My Crazy Boys

I have not been feeling well so I guess my family thought I needed to be cheered up. When they got back from the grocery store last night KevinII was holding this fudge round (which is one of my favs) and they handed me a birthday card. It is not my birthday but the sillyness definitely made me feel better. Thank You, Kevin, Kevin, Nathan and Braeden. I couldn't ask for a better family.

Love and Marriage

I have been thinking a lot about Love and Marriage. I have been thinking about the differences between marriage back in the day and today.

Marriage used to be a committment that was NEVER broken no matter what. People loved each other unconditionally and unselfishly. I think that might be the problem. SELFISHNESS. We can't seem to get past our own needs and wants to look at someone else, even if that someone is our husband/wife.

I grew up in a home that was not perfect. My parents were not perfect and they had problems, but they LOVED each other unselfishly and unconditionally. They taught thier children to love unselfishly and unconditionally. I remember as a child, and all my life, my dad would play his guitar and sing this love song to my mom and I believe he meant every word. It has become my favorite memory of my dad. We sang it at his funeral.

I will leave you with the words and if I have enough nerve I will put a video of me singing it.

Yours Love
May the fruit of my toil
Be yours love
May the food of my soil
Be yours love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong and lives on and on
Be yours love

May the sons that I raise
Be yours love
May the comforts I praise
Be yours love
And ever I get weak may the love words I speak and the arms that I seek
Be yours love

May the Lord's shining grace
Be yours love
May the happiest face
Be yours love
And may the last fingertips that touch these two lips as life from me slips
Be yours love

Another Death

Well, we are on our way out of town this weekend for another funeral. My husband's Aunt passed away yesturday. This makes the 5th funeral I have been to this year.

This may sound bad but I can see how God has blessed us through every trial this year.

I can't help but think of my dad with every death since he passed away in March. I am having all kinds of emotions. Everything from sad to mad. (pray for my family LOL)

I am so glad that I have the Lord. I don't know what I would do without him.

I know that everyone at Life Tabernacle will have wonderful services this weekend. I wish that I could be there, but since I can't I will just say
WELCOME Pastor and Sis Holley!! I don't really know you but everyone that does is SOOO excited that you are our new pastor so you must be wonderful people. I look forward to getting to know you.

RainForest Cafe

This weekend we went to the Rain Forest Cafe. We tried to go there a couple a years ago but Nathan freaked out and we had to leave. This time the little guys loved it and we had a lot of fun. Here are some pics of us while we were there.
Braeden making a silly face. He is ALWAYS making a silly face.
