Oh Lord My God....when I in Awesome Wonder...

Yesterday, Parker and Beckham were out playing in the rain. At one point lightening started to light up the sky and then the thunder would soon follow. It was so amazing. Parker and Beckham would get so scared and come running to me. At one point I had Beckham in my lap and Parker next to me snuggled up under my arm. I was explaining to them what lightening was and how thunder was just the sound of lightening and how OUR God could silence the thunder in a small hush or lift a finger and all of this would stop...well...I didn't realize I would get a lesson too. As we sat together and watched the rain and listened to the huge cracks of thunder I started truly thinking about how big MY God is. Lightening and thunder can be so intimidating and yet MY God is soo much bigger!! I then started singing "How Great Thou Art"....Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the ROLLING THUNDER, thy power throughout, the universe displayed"....then sings my soul, my savior God to thee...how great thou art, how GREAT thou art!!!! While singing those incredible life changing lyrics I could hear the thunder rolling in the background and the rain pouring down...it was magical. It was a beautiful moment I had with the Lord...talking to Him, singing to Him...worshiping... all with my boys right there in my arms. Thank you Lord!

Come watch me!!!

So lately, Parker has been asking me to come watch him "mow". Tonight, I was finishing up on dishes while he and Beckham and daddy were out mowing. Parker comes charging into the house wearing his safety glasses like daddy and says, "mommy, do you want to come watch me mow?", I said "of COURSE" and out we went. We went out into the garage where he told me to grab my blue lawn chair and to sit "right there" and maybe I should even go put safety glasses on like him. So I did and as I sat down he immediately ran out onto the lawn pushing his lawnmower and checking over at me to make sure I was watching how cool he was. The joy that welled up in my heart was overflowing. He wants me to watch him....he wants me to oogle over him and the great thing about it is, is that I want nothing more than to oogle over my boys too!! We are a perfect match! I love being a mommy!!!

So sweet....

Today, I got one of those RARE moments where Parker and Beckham were playing in Beckham's room with the door shut. I took this beautiful opportunity to run around the house and clean as much as I could since cleaning without children either trying to drink the household cleaner or put their face in the toilet you are cleaning or stepping on your vacuum cleaner power cord or unplugging the vacuum at that is very very very rare! So, as I am cleaning I can hear over the baby monitor Parker trying to entertain Beckham. At one point Parker told Beckham he would be right back because he had an idea of something fun....he ran into the living room, opened the closet grabbed something excitedly and ran back into the room, slammed the door and happily showed "bubba" what he found. Smile was all that I could do...it was so precious. Then at one point I could hear Parker tell Beckham "I'll be right back, Bubba, I'm gonna go get mommy"....then Beckham would start to cry, so Parker would stay and say "I'm going to be right back...I'm going to go get mommy and I'll be right back", then Beckham would cry and he would say the same thing over and over again. It was PRECIOUS. Parker could see that Beckham wanted and needed him and he fell right into a loving caring roll! Then eventually Parker decided just to yell at the top of his lungs "Mommy!!!!!!! Bubba wants you!!!!!". Hahaha....I love those boys. I LOVE THOSE BOYS!!!!!!!!
