Last week, my kids and I met a little 4 year old girl named Ella Cate. She has a baby brother who was born at 13 weeks prematurely on September 26, 2019. He was 3 lbs 4 ounces and his lungs aren't fully developed. We felt the need to show Ella Cate that there are people out here that care and we wanted to make her feel special while her wonderful mother is tending to the baby at UAB. While we were visiting with her and her grandparents, her pawpaw showed us this view. I'd say there was about 3 minutes between the 1st and the 3rd picture. It absolutely astounds me how quickly things change when we aren't looking or paying attention. If you were to sit and look at the same spot, you aren't going to immediately see the difference. Although it is a beautiful difference between the two pictures, our focus was on something just as beautiful. If we hadn't refocused and looked again, we would have missed it. While noticing the difference, my first thought was how quickly our children grow. Often times we feel like if we blink, we are going to miss their childhood. As a couple days have gone by and I was looking through my pictures, I thought about when we turn away from God. We are humans, we are going to make mistakes and we are going to sin. If or when you do, get your focus back and let God do beautiful things in your life like He does with the world's canvas! #ImReallySpeakingToMyself #ImVERYFarFromPerfect #LetYourFaithGrow
From the manger to the cross... From the cross to the grave... From the grave to the sky... He is risen indeed! May God's fire burn in your hearts forever. May His wings cover and protect you, and your families. May His son, the greatest man in history, who had no servants, yet was called master, had no degree, yet was called teacher, had no medicines, yet was called healer, He had no army, but kings feared him, He won no military battles, yet conquered the world, He committed no crimes, yet they beat and hung him on a tree, He was buried in a tomb, rose in three days and lives today through people like you. Thank you for seeing our worth and not defining us by our past and for having the faith that we can all be changed for the Glory of God. Love in Christ, Bill & Michelle Ellis Happy Easter!
