My Everything Quilt

Hannah and Connor are now the parents of little Noah James Sealock. He was born Tuesday, May 22, 2018 just after midnight. His birth was unique: he was born still in the amniotic sac of water! It was truly a long day of labor for Hannah, but what a cutie!

Leah and Blake are the proud parents of Lawson Tate Harriss. Born Friday, May 18, 2018. He was welcomed home by big brother, Wyatt, who will be 3 in July.

The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell.  It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled And pardoned from his sin. When years of time shall pass away And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall, When men, who here refuse to pray, On rocks and hills and mountains call, God's love so sure shall still endure, All measureless and strong; Redeeming grace to Adam's race The saints' and angels' song. Could we with ink the ocean fill And were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade. To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry, Nor could the scroll contain the whole Though stretched from sky to sky.      O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, the saints and angels song. ~Words by Frederick M. Lehman

I love poetry. When the girls were school age, I used to love to take out my big book of Favorite Poems and let them pick out poems and I would pick out poems; sometimes they would even illustrate some of the poems. One year, Leah put together a whole book of poems that she composed herself. Yes, I still have it! Today is sunny and the birds are singing in the trees. There is a gentle breeze blowing. And I am feeling nostalgic, so I once again turn to my big book of Favorite Poems . Who Has Seen The Wind ~Christina Rossetti Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you: But when the leaves hang trembling, The wind is passing through. Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I: But when the trees bow down their heads,  The wind is passing by.

Moriah and Josiah welcomed baby Lincoln January 2! He was the first baby born in Cherokee county in 2018!

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea, Creation's revealing Your majesty. From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring, Every creature unique in the song that it sings, All exclaiming. Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name. You are amazing God. All powerful, untameable, Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim, You are amazing God. ~"Indescribable" by Chris Tomlin

"Fret not yourself of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil." ~Psalm 37:1-8
