the sun is out, the sun is out {gratitude list #753- #782} }

We had a beautiful day on Sunday. I grabbed my camera on the way out the door to worship,

thinking I might snap some pictures..... and I did!

 The air was sooooo cool and crisp. The mountains were glorious. 

We drove down to the coast on our way home from church, just because we wanted to bask in the sun.

Later that afternoon, I had the privilege of teaching 20 little ones about worship. 

Recognizing God + Right heart response = Worship

Thank You for my sweet #3.... so full of life, crazy though she is!

(she was giddy with excitement about being by the water in the sun....

and proceded to act like she was in San Diego, even though it was 50 degrees!

I made her take a warm bath right when we got home, for fear she was going to get sick!)

"God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
