No one wants to sit in a dirty diaper all day long or feel the remeants of diapers past. One of the things our books told us about newborns is that they do not require a bath every day. Really? How would you feel not taking a bath or shower for a few days if it meant you sat in your own potty most of the day. I think Miss Avery deserves her bath time every night as we give it to her. We have it schedualed and it wont be changing till she gets old enough to do it herself. As we were changing her out last night I was thinking about these things and how they relate to life. I am on a constant search for live lessons to pass on to my girl.

Just like babies need to be changed often and bathed regulary so we need to be bathed in the Word of God. We may think that when we dirty up our day we can just wipe it away clean and change into some grace real quick. We almost abuse grace and forgiveness knowing there is an endless supply of it. He wants to do more than just visit with us a few moments. The Lord desires to take us into his arms and wash every area of our lives clean daily through His love and His word. He does this so that we will be clean and not remain with the stain of our daily mistakes and mess. Jesus looks forward to these times. Now Avery does not always look forward to them but its amazing to watch her as she gazes with trust into our eyes. She knows we are taking care of her and she feels it.

Well that is why I got from this weekend. Hope you had a good one yourself and I will get back with more updates later.
