Lessons from a 4 year old and my hubby...

***UPDATE- The Burlingame police recovered my Driver's Licence, credit cards and 1 purse!...We are still praying my camera card will return too! ;)


On Saturday afternoon we decided to take the kids on a bike ride by the reservoir in San Mateo...right off the 92 on the way to Halfmoon Bay.

It was a beautiful perfect afternoon! We must of seen at least 10 deer...A very pleasant, beautiful ride! At the end of our ride Gary went to get his truck and the kids and I waited at the main gate for him so they could run around and Gary could load the bikes up...Gary calls my cell to let me know that our truck was broken in to. The passenger side window was smashed in and my purses (yes, 2...a clutch type with my wallet and a bigger catch all with every one's stuff in it) had been stolen...I was visibly upset over the short phone call and Makenzie asked me what was happened...I told her "some bad people broke Daddy's window and stole my purse and bag." She without even hesitation said "Let's go sit down and pray!" Wow, this child amazes me... I swear, where did this child come from!?!? She is AMAZING! So we went and sat on a bench and prayed...prayed for peace for Daddy and for the people who broke in our truck.

So this is why I'm thankful in a weird way for the break-in...
#1- Mak's immediate response to prayer!
#2- When hungry enough Makenzie will eat an apple that is not pealed! HUGE!
#3- Mak and Zach got to meet 2 very nice police officers and they gave them badges!
#4- We are not a fast food family...besides In & Out ;)...and we were forced to eat at Wendy's because we were so late getting on the road and we couldn't drive on the fwy home...wow, I forgot how amazing a frosty is!...Makenzie was in HEAVEN!

What bums me out...
#1-My camera was in my purse and ALL our pics from our trip to NY...over 200! Those precious memories...sadly are gone...looks like we are going to need to go back for more soon!!! ;)
#2-That it was totally my fault! For 10 years now (LITERALLY!) Gary has told me to cover up my purse and not leave them in plain view when I leave it in the car...and I left it on the floor on the passenger side...Gary totally had a right to be frustrated with my negligence...but he wasn't, he was totally gracious and felt so bad about all my stuff being gone...Gosh I do not deserve such an amazing man!

Lord, thank you for blessing me with such an amazing husband and now a daughter who seems to be following in his likeness of YOU...she could not have a better role model than her Daddy...No wonder she is AMAZING!

Missing my cute new orange purse a bit too much as well...sigh... ;)

Better me than you

Better me than you

Ok, so I have fallen in love with this blog...I don't even remember how I found it (we'll call it divine intervention!) but I'm so glad it came across my screen! I read a handful of blogs and this one is now on my favorites! This lady is so real and she LOVES the Lord and her family...and since that is what I'm striving for it's great to read encouraging blogs!

Enjoy this FANTASTIC TRUTH and PERSPECTIVE...Gary's favorite word!! ;)

BTW...we are home! We had a such a wonderful time! More blogging about that later...

xoxo!
