Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house;
your children shall be like olive plants round about your table.
Psalm 128:3

Happy Birthday Jedidiah!

Today is Jedidiah's 3rd Birthday. I saw a cake very similar online right after Nehemiah's Birthday last year, then found these construction cake decorations at Safeway for $3 (and some fun racecars that I will use for Nehemiah's Birthday in a few months.)
Of course I had to make it for him. He loves it... and I don't think I am going to be able to get him to eat lunch first, we will see. Going to go make lunch now.





Except the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;
Except the LORD keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of anxious toil — for HE gives blessings to HIS beloved in sleep.
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth.
Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them!
They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries in gatherings at the city's gate.
Psalm 127
