Look Who Is Two

Here are a few things I want to remember about Jojo right now:

-Singing. I love hearing his precious voice saying “Mama sing…Mama sing…”

His favorite song is “Holy, Holy, Holy” and he loves to sing the Amen at the end.

-He loves anything Elmo, Thomas, or Bob the Builder.

-Going for “walkawas” in the stroller. He favorite walking destination is the “waddy.” ( the fountain at Trillium Park)

-Reading. He loves, loves, loves books.

-Mowing the “yawn" with his new Bubble Mower.

-His love for animals



-His best friend is Mia and he loves to “Mia see-ya” (go see Mia)

-I love hearing him answer his first catechism question with “God made me.”

-Hearing him sing “A,B,C,D,E, I, K, 9, 10….Amen!”

-Hockey cheers at the dinner table:

 

-He loves his “Bobo”

Sunday Hymns - A Few More Years Shall Roll

A Few More Years Shall Roll / なおしばしの 時を経なば from IN THE HYMN on Vimeo.

A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest
Asleep within the tomb;

Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day.

O wash me in Thy precious blood,

And take my sins away.

A few more suns shall set
O’er these dark hills of time,
And we shall be where suns are not
A far serener clime:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blest day.

O wash me in Thy precious blood,

And take my sins away.

A few more storms shall beat
On this wild rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more;
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that calm day.

O wash me in Thy precious blood,

And take my sins away.

A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o’er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that bright day.

O wash me in Thy precious blood,

And take my sins away.

A few more Sabbaths here
Shall cheer us on our way,
And we shall reach the endless rest,
Th’eternal Sabbath day;
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that sweet day.

O wash me in Thy precious blood,

And take my sins away.

’Tis but a little while,
And He shall come again
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with Him may reign;
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day.

O wash me in Thy precious blood,

And take my sins away.

A Child's Heart

"Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life and died as an infinite sacrifice so that children (and their parents) can be forgiven, transformed, liberated and empowered to love God and love others. When we miss the heart, we miss the glory of God. The need of children (or adults) who have fallen into various forms of personal idolatry is not only to tear down the high places of the alien gods, but to enthrone God."

-Ted Tripp Shepherding a Child's Heart
