HaPPy 1/2 bIrThDAY hUBBY/aBBA

Today was PJ’s half b-day, I didn’t prepare anything , but Elijah and I made him a card, it read…

Abba,

You’re the best and we thank you for taking care of us all the time. When mommy is not feeling well, you take care of me and love us. Thank you for that. Sorry for not planning a better 1/2 b-day but please know we love and appreciate you. You’re “the best” (Nacho voice).

love,

Elijah Rock, mommy and Pan D.

We ordered our favorite, yummy black tie pasta and shoe string fries (Abba’s favorite) from Claim Jumpers, and watched Mr. Brooks. Elijah was in his pj’s all day but we went along with daddy to pick up our food.

Earlier in the day mom came over with PAN DULCE! She made hot chocolate and we ate them together—so great! Jennifer, mom, PJ, Elijah and myself sat at the table and were warmed by the hot chocolate. You gotta to dip your pan dulce in the hot chocolate…it’s so good.

We love you Abba!

Ascension Thursday

We honored it yesterday. Christ is not here, he is in heaven. Wow. I can’t wait for him to come back. Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus. I need that to be a constant cry of my heart. And I want the church to make this the constant cry of her heart. Jesus left, but he left us his Spirit and will come again. He represents us at the right hand of the Father right now and is preparing a dwelling place for us. He is alive and coming!

We read Acts 1:9-11 in the car, read questions 46, 49, and 50 of the Heidelberg Catechism and prayed. It was on the way to Sandy’s performance. It was a good time of reflection for me, the first time I ever really reflected on Ascension Thursday. Christ ascended, he represents us at the Father’s right hand, he’s reigning up there right now over us, he’s coming again. These thoughts are spurred by the ascension. What a blessing to think about these truths more regularly!
