In the Swim



Our pool was officially finished today. Praise the Lord! Today the temperature was in the 90s, perfect swimming weather. So Bruce and I both took advantage of it. Actually I went swimming yesterday as well, even though everything was not completely finished and hooked up. There was a pool full of water, it was hot, I thought, "Why not?"

God is so gracious to not only meet our basic needs, but bless us in so many additional ways. He indeed "richly supplies us with all things to enjoy." (1 Tim 6:17) I am thankful that He has so graciously provided for us to have a pool. So whatever of God gifts you are enjoying, whether it's your favorite food, or spending time with family and friends, a special hobby or recreational activity, or even your
favorite salad dressing, enjoy it and praise God for it.

Not only are we to enjoy what God gives, and be thankful, but we can share what we have with others. So, if this picture looks inviting to you, give us a call, and come over and swim!

Ring-A-Ling Ding! It's DONE and it looks GREAT! As all three boys were taking a dip in our very little kiddy pool this afternoon (HA HA), I must admit I was wondering how yours was coming along! Looking forward to (ahem) "rejoicing and enjoying" what God has given to you." :)

(and NICE mention of the salad dressing, too -- God IS good!)
