Momma Monday

Funny that I posted a picture of myself for Momma Monday :)  However, it does make sense!  A couple of weeks ago I was making a newborn owl hat, I finished it on a Wednesday evening while I wasn't at home.  Thursday, the kids did their school work in the morning, then the afternoon was a bit of free time until we had to leave.  About 2 PM the boys got so excited and said that Rachel had a surprise for me!  They were jumping all around and just overwhelmingly excited and proud of this mysterious surprise.  I thought, maybe she made me a card, or ...something along those lines, I was shocked!  when she gave me this crocheted hat!  It was unbelievable! Literally!  She didn't use a pattern, had never made a hat before, and had only watched me make hats!
Titus 2 is a very cool chapter in the Bible that talks about how important it is that we teach the younger generation, and that we learn from the older generations.  Also, how important it is that we do what is right for Christ.  In verses 3-5 it says,

 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. ⁴ Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, ⁵ to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

I didn't really teach Rachel how to make a hat, but she did learn by watching, and also by a lot of wisdom in what she had been previously taught, and God must have given her some wisdom as well.  She whipped up 4 hats in a few days, the boys were more than anxious to have one of her creations, and she made one for herself.  She sure is a super talented and beautiful young lady!
