"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."
Psalm 127:3-5

Water Play!!

In early August, our family went with a sweet friend to the Edisto River in SC. We had a blast playing in the river and on the sand bars, it being low tide.

Kyle and Hope were the noisy ones with much splashing, laughing, and squealing (the squealing coming from Hope!).

Philip was the only one to bravely wade all the way across the river

Luke caught minnows by scooping up water and straining it through his hat!!

Later in August, we took a trip to Kentucky to visit family friends. All 15 of us  took a double-decker pontoon boat (w/ slide) out on Lake Kentucky and spent the day swimming, inner tubing, and having good fellowship.

The observers on the top deck got the best view. We fastened the inner-tube rope on the upper story of the pontoon and some people got wild rides with the rope being yanked in all directions!!

We are so thankful for our friends’ hospitality and the wonderful day we had with them! We treasure the friendship and the memories.
With all this time spent on the water, we’ve been reminded so often of the amazing and intricate details of God’s creation. Water is amazing in all of its qualities and how it is necessary for life.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
Isaiah 12:2-5
