The Best Weekend Ever!

I find it humorous just how the simply things in life really create the best day with my family. We had decided in the middle of the week that we were going to take Luk to the beach. He had been wanting to go for awhile, but we have been jammed pack with events and fundraisers for our Youth group. It was a time for family that was well needed. It very quickly became one of the best days Reson and I have ever had. When you look at it from afar it would seem that anything but great. We started the day an hour behind and headed to the beach. It is usually only a 45 minute drive, however it took us nearly 2 hours to get there. The traffic was pretty bad.
Surprisingly, both the boys were awesome during this wait. Reson and I got a great dose of worship time with each other. We talked about God and the things He has done in our lives. We listened to the wonderful Casting Crowns album "Until the Whole World Hears." After going to the concert, we have been listening to it, and after a couple of listens the song "At your feet" really hit our hearts.
Here at Your feet, I lay my past down
My wanderings, all my mistakes down
And I am free

Here at Your feet, I lay this day down
Not in my strength, but in Yours I've found
All I need, You're all I need

Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
Oh, to dwell and never leave
Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
There is nowhere else for me
There is nowhere else for me

Here at Your feet, I lay my future down
All of my dreams, I give to You now
And I find peace, I find peace
Here at Your feet, I lay my life down
For You my King, You're all I want now
And my soul sings…

‘Cause I am free (here at Your feet)
All I need (is at Your feet)
I find peace
We're at Your feet
We're at Your feet

And I am free (here at Your feet)
All I need (is at Your feet)
I find peace
We're at Your feet
We're at Your feet
We're at Your feet
We're at Your feet

Here at Your feet
I lay my life down
 
That's some good stuff. I have to say that Mark Hall and the 
band are phenomenal writers. Reson and I truly enjoyed getting 
this time together. 
 
Here are the photos to our best day ever.
Reson's sister and husband came with us.
Reson's favorite car
Our day started with a long worshipful car ride, beach time, 
shopping at one of my favorite places Whole Foods Market, 
Sam's club, and Ice Cream.
Then on Sunday after a wonderful time at church, we had a 
picnic and tried flying Luk's kite. The wind was off and on, 
but Luk was able to see it fly for a short time. 
The best weekend ever with my boys and best friend! 
Thank you Lord for all the praises you have given our family!
