Boys, Boys everywhere!

Wow! Today was quite a day! I am really beat!
I got up earlier than usual to get my walk because I had two of the Hauf boys, Matthew and Michael, here for the day. They got here at about 7:45 and we were on the go for the rest of the day!
Lisa Walk, Andrew's sister came over for a visit and brought her little guy, Josiah. He is such a doll.
So the house was really bursting with boys! They were all very good though. Very few scuffles and they had a blast outside!
Josiah is mastering the fine art of walking and he was exploring as much as his mom would let him.
After everyone left, I packed up my three and went up to Elkton to visit my friend Rachel, who is just home with her 11th, a little guy named Damian. He is so precious, and the Watkins family is just so special.
Little Grace Kelly, the youngest next to Damian, came right up and wanted to crawl into my lap, and the boys were immediately made honorary members of the family and went down to play.
I got to hold the little one and talk to Rachel, and you would never know that there were 14 children in the house!
I am just so inspired by all the friends in my life that welcome these precious people without question.
It sounds impossible, and I suppose it is, without the Grace of God. He is always faithful to the promises He makes to His family! The reason that it seems impossible to everyone else is because we don't have the Grace we would need to pull it off. I heard years ago that " The Will of God will never lead you where the Grace of God won't keep you." His Grace is sufficient to every task that He asks of us. No matter how huge it seems.
That is very encouraging...
