Matta-A Planting of the Lord

Isaiah 61:3 God speaks of His redemptive qualities. How He can bring about beauty from ashes and gladness from mourning! They explain further that God can take something and grow it into "a planting, for the display of His splendor." Isaiah 61:4 talks about "rebuilding ancient ruins and renewing ruined cities." In this blog I hope to show how our family longs to be a "planting of the Lord" for "God's splendor." We have been "broken cities" that are renewed by God's love and grace!

Merrry Christmas 2011

Trees, decorating, snowball fights, baking, eating, muppets, and presents...wow, it has been a busy Christmas season! We have really enjoyed ourselves and are so thankful to God for such a wonderful time to celebrate. The boys are growing and changing in so many ways; it's hard to believe that soon we will be ushering in a new year.

Juwan's new favorite thing when he gets his picture taken is to say "CHEESE"!

Indoor Snowball fight! (cotton balls of course)

Making ice cream snowmen!

Only Samuel :)

Samuel has been wanting to make a gingerbread house...finally got his wish this Christmas!

Ta da! Finished

More eating :)

Getting our Christmas tree

The boys loved watching the tree get cut down...and yelling "Timber!"

The star was a little floppy this year...flimsy Christmas tree.

Went with Mema to see the Muppets...Samuel and Brennan loved it. Juwan didn't make it through.

Merry Christmas...Juwan loves music...he pretends that he is playing a guitar all the time. Even spoons and brooms become guitars.
