A Rare Day!

Posted on by Mary

Today is a rare day. my hubby has off from work. No he didn’t take off he was given it off. The father of his boss (once hubby’s boss) passed away this last week. Hubby didn’t know him very well. Anyway the shop was closed down for the day and he must go to the funeral this afternoon but other than that he is working in our basement trying to tie up some loose ends!!

Also please pray for the family. He was not a believer and neither is the rest of the family. Not to mention family strains are so hard on the whole family.

This is a tractor that my grandfather and my dad and a couple of uncles built together. I remember riding on it as a small child and though it does not run anymore Tornado really enjoys sitting on it and pretending…pop Pop has to put a new engine in it and maybe someday it will run again!

Fruit Loops and Cheerios

This was a fun little project that I hoped would occupy the kiddos for a few moments last week so i could do a few things! It was simple thread fruit Loops and cheerios onto yarn to make necklaces. The attention span lasted all of 5 minutes. Lady bug ate her 10 she strung herself and Tornado got bored after about 10 minutes so then I had to sit and help them…So much for getting stuff done right?

Word Filled Wednesday

So many times as Christians we forget the simple things of our faith (such as Creation) and get so wrapped up in the arguments of faith. I am by no means saying that creation was simple. But All God had to do was speak and it happened. How amazing is that.

The strength, the power and order, the idea, the love ,the care, the perfectness. That is our God!

My husband Rocks Friday

Posted on by Mary

I have been married for almost 5 1/2 years now. I love being married to my husband. I can’t imagine being married to anyone else. Long before we were married or engaged, or even courting we were best friends. I am not just saying that. I am being sincere. We loved doing everything together!

We were told then that we would grow to love each other more and more as the years passed, and we believed everyone who told us that but in our finite minds we had no idea how that could be possible! Well I can tell you today that I love my husband more than I thought could be possible. It makes me wonder what the next thirty years hold!

I can also tell you that life without my husband would be incredibly boring! He is such a joy…and it brings even more joy to my heart to hear our children giggle as they pay with their daddy. I truly have an amazing man. And I think that this carnival is amazing because it gets the focus off of ourselves and on to our spouse who God Has given to us!!!!
