Eli's First Day

Let me start this post by asking, HOW do all you other bloggers find time to blog so regularly? It's been two weeks since Eli started pre-school and I'm just now finding time to post the pictures. Anyway, as always I followed the bus to school the first day. This really is not as weird as some might think because LOTS of parents do it. Apparently there are even a few who follow them the ENTIRE first week. I just settle for the first day. Anyway enjoy!

Heart Story/Poem

I'm stealing this from another blog. The person's blog I stole this from was born with the same thing Eli was and went to be with Jesus not long after she was born. This story pulls at my heart. The author is unknown.


Heart Story/Poem

It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that she is just going for a visit. She is still not swayed on this idea.

So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared.

She asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy and daddy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart".

"Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, whenever that may be, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."
