There was stillness all around us with only the noises of the breeze through the trees, birds singing and chirping, and the occasional cow mooing or tractor driving in some field. Those of you who have been to our farm know that there is just a peace about being out here and we can’t really explain why. As I sat there I heard the verse in my head “Be still, and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10a. I was blown away. Out in that sandbox the boys were teaching me to be still and listen and to get to know the Lord even more. By being obedient to doing things that boys like to do, the boys led me to be closer to God. Thank you God for using any moment of my busy day and seek me out and to say just be still and know that I am your God. I am looking at that time with my boys in a whole new light now. I have asked God before to give me the time to be with him and wham there it was. What a gift!
Love Steph
PS (If you haven’t had the chance yet to make it out to our farm just let us know and we can set you up out here to just sit and be still with the Lord.)
