Lesser things...

We witnessed a funny thing on the way to the pediatrician's office yesterday...a flock of Canadian geese splashing in a drainage ditch while just across the road, a whole pond was there for the taking. "Stupid birds...," I thought, but then I was reminded how many times I've settled for lesser things, myself. I could have "peace that passes all understanding," but spend the day fretting. I could rest in His forgiveness but instead I allow condemnation to steal my joy.

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. (Romans 8:31-34)

Hi, I love their site! The "brandy
handbag" is lovely. Of course, then I would need a coordinating "zippy!"
The children's "smocks" are really cute. The "Taggies" are adorable. My son loved the tag on his baby teddy bear that my mother-in-law had to make new pajamas for it. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

I love all their bags. The fabric selection is amazing too. I love the espresso damask (I am actually making my baby a quilt with that very fabric in it)

kamaile said...

I love the taggies and quick change...it seems the diapers are always getting squished by something in the diaper bag.

Too hard to choose!!! I love the oilcloth bibs & I love the little diaper/wipes holder. I guess those are my top picks, but I really love the taggies too. And I want a new bag! I love this little shop! Thx! RNMeg at cox net

My2Gs said...

If money wasn't an issue, I would choose one of the awesome handbags! For girls like myself on a budge, I would probably pick either a burb cloth or a zippy.

I love the splat mat! I love to have art projects, and anything messy and fun for the little ones to do while I am making dinner. If I can place something under the princess table to keep my floors from needing to be mopped, it saves me time, and keeps them happy! Now I just need to get them a smock, and a way to keep goo off of the hands, face and hair, and I'll be set!
