Sunday

I love Sundays!

I love Sundays, especially every other Sunday when everyone is here.  I love having the family for dinner and I really love watching my grands play with each other.  The grands always go off away from us gabby adults and have a good time.  Usually they play in the Piano Room but today it was on my bed.  I can't help but smile all over!  I absolutely love these little ones!
Today was a day of celebration!  It is Kevin and Julie and Kamryn's 1 year Anniversary!  I think this year went fast!  We also celebrated Ivy's Birthday which is Tuesday.  We had left over cake and today she was able to blow out the candles because we did it inside where there wasn't a breeze.
It is also Gramps birthday tomorrow and so it was a great day to recognize all these wonderful people.
I can't believe Ivy will be 8 all ready.  The time goes faster and faster in my opinion.  It was a fun day. I always think it's fun when our whole family is together.  I hope we will continue to love being together and take time to make it happen.
I seriously didn't know that life could be so good.  It just keeps getting better and better!  Good Times!

Through Others Eyes!

Today at Church I thought this a few times.....Wouldn't it be nice if we could see ourselves the way others do.  Others or at least I look at someone and see all their fabulous qualities.  I might notice a few weaknesses but my eyes do not stay on the weakness it focus's on the strengths and good things.  That's who I see when I look at others....I see their Best!

For some reason I don't think we are as kind to ourselves. (I know I'm not)  We or at least I tend to let my eyes linger on my weakness and quickly look past my strengths.  I know I have mentioned this before...I guess it's something I am learning and so it is on my mind.

I believe we would all be happier and better if we could see ourselves the way others do....through their eyes.  It would really be something to see ourselves through our Saviors eyes.  I'm not sure we would recognize ourselves because we are much more amazing than we let ourselves believe!  hmmmm.......
