Look What Daddy Brought Home...

Last Saturday we had a lot going on at home. There was to be a cookout that evening for our youngest son's birthday. I had been to town to shop for food etc., husband and sons were mowing the grass and I was getting food prepared. Daddy needed to go get some gas for the lawn mower, so off he went on a simple errand - just to get gas. When he came back, he told the birthday boy to go out to his truck and get the package out of the front seat.

What do you know - this little guy popped out!
This son has been asking for a puppy since Christmas. Dear Husband and I evaluate and rationalize things like this for a while: who will take care of it, where will it sleep, etc... we don't make rash decisions, but as husband was getting the gas, there were puppies available and he stopped and picked one up!


Needless to say this made the son extremely happy! He sure is a cute little guy isn't he? We named him Scooter and he seems to be fitting right in!



Don't worry, there will be lots more pictures and updates on our puppy adventure. Thanks Dad for a great gift!

    I know all too well the joys and trials that new puppies bring. The joys far outweigh the trials. Scooter is adorable!

    Thank you for praying for my family and me. My daughter is fine but stranded in southern Texas due to the hurricane. She called and she sounds pretty sad. She was due to come home today. They have no electricity and some food but they have begun rationing it. I'm trying to not worry as she is in the Lord's hands.

    What a cute little puppy! He looks like a puppy from the litter of pups our dog had several years back.

    What an adorable puppy. Scooter is so cute. I too, want so much to glorify God with my blog. I recently gave my blog address to everyone I went to high school. That was a scary thing to do, because it is giving out all my personal life, feelings, quirks, etc. I am praying that many would come to Christ from hearing the Scriptures on my blog, and a few things that God has done for me. You have a great goal too. Very good. May God bless you blog. Kathi

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
