Greenwald Flight Following: Uncle Timmy & A Day at the Aquarium

Throughout our journey, Pete and I have met some amazing people who we are blessed to call friends and grateful to be a part of one another's lives. One of these people is affectionately referred to as "Uncle Timmy" around our home and will forever be someone who we look up to and hope our son sees as an excellent male role model.

This week, Cade met his Uncle Timmy for the very first time. Through a series of life events and circumstances, this week was the first time that both Uncle Tim and the Greenwald family were in the same place at the same time since Cade was born. We have been waiting for this special time for quite a while (11 months or so, to be exact)!

Today, we spent the day at the Georgia Aquarium loving on the sea creatures and watching a fun (if a bit cheesy) show in the dolphin area. My personal favorite was right at the entrance - a "touch pool" with sting rays (no barbs attached) and little sharks! It was so exhilarating to stick my hand in the touch pool and feel the slippery and soft skin on the back side of the sting ray. What beautiful and graceful creatures!

Earlier in the week I had read in Genesis about the Lord God making all the birds of the sky and fish of the sea. What an imaginative and amazing God we love and serve, and who loves and serves us! After seeing the sea creatures today I am blown away at the creativity and detail that He put into His creation and more so blown away that He calls us friend and is intimately acquainted with each and every one of us. Tonight I stand in awe of our Lord just a little more than I did when I woke up today. And to think, these are just a FEW of the sea creatures and the fish of the sea are just a PART of the WHOLE creation. WOW!

Not only did my understanding of the Lord's creativity grow today, but it was such a fun day to share with our dear friend, Tim. Life doesn't bring us in the same area all to often any more, but he is one of those friends who you just pick right up where you left off and you let one another grow, learn, and be who God has created each of you to be. Pete and I are blessed to call him friend and can't wait for Cade to be able to say the words, "Uncle Timmy".
