Let's Rock!

So our day of celebrating "Old Rocks" was supposed to include a family outing to the Othello Tunnels in Hope. But alas poor hubby has contracted the nasty cold that our toddler has been battling, so instead he has spent the day in bed while the babe and I have played quietly. We've put our adventure in the tunnels on hold, and instead I cued up a video on Seasme Street's website about rocks.

The celebration of old rocks today did get me thinking about the sure foundation I stand on Christ though. It's good to know that, in the storms of life, my faith is built on the Solid Rock of Jesus. "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus name. On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand." "He's my Rock and my Redeemer; He's the reason that I sing. I desire to be a blessing in His eyes."

What did you do to celebrate today?

Tomorrow: Bubble Bath Day!

Amen! On Christ's solid rock we do indeed stand! :)

Also in reference to bird day (thank you for not mentioning pigeons, although I'm sure the Lord loves these sky rats too...):

From Matthew 6 ... Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


I love you guys and am praying for you as you explore God's new direction--without worry! :D
