Friday’s Family Friendly Finds {April 10, 2015 edition}
Spring has sprung, and pollen is everywhere! The beauty around us this time of year is so wonderful. Blooms and buds are so wonderful, the garden is starting to have some plants break through, and the grass is getting really green.
How could anyone look at the beauty around them this time of year and not contemplate how wonderfully creative and powerful God is? “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1), and the Spring plants echo the same message!
On to this week’s family links. Since we skipped posting last Friday due to Lads to Leaders, we have a huge number of family links for you to enjoy this weekend!
