May 16

I was surprised when I got up this morning and found the ground wet with the remains of an overnight rain. After the boys and I drove Abby to school, we trooped over the damp pavement to our porch. Since it was a quick trip, Isaac and Brady didn't wear shoes, and as I tailed them to the front door, I stopped suddenly when I saw Brady's precious little footprints on the cement:

It reminded me, quite literally, of the Biblical promise that Jesus will carry us when we can't walk on our own.
