Our Little Firecracker

Rebekah is definately our little firecracker. She is so expressive, joyful, and lights up a room. Her laughter and her smiles are contagious. Right now I am working through Beth Moore's study called "Loving Well." It is a study of 1 John 4 and focuses on loving others. One of the main premises is that we have to accept and believe God's love for us before we can truly love others. As I have been reflecting on God's love for me, I keep thinking of my love for Rebekah. It is so hard for me to grasp how much the Lord loves me and that there is nothing that I could do to make Him stop loving me. But when I think of how much I love Rebekah, it helps me begin to grasp just how much God loves me. There are times that I just sit and watch Rebekah with such pleasure and with a huge smile on my face. I am so thankful that I know a God who loves me even more than I love Rebekah (which is hard for me to imagine because I love her so much)!!!
This past weekend when we were in Sedona, Auntie Joelle gave Bekah a little firecracker shirt. Even though it was way too small, I had to put it on her. It gave both Bekah and I a good laugh. We have been joking with Auntie Jo that she gave Bekah her first crop top.


When Bekah was just 4 weeks old, we bought this Leap Frop table at a church garage sale. Just yesterday, she began to lean on it and play with it. What a great new toy!
