Question: What is the chief end of man?Answer: To glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
As I was rereading this entry in a devotional book by A.W. Tozer, the words struck me in a new way. I knew that we were created to give God glory, but I never thought about the fact that God made ALL things for His pleasure...exactly how HE wants them.
The devotional book cited this verse from Revelation 4:11 -
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for Thou has created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created."
We don't have to do anything special to make God love us. He made us, and through that alone we are automatically pleasing to Him. Berkeley might be a little different from other kids, but she is exactly what God wants her to be...His.

On a lighter note, we were a bit shocked today when Brighton spelled out her first word with magnetic letters. The fact that she randomly picked letters that formed a real word was surprising enough, but if you look carefully at the picture, you'll see why we were really shocked! We usually sound out the words that we create, but we opted to keep quiet on this one!

That's my girl.
You know we felt the exact same way about Ian--God created him perfectly the way He wanted him to be. He wasn't perfect by the world's standards, but he was exactly who He created him to be! Berkeley will bring you all sorts of blessings in the days and weeks to come!
Brighton...that is SO FUNNY!
