July Happenings

Here's our July so far in pictures....

My Macho Man showing of his muscles

And mowing the yard with his Mater Bubble Blower

And being an astronaut

A rare picture of me with both my boys

Fourth of July....the fireworks were loud
(And YES it's light out! My children are miserable when they stay up late and I don't feel the need to force them to stay up for a few fireworks. And it's not dark until 10pm)

Hubby pulling on some fire crackers

Me showing off my muscles :)

Reading time with Grammy

I cut his hair! He looks like such a big boy!

The damage

Seriously cute!

My big boy!

Five Minute Friday: Welcome

1. Write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing.

2. Link back here and invite others to join in

3. Go and tell the person who linked up before you what their words meant to you. Every writer longs to feel heard.

Welcome.

You are welcome Lord of Lords, You are welcome King of Kings!
You are welcome here!

I want my home, my family and my heart to sing this song every day! I want to welcome the King of Kings into our lives so that my sons know is voice. I want them to hang out with Him like a friend, the one who comes over unannounced and puts His feet on your coffee table. You don't mind, because that's just who He is and you love Him all the more for it.

I want to welcome in those who may not feel welcome somewhere else. So that they might hang out with our friend Jesus as well. And they can take Him home with them - because even if He's with them, He's still with us. How amazing is that? We can share and still not lose what we have. In fact, when we share, I believe we get even more of Him.

I'm not saying I succeed in that now. No, in fact I would say I fail most of the time. But, it's my desire none the less.
