Being a pastor's family can be beautiful and wonderful and challenging and exciting. But it can also be damaging and disheartening and frustrating at times. Our kids have and will experience many forms of discrimination as we navigate the path God has set before our family. Satan will come at them and us from every angle. I loved this article about ways to love your pastor's kids. They are, after all, just like everyone else's kids. A little grace goes a long way.

"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." ~Isaiah 40:31~

Famous!
Joshua and I were on the front page of a local newspaper for singing in that Christmas concert Wednesday evening. He's famous! :-) What a fun memento to put with his keepsakes!

Do You Hear What I Hear?
Last night, Joshua and I had the privilege of singing at a local church's annual Christmas Concert. This is the second year I participated. I've been wanting to do a duet with Joshua for a while now, but I didn't know if he would really do it with me or not. We practiced and practiced, but I went into the evening knowing full well that his almost-4-year-old self would probably decide at the last minute that he didn't want to sing. In fact, he missed his nap that day and fell asleep in the car on the way. He was completely disoriented and in tears when we arrived, so I figured I would be singing all by myself. At the last minute, he pulled it together, and he did an awesome job! So proud of my big boy...can't wait to do many more duets (trios...quartets...with his brothers?) with him in the future!
I majorly messed up the words in the first couple verses, so just ignore me and watch the cute little guy singing! :-)
And yes, I know I have been MIA from the blogging world...hopefully I'll be able to get caught up this weekend! Have a great rest of your Thursday!
