I love my Husband!



I was tagged by my good friend Deanna to do this meme.




Here are the rules: grab the graphic and insert with these rules, in your post. Give at least 5 reasons why you love your hubby. List more if you want. Tag 5 people (or more) to play along and link to their blogs in your post.Then visit those women’s blogs and leave them a comment on any of their posts. Now that I have shared the rules, it’s my time to share my reasons:


1. He loves God.

2. He loves me unconditionally.

3. He is my best friend.

4. He is a good provider.

5. He is a fantastic father.

6. We work well as a team, he isn't the typical man who expects his wife to bow to him and kiss his feet (gross).

7. He supports all that I set my mind to do.

8. He helps manage the house, doing dishes, laundry, caring for our kids.
9. He manages to love me even when I am moody and snappy.

I could list more but I was told to at least list 5 and then tag 5 friends...which will be hard since I do not have 5 friends who have not already done this or actually blog...so I tag

Miracles are happening and what was found...

First off, some great news! I got a call today from my mom telling me that our friend Debi is able to feel her big toe on her left foot (had no feeling yesterday) AND she moved her foot a smidgin' away when the doctor pinche her toe. AND she has tingling in both legs!!! Which are all fantastic signs! Keep Praying we are standing firm and believing for this miracle! God can and still does move mountains!

Things found:

This afternoon my kids brought in the largest black hairy caterpillar have ever seen! Seriously it scared the tar out of me! So what does a good mom do? Tells the kids to go wash their hands and give me something to get him off my bed! Once it was removed from my bed and placed on some paper we started to investigate. Thank goodness for the internet, you can find almost any and everything possible. Some not so nice stuff and others ~ fantastic. My camera is in need of batteries at the moment so I am pasting some pictures from Hilton Pond. This wonderful black beast, which measured 2 inches long, actually turns into the Giant Leopard Moth.

Now you tell me God's creation isn't amazing! To go from a hairy worm to a beautiful flying moth! It's like what happens to the sinner, when they except Jesus Christ as their Savior and allow Him to transform them, they turn into a beautiful creation in Christ! That is another reason I love butterflies! The transformation that is uniquely designed by God!

My Friend Needs A Miracle

On Thursday our friend Debi, pictured here in black, went in to surgery for a ruptured disc. Something went horribly wrong during the surgery and when she woke up she was
paralyzed on the left side of her body. As of last night the paralysis now from the waist down
and has been placed on a feeding tube because she no loner has working bowels or bladder.
Debi is a fine lady. She has been a hair dresser for over 30 years. She has two children and four grandchildren with one on the way. She has endured many life trails and right now she is
on the toughest one of her life. As of last night she was starting to have difficulty breathing. This vibrant, energetic woman needs our prayers and yours. Please lift Debi Gesky up in your prayers, in your church services and spread the word. Debi needs a miracle right now and she needs God to move the mountains out of the way. God is a big God and He created the mountains and He has the power to move them. Stand with me and her family today as we seek God's healing power for Debi!

Absent...

from blogging. The last few days, well actually since Friday night I have been tending to sick kids again. Not sure what in the world is going on but Friday night lets just say I had to change my clothes twice. The babies as we call them, even though they are 4 1/2 yrs old, one right after the other got sick all over me! If there is anything I can't stand its drool and a close second is the contents of a sick stomach! Specially if its all over me!

So as the weekend progressed, Sunday arrived and I was ready to teach the kids in children's church....but Sara was still weak from being sick and Eli was still very sick, not keeping anything down. "Poor little fella," as Sara says. Naturally Momma ends up with it too. YUCK! Thankfully I just had an upset stomach for 24 hours. But Eli, is still sick. We took him to the doctor today just to make sure there was no dehydration going on. Thankfully he is doing better tonight. Keeping everything in and was able to eat a few chips with his flat sprite. Which is great! The little guy lost 4 lbs in 5 days. Not good!

Anyway, during this time I have been busy searching for pictures to create a picture story board for Kristofer. A picture story board basically tells him what happens when and gives him a schedule. Our afternoons are the toughest around here so the story board I am hoping will give us a bit less craziness. Last night I had Kristofer help me put the pictures in order of what he wants to do. I made only one correction for him...computer time after homework. He chose the spot to hang it as well.
Today was the first day of using it fully and it went great! When he began to have a bit of a meltdown I just said, "Go look at the story board!" He came back said, "ok home work is next!" Easiest day of doing homework we have had! That and I have incorporated the trampoline into out homework time. He does one or two problems and then gets to jump. It gives him the outlet he needs and he comes back and sits down to do the next couple of problems. It's been great doing it this way!













Today Kristofer was having problems with everyone being near him. So he put on this baseball helmet and said, "I am protected from the evil invaders!" I guess that is how he sees all his sibs when they are in his personal space...as invaders! I had to take the pictures of him, he was just to funny as he was saying these things.

God is so good. No matter what comes my way I will praise Him!







There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

chorus:
How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives
And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

chorus

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne.
