Karl and Moriah Schmidt joined me for a summer photo session at Townsend Part in the warm month of August. We climbed our way up hills in search of the most fun playsets and sunny lighting; we walked the trails and sat on old wooden park benches--and toddler Samantha found a new friend--a baby squirrel who had lost his mother. This moment showed us an explorative side of Miss Samantha--the happy, joy-filled, strong-willed, go-getter of a little person! She took bitty steps forward and peered at the tiny animal. "Daddy, look at the squirrel!!!"
Townsend Park never fails to bring together unique spots for arranging beautiful family poses, and jolly moments of play for the smaller explorers who accompany mom and dad.
Years ago I heard this quote authored by D.L. Moody:
"A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian…and most of all, his family ought to know."
Such true words. Rather if we find ourselves chasing an adventurous toddler, chatting with a teenaged sibling about their homework, or cleaning up another massacre of the living room legos, may our mode of family living declare to a lost world that to know Jesus Christ has such a power to change and transform the souls of fallen, sinful human beings that self can be evacuated, and Christ can be exalted in our daily living.
