June Blessings

June has held it's share of blessings for our family :)

For one, I am feeling pretty good these days (for which I am thankful)

Also, our garden is doing so well! (The flowers above are from flowers grown in our yard)

I have thoroughly enjoyed this lettuce! I eat salad 3x's a day and never tire of this one!

It is Amish Speckled Butterhead and it doesn't bolt in the heat!

We are now getting squash, zucchini, and we had our first cuke!

But, alas, no pics yet.

My herb barrel is doing great! I slip that apple mint in

when I juice-yum!

Our pastor's family has the church over during the summer so I snapped some pics one night :)

We have a devotion (brought to us by one of the young men)

we have a covered dish supper, singing, and lots of fun and fellowship

We were blessed with this lovely rainbow after some rain earlier in the month.

Brad celebrated his 19th birthday!

Bri celebrated her 22nd!

Mommom brought them an ice cream cake to celebrate

We celebrated Father's Day with dinner and gifts

It has been a jam packed month so far,

we been to several graduations, parties, and events.

 and it's not over yet!

We are thankful for the fellowship, milestones, and blessings that June has held for us

in our family.

Psalm 75:1
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks:

for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.



Happy Father's Day

I just want to wish my dear husband a Happy Father's Day!

He works so hard for our family, putting in countless hours of labor

some of it is at his physical job, and most of it is just investing in each one of our lives

He loves the Lord and strives to please Him in all that he does

and, he puts up with us--which is not always easy to do!

He has patience and lots and lots of love

He is kind-hearted

He is loving

One of his favorite passages of Scripture (and one that reminds me of him when I read it)

from Deuteronomy 6

...The Lord our God is one Lord:

⁵ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

⁶ And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

⁷ And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

⁸ And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

⁹ And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

We are blessed to have him!

Happy Father's Day Dear!

Catching up...

My goodness the time is flying! I haven't even had hardly a minute to post! :)

This is  a "catch up" post!

Brad's puppy is settling in nicely, and has been named Bingley--he also got his first bath!

He's also getting his fair share of attention!

Isn't he the cutest???

He's also growing--he topped 6 lbs!

I tried something new this year...added aluminum sulfate to my hydrangeas...these are all picked from the same bush--I guess I didn't add it evenly--love the results anyway! :)

One of the kids snapped this sunset--aren't we blessed?

...Brad turned 17!

Bri got her hair cut...and we went to a park for her birthday

... she turned 20!

...we attended the wedding of a sweet friend

...we celebrated Father's Day!

And...we had a delightful afternoon with dear friends!

We are indeed blessed!

Our life is busy, and full--and we're thankful!

Hope you're enjoying your June before it's over!

What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade.

Happy Father's Day Honey!

I just had to make a post to thank my hubby for being such a great father!

He is a "hands on" kind of Dad!

He sacrifices much to put all he has into serving the Lord by being

a faithful father

We appreciate him so much!

We are blessed to have him as ours!

Happy Father's Day Dear!

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong

1 Corinthians 16:13

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

My Father is our God in Heaven,

to Him I always pray.

My father is a son of God,

who led me in God's way.

My Father built the world in days,

to Him I owe my all.

My father built my life in years,

lifting should I fall.

Father leads me through dark valleys

to worship everyday.

My father taught me in green pastures,

when my head to lay.

My Father shares the Holy Spirit,

it's how we know His will.

My father knows the Holy Spirit,

he helped my heart to fill.

My Father is the head of families,

throughout the world each day.

My father loves and leads his family,

in ways that words can't say.

My Father is the Father God,

who is the great I AM.

My father is a child of God,

who showed me Christ the Lamb.

Wishing the best Dad, the best Day!
