Skiing with da boys!

here we are on the lift
taken with my phone
so thankful I didn't drop it

of course I am trying to get a nice pic
but the boys could care less about that

HH took the girlies to Great Wolf Lodge
and I just couldn't bare? to go again
I have had more than enough of that place
so
off skiing the boys and I go

perfect sunshine
perfect weather
a few perfect crashes
hanging with da boys

it was interesting at home that night
as the girlies were spending the night away
we were home alone

again the switch in dynamics
having the girls out of the mix
brought the boys together in such a lovely way
they just hung out together
had a lot of laughs
and really enjoyed one another's company

family, siblings are not a burden
this is how we are taught to love our neighbour
as ourself
your siblings are your closet neighbours
my hubby is my closest neighbour
they should be the easiest people to love
and they are
but they can be the hardest
but this is where we start learning
to love these neighbours
as ourselves
because we all certainly love ourselves...
and then some

J.O.Y.

J-esus first
O-thers Second
Y-ourself last


daily choosing to think of others first
before oursleves

the daily CHOICE of serving one another
instead of ourselves
why?
why on earth would I do that?

because of love
because Jesus came to serve and not be served
and in that act
we show love
that everyone is infinitely valued and precious in His sight
we are all equally loved

off to love the girls while we grocery shop this morning....
oh dear..lol
