Where man sees but withered leaves, God sees sweet flowers growing. ~Albert Laighton

Well, Tara always has quotes for her titles, so I thought I'd try.

Easter was lovely this year. Kady wore a dress made for her by Grandma Combs, and she looked beautiful for our family pics!

When I was little, we'd watch the first half of the Ten Commandments every year. The movie was so long, it was on past my bed time, or I just wouldn't last. Maybe that's why I don't like watching the beginnings of movies over and over without seeing the end. It just doesn't seem worth it. But really, isn't that how life is?

You see Moses' mother and sister go to the river, place him in a basket, and let him go. Would I be able to do that with Kady? I think not. Why would God do that? Why then would He have Moses grow up in the household of the man who wanted to kill him?

When I was little, I couldn't have told you the answer from watching the movie. As I got older, and could connect the Bible story with the movie, it made more sense- Moses had to grow up the way he did so that he would be humbled, and would have the skills and ability to free and lead his people out of Egypt.

So, Easter is a time to reflect on what we cannot see. We cannot see the whole picture, and we shouldn't forget that maybe there is a reason that something bad or not so great has happened to you.

On a lighter note, here's pics of Kady!



Kady's bloomers, everyone!



OH! There's people!



Hmmm....this is tasty!



So cute!



We went out to eat last week, and a cute old man came up to our smiling girl and said "You know, I think in all God's creations, I believe there's nothing more beautiful then a sleeping baby. I think the second is a smiling one.
