Day Two Hundred Seventeen 2012
Visiting grandson Knox and daughter Kelly today. First time we’ve been to their house since the end of June. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Chop House.
He’s got three teeth now, and a fourth coming in soon, so he’s got his own toothbrush. He likes to brush his teeth.
He’s about to outgrow that changing table. We haven’t seen him in almost two weeks (must be a record), so he seems a lot bigger to us today.
Peekaboo!
He got a cool new toy to play with from Babies R Us. He isn’t crawling yet, but he can pull himself up to a standing position and just might walk before he crawls.
Bath time!
Bath water tastes terrible!
He was also happy to get to visit with his aunt Holly and cousin Shelby who dropped by after a day of shop till you drop. (It’s tax free weekend here in our state). Knox is such a sweetie, eight months old now, and changing so much every time we see him. He’s off to bed now. Sweet dreams!

Day Two Hundred Sixteen 2012
By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
~Charles Spurgeon
There’s a lesson in there for us. I like these dictionary definitions of the word perseverance.
perseverance — n
1.
continued steady belief or efforts, withstanding discouragement or difficulty; persistence
2.
Christianity persistence in remaining in a state of grace until death
If perseverance can pay off for a lowly snail, then I know that God will reward his obedient and faithful servants with an eternal home in heaven.
Happy TGIF, everyone!
