Spiritual Sundays ~ Fathers Day

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

As we all celebrate our Fathers this weekend, I am missing my Daddy. I have peace knowing that he is with our Heavenly Father, celebrating the Ultimate FATHERS day!! I am so thankful for all the years the Lord blessed me with my dad. As we prepared to say good-bye, The Lord blessed me with the gift of learning of my Daddy's Eternal home. In HIS Final hours and truly one of his final conversations, I learned of my Dads Salvation. So many of you all had prayed for this very moment. Just one of the MANY gifts from the Heart of my Heavenly Father ♥

I pray that those who may not have a good relationship with their earthly Father will come to know their Heavenly Father. For it is HIM and only HIM who loves you unconditionally. thinks of you continually and longs to show you what the true love of a Father is.

Please join us @ Spiritual Sundays and I pray you all have a blessed Fathers Day weekend

Tuesday's Here!!

I am soooo excited that Tuesday is here! Last week, My sweet granddaughter Rylee said she wanted to see NONI ♥ Sooo, even though Papa is away and is sooo sad he is missing her, she will be coming this afternoon and spending the night! We are all beside ourselves EXCITED!! She always keeps us in stitches...The last time she came over and spent the night she told us that our cats according to Rylee were "Britney Spears cats" LOLOL Ok, how does she even know about Britney Spears?? We are constantly doing something to "Fweak her out" and then she says "I dont wanna talk about it!!" Oh that little girl! She is a mess! We are going to gobble her up and spoil her rotten!

This weekend while we were doing our electric fence, the Lord dropped an idea in my head. About a month 1/2 ago, we got some new neighbors! I have shared how awesome they are and how she has put in sooo many flower beds and is teaching me how to do the same. Anyway, we all have lots of trees on our lots, but again, we all have such rock issues, some of the trees just don't make it. So my neighbor had a tree knocked down and my DH was there watching it come down and said "Hey, just push that over to our yard and we can use it for Firewood next winter." Soooo, it was a HUGE TREE and it has been in our backyard ever since. I felt the Lord say, "get that tree cut up for Brian for Fathers Day." I told my daughter about it and she immediately said, "I will see if anyone can switch hours for me at work because I want to help." So as soon as my honey walked out the door, I started making phone calls looking for some Chain saws. Long story short ~ Our neighbor and very close friend, Dusty, came down with chain saw in hand and went to town. We were able to get the tree completely cut up and in the perfect size for our fireplace. We stacked it and our yard looks sooo much better! I KNOW Brian will sooo appreciate not having to do the work, cutting it up, stacking it, especially with the heat the way it has been here! Praise the Lord for awesome neighbors!!!
I can tell him we all worked on His gift together :)

I have been reading some really AWESOME books lately..So if you are looking for a Great Summer Read, visit my Book Review blog here

Fathers Day ~ Spiritual Sundays

When I asked the Lord what to post, I then added that I wanted it to be in regards to Fathers Day but wanted it to be what God wanted! I feel this is what HE wanted me to post even though I did this last year....Reading a Love letter is something we can do over and over again and the Words become more and more Precious as the years go by....Isn't that so much more true with Gods Words! May you experience HIM anew as you hear these words that HE wrote ~ JUST.FOR.YOU!




May you all have a blessed Fathers Day as we celebrate and Praise our Heavenly Father!
