“Yet the duties God requires of us are not in proportion to the strength we possess in ourselves. Rather, they are proportional to the resources available to us in Christ. We do not have the ability in ourselves to accomplish the least of God’s tasks. This is a law of grace. When we recognize it is impossible for us to perform a duty in our own strength, we will discover the secret of its accomplishment. But alas, this is a secret we often fail to discover.”
This quote has kept Kristina sane lately. Raising, loving, and being patient with three kids (one of them being Ben – who can climb anything) requires strength we do not possess.

I like that too. I’m going to have to remember that come September when our third BOY arrives!!

Awesome, Erin! That is great. I officially dub you a good Old Testament wife. You would have made a patriarch proud. Kristina and I have found that the leap from 2 to 3 kids has not been as bad as from 1 to 2. There are moments, though. I wonder what Denise and Brian would say about the leap from 2 to 3.

That’s encouraging to know that going from 2 to 3 is not that bad. I have heard that from other people too, so we are hopeful that will be true for us as well. Glad to know you guys are handling things okay with your new bundle.
