He Said, She Said

We have been talking a lot lately about Anna Brooke's husband. Now don't get worried. She doesn't have one picked out yet!

But, we pray regularly for our children's spouses and their familes.

As well as their friends and their families.

As well as anybody they seem to look up to.

So, there's been much dialogue around here about poor Anna Brooke's husband. Right now, he's proud that he hit a homerun in the game of backyard baseball.

And so unsuspecting of what lies ahead for him.

I am praying he will be the most patient thing that has every come up against her. I know that this means the little guy will have endured a lot of trial before he ever meets her. But, trust me, he will need all the patience he can get a hold of. And then some more.

Anyway, over the weekend I heard this conversation:

Daddy: Luke, are you going to help Anna Brooke find a husband one day?

Luke: Oh, yes, Daddy, he's going to be my best friend.

Daddy: Are you going to tell him about these times when y'all were little and all the things she used to do to you?

Luke: YES, DADDY, I'M GONNA TELL 'IM ALL ABOUT HOW SHE USED TO MOVE MY STUFF IN MY ROOM AND ABOUT THE TIMES SHE KILLED MY FISH. SHE DUMPED ALL THE FOOD INTO THE TANK AND HE DIED. (holding up two fingers) TWO TIMES!!!!!!!

Daddy: Well, Luke are you going to help him know how to be a good husband for Anna Brooke?

Luke: Yes, Daddy, HE'S GONNA NEED SOME HELP!


I am going to say in Anna Brooke's defense that she will make a fine wife and Mommy one day. But her husband is going to need to be patient. And I am thankful that the LORD knows already. I can't wait to meet him.

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
