Faith Hope & Love


'...faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love'
~1 Corn. 13:13
I read this verse at breakfast today to Javier & Josiah. So true, especially when we have children. They've caused my faith to grow because sometimes I just cry out to God for wisdom, direction, creativity to deal with the boys. They have caused my faith to grow because I know that left to myself...umm...there is no way I can do this every day, day in day out! Hope, hope is found when I see a picture like this (that Andrew took)...it captures who they are right now...full of energy, silly, fun, and filled with so much possibilities for the future, full of hope. Love...well, it's what I ask for on a daily basis from Jesus. Enough love to be other-focused. To live what we believe. To think on what is eternal and not on what is temporary. Faith, hope and love...what a sweet reminder!
