Sloberry Kisses

I can't decide if Emma is giving me kisses on my face or trying to eat! :) But last night she started opening her mouth and slobbering all over my face. I almost cried! I kiss her cheeks over and over ALL the time, so maybe she is mimicking me?! I just love her so much!

Yesterday at church was SO SO SO much better than it has been. Emma basically misses her morning nap and is so grumpy during the service that I don't get to stay. We don't put her in the nursery yet, for a variety of reasons. Right now the main reason is because I think the cold (that turned into RSV) she had last week was caught in the nursery the 2 weeks that I worked in the nursery and took her with me. So we will wait until after cold and flu season to put her in there. Anyway, I prayed Saturday night that this Sunday would be better and that I would get to at least sing and hear some of the message. God was faithful and I was able to be in most of the service. My loving husband was wonderful and took her the one time she was fussy. She fell asleep in his arms! If we hadn't been in church, I would have taken a picture! After she woke up, she was so stinkin' cute I could hardly stand it! She was talking and flirting with everyone sitting behind us.

The service was really good yesterday. Pastor Coty is preaching through the book of Luke. He preached on Luke 6 yesterday. He was talking about being a son (or daughter) of the Most High...what does that look like? Just because you are being blessed doesn't mean you are a child of God. God blesses nonbelievers. People will know the kind of tree you are by the fruit you produce. We are called to love our enemies and forgive much as we have been forgiven much. And finally we must judge ourselves - evaluate the level of our own obedience to God, our love for others, and our own giving and forgiveness of others. That's it in a nutshell, but you can view the whole sermon on our church website (Desiring God Community Church). It's probably not up yet, but it should be by the end of the week.
