Opposites

Of course when we figure out our Christmas schedule to see all of our family, we always have to arrange when we are going to celebrate with the Gurgs.

The kids enjoy being around each other more and more every time we are together.  It is just priceless to watch them together.  They both call each other by name now ("Da-is" and "Nanna"), are both so sweet, and do such a good job of highlighting the stereotypical differences in little boys and little girls.  Seriously... 

Sweet Anna is such a girly-girl - so very dainty and gentle, handles toys and objects so carefully, and can make anything a pretend purse or baby.  And Davis is 110% boy - curious and uninhibited, enjoys building things so he can only then knock it down in a hurry, and can make anything a stick or a ball.  It makes us all laugh constantly to see how they are different and gives us a glimpse into what each of our families will be experiencing when our second babies arrive (the Gurgs are having a boy, and we'll be adding pink to our mix). 

Their opposite-ness (totally get that is not a word :) ) is always such a good reminder for me that the Lord sovereignly made us all just to his specific liking, for his wonderful purpose.  We are not all the same.  And Praise the Lord!  Because He will be given glory in how our unique differences are able to come together in Christ.

"You are the body of the Christ, and each of you is a part of it." 1 Corinthians 12:27

"In fact, God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be." 1 Corinthians 12:18

Thank you Anna and Davis for reminding me of this sweet lesson!



Love these sweet kiddos! 

Notice how Davis is turning ornaments into a ball to eventually be thrown and Anna has turned a walker into a stroller for her baby?  Love it!

Sweet hugs for sweet friends!!
