Unsure...men's retreat many years ago!

What a true blessing to be friends with all of you for so many years! We have shared so many memories! I am looking forward to many more!

Blessed

So, my adorable little boy walks into the room and says, "Mommy, the six year old hid my sock." I looked at him with a funny look and said, "The six year old? Why did you say that?"
"Because, if I say 'Katelyn hid my sock' then that would be tattling."
Oh, he makes me smile!



My little helper! She may be busy, but if I can steer that busyness toward helping rather than getting into things, it works out for the both of us!


One of my son's new favorite past times! Makenna loves to help, of course!


It fills my heart with Joy when my little girl sits herself
down to read the Bible.


I have the most wonderful friends in the world! Thank you for the wonderful shower and all the great gifts! I forgot to take pictures during the event, but did get one of this adorable decoration!


Don't be fooled by this innocence. Within 3 minutes of this picture she managed to color the table, booster seat, chair, and was heading for the floor! Thankfully, they were washable!


I am so blessed and thankful for my children! They all enjoy being together and are willing to include each other in their activities.

Proverbs 31

"Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."
"She is energetic and strong, a hard worker."
"She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy. She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes."
"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness."
"Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her:'There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all'"
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise."
Proverbs 31:10-12,17,20-21,25-31

Proverbs 30

"Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. Do not add to his words, or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar."
Proverbs 30:5,6

Proverbs 29

"Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back."
"To discipline a child produces wisdom..."
"Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad."
Proverbs 29:11,15,17

Proverbs 28

"Evil people don't understand justice, but those who follow the Lord understand completely."
"Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and rich."
"Young people who obey the law are wise; those with wild friends bring shame to their parents."
"Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble."
"Greed causes fighting; trusting the Lord leads to prosperity."
"Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe."
Proverbs 28:5,6,7,14,25,26

Proverbs 27

"The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense."
"As iron sharpens iron, as a friend sharpens a friend."
"As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person."
"Fire test the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised."
Proverbs 27:9,17,19,21

Good reminders!
