Brauner Backyard

You gotta love your grand kids! 

I love my grandson, Eli (not to mention his mom and dad).  He makes me laugh.  He likes this gnome in our backyard but not because it is a gnome.  He likes to put rocks and stuff in the gnomes pot.

Eli has not been beaten down by popular opinion or the negative comments about his silly actions.

He likes Thomas the Tank Engine.

He thinks his father's mini van is his personal fort.

His favorite food is ketchup.

And he doesn't care what you or I think.

Oh that we had the faith of child; that we could be that unique creature we were created to be and that we have been set free in Christ to be.

Those who are in Christ are new creations.  "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."  2 Cor. 5:17 ESV

As a new creation of Christ, I invite you today to find your Thomas the Tank Engine, your own personal fort and a bottle of ketchup and celebrate what God has made you to be.

God loves his children.
