My Favorite Christmas Decoration!

-
 Decorating our new house for Christmas has been so much fun! I've really enjoyed finding the perfect spot for new and old decorations. As soon as we began decorating, I knew I wanted to do something fun with the staircase since we've never had one before. As the beautiful Christmas cards started to arrive in the mail, I had a great idea! I decided to decorate the staircase with all the cards we've recieved! It turned out so pretty!! This has to be my favorite part of our Christmas decor! 



I've always loved getting Christmas cards in the mail, especially the photo cards. I love seeing how families grow and change over the years. Last year we started saving the photo cards, making a book out of them, and then using them during our family devotions to pray for the families we care so much about. It's been so neat to hear the boys interceding on the behalf of their friends, cousins, and grandparents. Now I love these cards even more because as I look at them I see the faces of the precious people we will be praying for over the next year. I guess that's why this is my favorite Christmas decoration this season!

Today I am thankful for all the families that have blessed us by sending us a Christmas card. It's so nice to know you've thought of us! I am also grateful for the opportunity to pray for these families and teach our children how to pray for the people God has placed in our lives. It is our pleasure to lift each person up in prayer!! If you sent us a card, you can be sure that you'll be prayed over!

Please don't give me a wedgie!

 Would you believe me if I told you that life with 3 boys is wild??  You probably would, huh? I'm telling you, just an average Wednesday night in the Shaw household is full of all sorts of craziness! I did hear a first tonight though!  Bryan was wrestling with the boys and suddenly Dylan starts yelling "Please don't give me a wedgie!" Now by those words, you would assume that he didn't want a wedgie but the way he was shaking his booty in front of Bryan and laughing, proved that he really did want a wedgie! HA! Then, of course, Evan and Tyson started saying, "Please don't give me a wedgie!" (One in English, one in toddler language) So we had three little boys running around shaking their tail ends and begging for wedgies.  There. Is. Never. A. Dull. Moment. As you can see from this picture above, they got their wedgies! They thought it was hysterical! And I just had to show you the picture below, just to give you an id

Beauty from Ashes

I have heard the term "beauty from ashes" a thousand times in the past week. It wasn't the first time I 've heard the term but I've always just brushed it off. Since I've heard it so much lately, I decided to pay it some attention.  So here we go... The Bible says in Isaiah that God will give us beauty instead of ashes. In Biblical times it was the custom for people in great times of mourning and difficulty to lay down in ashes. Just imagine this...you’ve got a big problem in your life so you just lay down in a pile of dirty ashes. There is absolutely nothing beautiful about this scenario. So where does the beauty come from? Can ashes really be turned into something beautiful?   Scripture says that God is able to take the situation that burdens you or causes you pain and turn it into beauty. He can pick you up out of the ash pile of life and make something beautiful out of you. The Hebrew word for ashes is epher and the Hebrew word for beauty is pheer. Just m

Psalm 84: 11-12

For the  Lord   God is a sun   and shield;      the  Lord  bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold      from those whose walk is blameless.  Lord  Almighty, blessed  is  the one who trusts in you Psalm 84: 11-12 I've been pondering Psalm 84:11-12 for a couple of weeks now. It has become one of my favorite verses. After really digging into this verse on my own and in Bible study this morning, I feel like God speaks volumes through these 38 simple words.  God is a sun and a shield. Like the sun, God provides for us, nourishes us, and is always present. The sun provides hope with each new day, just as God gives hope in even the worst situation. Like a shield, God protects us and gives us security. We can hide behind Him and feel safe. But, a shield does no good just laying near by. It only protects when picked up and used appropriately. The same is true with God. If we don't acknowledge Him, if we don't get to know Him, if we don'
