green

as spring settles on moscow and everything has turned green overnight, i'm reminded of one of my favorite songs {and the inspiration for the name of this little blog}

the color green is from a song by rich mullins, and some of the lyrics are there on the right.

...look down upon this winter wheat and be glad that you have made, blue for the sky, and the color green, that fills these fields with praise...

even the trees and grass praise Him.

this was so evident yesterday evening when tim and silas and kai and i were out on the greenbelt outside our building.

there was so much life and activity happening there...

and silas and kai made new friends quickly.


tim and i had quite a task on our hands reassuring the moms we met that silas wasn't too cold in the warm and sunny 74 degree weather without a hat and sweater. everyone is looking out for everyone else, and there are some parts of that i really like.

and kai and her new friend, тимофев (tim)

















i was getting to spend some time with tina, one of the high school girls who i've gotten the privilege to do life with here, and before we went outside to meet tim and silas, from our kitchen window i saw...

yes he does! and so well!!!

lots more from this adventure yesterday on picasa.
