First Fruits

make that first foods...rice cereal to be specific.


And she loved it. She was so proud of herself. 


Oh how I love her expressive little face.



Every little milestone is a reminder of how quickly time passes.
How quickly they turn from tiny to toddler.

As parents we have precious little time to pour into these ones. 
It is vitally important to give them healthy food to nourish their little growing bodies, but what we feed their spirits is of even greater importance. 



I pray the Lord will give us the wisdom, strength, and grace to raise these babies to know Him,
to know how precious and dearly loved they are [by Him & us],
and to honor and obey Him.

In the midst of a society that will want to feed them lies and convince them that worldly gain and pleasure is all that matters; 

We must show them the light, the freedom, the joy
the peace, 
and the life
that comes from walking in obedience to God.  

It is a lofty responsibility we parents have.  These are lives being molded, minds being shaped, and ultimately, futures being determined, one lesson after another.
Be mindful of what you are feeding your little ones.
