Mark recently changed the vent for our air conditioning unit in the house. It was nasty. There was a lot of crud and build-up on it so it was nice of him to put in a new, fresh one. It made me start thinking. When I get all cruddy and "built-up" with negativity, I begin to "vent"...I begin blowing the nasty crud all over my family that has built-up inside of me. I wonder if my husband and children think, "Well, it's time for a new mommy. This one's all full."
I think that's one of the great uses of prayer. It's like an automatic vent-replacement. When we don't pray regularly, all the negativity that comes upon us daily just builds up and builds up until there's no fresh, clean words to give to anyone; instead, there are only negative thoughts and words to share.
This may be a silly thought to anyone else out there, but it was a great visual for me. Prayer cleans your vents and keeps the clean "air" flowing!

That was an awesome thought. Thanks Kim. I thought at first you were gonna suggest we all clean our vents and I was just gonna say, well, as a homeowner for years and years that's something I've know a long time. BUT, whoever thought to turn it into a devo thought. Good going. I need to do some cleaning a little more often.
Only a true 'writer' can turn air ducts into spirituality and make it uplifting and funny at the same time!
I love all of your pictures and the slide show! Your children are beautiful. Maggie is growing into such a georgous little angel! She looks so BIG!
I've been home all day long with just Cameron and me. I haven't gotten a thing done! I don't know how you do it.
