The ~PARK~

Ryan and I took the little boys to the park the other day....It was so much fun! Why do I not do this type of thing more often? Joshua instantly made friends with some kids who were busy building sand castles...and Josiah just ran here and there trying to figure out what he could climb on all by himself! We only stayed for maybe 25 minutes, but the boys had a blast! Sometimes you get so wrapped up in the everyday business of life, that you forget to just "ENJOY" what God has given you! In this case, it is my children! As school time approaches, I am truly thankful for the summer break that I had with my kids! Not to mention, the "wake up and smell the coffee" reminder.....(drum roll please) that just because school is going to start and I am going to be so busy, well, it does not mean that I can not stop and smell the roses!

Psalm 127:3 "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward."

Personal Testimony

I was doing "well" for the average joe. I had a husband, a home, two beautiful children, a dog, 2 cars. Something was missing. It was LOVE. Not just any love it was the LOVE of JESUS! It was 2 a.m. I was on the phone. I was telling my friend how the weekend, husband, children they were just not enough anymore. Something was missing, and she told me what it was. She shared Christ with me. How He died for me and my sins, and all I had to do was accept Him. How could I do that? I had done some things that I was not to proud of.. How could I ever be forgiven for them? Then she told me that He paid for them already and that it is a free gift, all I had to do was accept HIM. I could not come before God with anything, but the blood of Christ. That was the only thing that could make me whole! That night, I prayed, I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour.. You too, can do the same.
