What sign can you do?

Posted by on
John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

God's timing.

Bella at 4 months!
It's hard to believe that this little one is 4 months-old already.  Time sure does fly.  I've really enjoyed Isabella.  I know that seems strange to say and I'm not saying I haven't enjoyed the previous 6 kids.  What I mean is that I've really been able to enjoy her.

When you have children, especially every two years or so, sometimes it's hard to take time to enjoy them.  However, now that the others are older and pretty much self-sufficient (are they ever, are we ever), I'm able to really take the time to just enjoy her, to soak in her personality.

I thank God for the gift of her and all of our children.  I thank God for the gift of His timing.  I thank God for a Godly wife who is open to God's plan for life, love, and family.
