Happy Father’s Day!!

I wanted to wish all the father’s a Happy Father’s Day!

“He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. If anyone does not know how to manage his own family how can he take care of God’s Church.” – 1 Timothy 3:4-5

I thank God every day for giving me such a wonderful God-fearing husband and loving father of my children. I am so blessed. Happy Father’s Day, sweetheart! I really cannot begin to tell you what you mean to me. Thank you for all that you do for me and for our children. Through you, I am very blessed. I love you!

I’m also very thankful to have a loving father. Thank you, Daddy, for always being there for me! God has also blessed me with a Father-In-Law who loves me like a daughter. God has truly blessed me.

Egg Incubation – Day 18

Today, I took the turner out of the incubator and laid the remaining 8 eggs down on their sides so that the chicks can get ready to hatch. If all goes well, I hope to have 8 more baby chicks to add the the ones that I got today.

7 Quick Takes #1

 

I’ve loved reading “7 Quick Takes” for a while now and thought that I would join in this week.  These are definitely 7 random thoughts quick takes. 

1.

I’ve loved the time I’ve had this week to able to read God’s word.  It really uplifts my spirit and starts my day off right!

2.

I’m taking my daughter, Katie, to AWANA camp tomorrow.  She has never been to a camp before, and I’m not sure how I feel about her going.  It means she’s growing up and I don’t know that I’m ready for that yet.  It was hard enough sending Melia on the 8th grade Washington, D.C. trip earlier this year, but now this?  How much can my mommy heart take?  My babies are growing up.  At least Michael’s not going off this year!

3.

Melia is growing into a lovely young lady whom I’m very proud of, but boy do I hate the hormones that come with it! 

4.

Why is that we moved here almost 2 years ago and there are still boxes of stuff that we have yet to go through?  I think it’s time to get rid of some stuff.

5.

My chickens are so silly.  They think that every time I walk out the back door I’m supposed to have a treat for them.  LOL  I guess I’ve really spoiled them!

6.

I really enjoy watching my kids play nice together.  I love watching their imaginations soar!

7.

Last, but definitely not least, I want to say a special “thank you” to my hubby!  Thank you for being such a wonderful husband, and thank you for being an awesome dad to our children.  I am so blessed that God saw fit to join us together and give us 3 beautiful children.  I love  you!  Happy Father’s Day!
