Sigh

So, dusty old blog, how long has it been? I've stopped pretending that I'm going to come back to this.

When? At what point in my day will I blog? What would I have to stop doing in order to fit it in? Dishes? I wish. Laundry? I suppose I could always wear the same pair of jeans, but I'm not sure how Kevin would feel about wearing dirty clothes. I could stop feeding the kids, but they get grumpy when they are hungry. I suppose, for now, I will have to just accept the fact that I do not have the capacity to blog. This admission makes me sad because I really enjoyed blogging. But, in light of the fact that I even stink at responding to emails these days, blogging definitely must wait.

And wait.

Too bad. I have some adorable videos of the kids.

*Sigh*

Perhaps, someday, I'll come back to it...

To my Dad

Happy Father's Day, Dad!!

I wish I could be there to hug you and look you in the eyes as I tell you how much you mean to me. Dad, I respect you and admire your faith. I have seen you walk through this year of multiplied trials with tremendous, unshakeable faith. You have been in a season much like Job, but have continued to say, "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord."

Thank you for standing fast. You have built your house on the Rock; now that the storm has come, you are withstanding the wind and the waves. Well done, Dad!

I look forward to the day when you will hear that from the One you have served here! I know such a small fraction of what you do in secret, but one day our Lord and Savior will reward you openly and you will hear him say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." (When I say that I look forward to it, I don't mean I would like you to go now!! It is my preference that you stay here for a good, long time. But I do enjoy thinking about what that day will be like for you.)

I love you! I hope you enjoy this special day. It is my prayer that you can feel the love of your children through the miles: from Tennessee to Maryland.

there is more to come...

too cute

I am posting this link for one person only: Aunt Debbie.

My aunt Debbie can make anything. Debbie, finally something to do with all those old tee-shirts! I'm sure I could find a little girl willing to wear it!

I've got a baby boy too...

:-)

The end of the road
