Adventures With A Three Year Old.

         Colossians 1:16-17 says,”For by him all things were created:things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

        This past week we have been blessed with our daughter, son-in-law and 3 year old grandson Joshua to visit us from Kentucky. Spending time with Joshua on daily adventures helped me get in touch with the splendor of the Lord's greatness in His created things. This Scripture teaches that ,”all things were created by him and for him.. and in him all things hold together.”

We picked fresh blueberries. It was a delight to hear him taste the berries and murmur his approval. We caught bright flashing fire flies on a summer night. We filled an old jar full of them and released them the next morning. We caught 3 large, kicking and jumping trout. The rainbow colors of the trout were so brilliant.

     We were chased by a gaggle of geese wanting to get all the bread in our hands. We made it safely to a foot bridge with some of the bread left over for the ducks. It is so interesting that geese will not come up on the bridge but the ducks do. We went swimming and discovered that he can hold to a kick board and make splashes with his extended kicking feet. On a nature walk we saw beautiful blue dragon flies and red winged black birds.

      Our Lord has made us a wonderful world. Like the old hymn says so well, “He shines in all that is fair.” The Lord must have a great taste for variety, fun and awesome tender beauty to make wonders we can not count. We need an inquisitive 3 year old around to help us see and appreciate some of it!

      Yes, I am tired out but thankful for all this past week of adventure. I praise the Lord for health to tag along with an energetic little man. I will try to attach one photo of the wonder.
