under the garden hose

We were amazed at how the drops of water showed up on this picture

"More rain grammy, more rain please"

These little boys had a ball last night in our backyard.

Please allow me to switch gears...........................

There is nothing about living the Christian life that is easy. I would never say to you if you were an unbeliever to come to Jesus and your life will be simple and easy. Once you become a believer, your whole life is a process of the Holy Spirit teaching a sinner to be compliant with the will of God.

We don't change easily......It takes a lifetime for us to be fit to enjoy God's eternal kingdom. We are all such gross sinners in God's eyes that he could never look upon us except through the work of Jesus on our behalf.

Not one of us ever reaches spiritual perfection. Even though we become "saved from the wrath of God" we never get to a place where we stop sinning and grieving our Holy God. There is not one bit of righteousness in any of us believers except that which is imparted to us from God through His Son Jesus Christ.

I say all of that to say this. Wisdom and knowledge is also a gift of God. We don't know anything about God's word apart from what he allows us to know. We must use His truth wisely.

I Corinthians 8:1 "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up."
