First Fishing Trip!

Avery's first Fishing trip with Daddy and Mister Jonathan! Avery was so excited, whenever a fish was caught he would say "YES SIR, YES SIR"!!

Miss Erin joined the fishing fun and caught a lizard fish. GROSS!

As the fish were getting thrown back into the water, Avery told them to "have a good weekend"!

Sweet Treats

I am making these for Savannah, for Christmas. I plan to make cake rolls, possibly some sandwich cookies, and I am also in the process of painting a 'tea' table for her. LOTS of crafting before Christmas. That is all we are getting her though, and might I say it is very cheap!

Restful Sunday

Sunday is such a wonderful gift from God to depart from our usual and rest! We have struggled with Sundays in the past, and we have come to a point in our lives where we literally take the Lord's day as RESTFUL. Mowing, gardening, any laborous work is put off, granted sometimes with a reluctant heart, but never the less we have come to rest on Sundays. In my working hands I feel a stirring to 'get going on something', but when I withhold my selfish desire until Monday. I am almost so eager to work that I am joyful in my work and projects! Praise God for his Holy plan for his people!

"For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath or rest, holy to the Lord." Exodus 31:15a NIV

Thirsty Thursdays

"Consider what God has done; Who can straighten what he has made crooked? When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future. In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these; a righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness. Do not be over righteous, neither be over wise- why destroy yourself? Do not be over wicked, and do not be a fool- why die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes. Wisdom makes one wise man more powerful than ten rulers in a city. There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins." Ecclesiastes 7:13-20 NIV
