I love this picture by Carl Bloch.
                                                                 
To me it's the essence of Jesus.
I was that man under the blanket. Broken, hopeless and alone. But Jesus came and He lifted the blanket of insecurity away from me. I accepted His invitation of salvation, saving me from the condition of sinful death to, instead  health and well being. He and I still work together making me stronger every day but I am secure in His love and His faithfulness. Every single day.

                                              


Today is Ethan's 4th birthday. We had his big party when Auntie Kim, Zackary, Henry, Aunt Donna, Madison and Damon were here for Benjamin's  graduation.

              

Ethan's birthday was a cowboy theme, even had a cake made to be Trigger the horse.

We had a wonderful day. Ethan swam, played, ate cake and opened presents.

Thank you Lord for our precious Ethan.
