Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it...Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward...Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127
Our little brown house is nestled in the center of 5.97 acres of land which we have named Shiloh; meaning "He whose right it is". This land, this home, this family, all belong to the Lord to do with "Whate'er my God ordains is right."

This is the house the Lord built. And happy is the man and his family!
Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

All of these pictures are so good! And I absolutely love the one where Justin and I are dancing in 2008 and then again at our wedding. How cool is that? I am totally going to share this with him once he gets home from work. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely blog post, Mother dear! <3
I loved those two pictures as well and have wanted to use them in some way. This blog post seemed perfect for it and just after your first wedding anniversary too!
