my hubby

He told me to never post a picture of him, but this one is so good, I just HAD too.  hee hee!

this spoke to me when I read it

Keep yourselves in the love of God.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
The fruit of the Spirit is love.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected.
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

scriptures

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory.

Hmmm.  So lazy days are nice, but I feel guilty.  

Enjoy this pic from our church firework display.  Awesome!

july 4th

Okay.  Wow, so tonight I had 18 people in my home, eating porkchops, and potatoes...and lots more.  It was all family and it was all fun (4 people we "call' family)!  I did all the grilling and it's my fave thing.  I think I am really understanding grilling now...finally.  No more dry meats.  

I had 7 nieces and nephews over so Mikey went and bought fireworks for them all.  They had a blast.  Most of them were lit during the daytime, but they saved a few for the night.  It's really hard watching all my nephews with fireworks...all of them throwing them at different directions.  But, noone was hurt, probably because there more people supervising than there were nephews.  LOL!  

So, all is well and quiet now.  The best part of all..............Natalie is cleaning her bedroom!!!!!  God is good!  :)

scriptures

These are a few scriptures I found combined, on my daily devotional and I liked them.  :)  

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God.

We had our church July 4th fireworks celebration tonight, 2 days early.  There were thousands of people!  It was unbelievable!  The fireworks were awesome.  I enjoyed visiting with friends and family.  But the nicest part of all, was there were so many visitors and I was happy to see all of them having a great time.  Yay! for free food, drinks, snow balls and cotton candy....oh and those glow sticks for all the kids.  Happy 4th!
