They Keep Me Laughing!

That looks like an normal basket right? It sits in our downstairs bathroom and hold magazines and books. When I was vacuuming recently, I noticed something behind this basket. You'll never guess what it was!?


Yep, that's not just one but TWO pairs of underwear! 
Hidden behind a basket in our downstairs bathroom!
LIFE WITH BOYS!

Hahaha!

I'm telling you, these boys bring so much laughter into my life! I am constantly chuckling! These wo pair of underwear belong to my sweet Evan. This child hates wearing underwear! No matter what type of underwear I buy, he doesn't like it! As you can see, there is a pair of regular "tighty-whitey" type underwear in the picture and a pair of boxers. He hid both! Every morning I ask if he has underwear on and he says, "yes!" Which is true, he usually does have it on at that time, but later on in the day he takes it off and hides it wherever he can find a good place! I've found underwear all over the house!

Today I am grateful for the BIG personalities that my little boys possess! They are all so different, yet so much alike at the same time! It amazes me that God has given them such precious personalities. I am so blessed to be their Mommy! I am also grateful for the laughter. Sometimes if I didn't laugh, I'd cry but usually, they are just cracking me up with their little antics! They make life fun and full of joy! What a sweet gift they are!

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'
