Kids say the funniest things

While reviewing some of the songs we had taught our children one afternoon...we were singing the song 'Gods Grace is sufficient for me',one line in the chorus says.....I will worship and proclaim and give glory to his name for his grace is sufficient for me.  Our youngest son James, who is not shy about singing the songs about Jesus sang out at the top of his lungs.........I will worship and Complain and give glory to his name....I thought..... how close he was, at 4 years old, to having it figured out already.......it's funny but also a true picture of many Christians attitudes.....Pray and ask God to supply our needs, and then turn around and complain about what God gave us......

Brothers and Sisters...

                                                            Mom made the Lasagna

                                                            It was really good....

                                                     .....well, most of us thought so.

                                                     

                                             Then we had Dad's famous top secret milkshakes.

They taste better than they look.
