As you know if you have been reading
my blog lately the kids and I have declared June as Father's Month and
have been doing things every day to honor my kids dad. Today I
want to take a few minutes and honor my own dad...
He Was My Dad
He was my dad, He was always there for me. He made me laugh and listened to every word I said.
He was my dad, He complimented me daily. He believed in me.
He was my dad, I knew it was the most important thing in the world to him. I probably took him a little for granted, Although I somehow always knew he was the cream of the crop!
He was my dad, I loved to hear him sing in church, And smell his cologne, And make him proud...
He was my dad I never had to wonder if he loved me. He told me he did everyday. He lived his life in a way That proved his family was the most important thing to him.
He was my dad And if I ever dissapointed him He never let it show. He was my dad and Being with him was always something I cherished.
He was my dad, He loved my Mom Together they showed me what marriage should be like.
He was my dad, I pray that I am a bit like him. I hope that even though my kids never knew him They see a part of him in me everyday.
He was my dad, I know without a doubt that I was blessed. He taught me so much About being the peron I want to be.
He was my dad, I am so glad he loved the Lord, Because I know That someday we will meet again.
He was my dad, And that made all The difference in my life...
Hot Summer Night,
Tank tops,
Flip flops.
Pick-up Trucks,
Sleeping bags
& lawn chairs.
Candy,
Popcorn,
Grape Soda...
Murmuring voices,
Little ones squeal,
Families together.
Lights flicker,
Radios tune in,
It's time!
I remember my chilhood
And dates with my husband...long ago.
Sticky hands take mine
As we settle down in the dusty parking lot.
Sweaty snuggles from hot sticky kids.
Sweet memories...
Drive In Movies,
Who cares what's playing?
I get up first, I pray, I make breakfast, I get everyone dressed. I tell Dad goodbye, We start school, I pray, I make lunch, I change diapers, I do laundry, I pray, I wash dishes, I check Math, I play games, I read books, I change channels, I pick up toys, I laugh at jokes, I ask questions, I answer questions, I kiss boo boos, I pray, I wipe bottoms, I find missing marker lids, I trip over crayons, I serve snack, I enjoy quiet time, I pray, I supervise bike rides, I start dinner, I welcome Dad home, I wash dishes, I pray, I run errands, I give bathes, I tuck in children, I pray, I relax with my hubby, I blog, I check email, I get sleepy, I tuck everyone in again... I go to bed last, I pray, I am grateful, I will do it all again tommorrow.
I am Mom, I am blessed!
And that means everything...
Happy Mother's Day!!!

Moments after my 3rd child was born. I never even dreamed I would be the Mom to 3, but at this moment my unimaginble dream came true! My precious kids!
15 years ago today my husband and I lost our 1st child at the beginning of the 5th month of pregnancy. Last night I happened to come across this poem I wrote 15 long years ago. I thought I would share it on my blog as a memorial to my precious child who is in heaven with Jesus.
You never lived upon this earth,
but you will always live within my heart.
Lost Lullaby
I never sang you a lullaby,
I thought I'd have plenty of time.
I never sang you a lullaby,
I thought you would always be mine.
I never sang you a lullaby,
I took for granted I'd do it someday.
I never sang you a lullaby,
Now our somedays been taken away.
I never sang you a lullaby,
I just knew that someday I would.
I never sang you a lullaby,
Now, how I wish that I could.
I never sang you a lullaby,
I meant to, but our time went too fast.
I promised to sing you a lullaby,
In heavens sweet garden, alas!
2 Samuel : 22 - 23 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

Five years ago today you were born Into our family…. Vibrant and joyous from the start Everyday with you is such a joy!
Yes, we waited a long time for you to come, Every prayer and heartache was worth it! All the things we dreamed a daughter could be Resound from your Spirit!
Once again I thank God for you! Loving you is a delight Darling daughter of mine…
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But
store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not
destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21
You asked me to marry you today, And nothing could have made me feel any happier, Even though I knew my answer had to be no. Yes, I know you love me unconditionally, And there is no doubt that I love you with all my heart. Nothing would make me happier Than the thought of spending the rest of my days with you! But, I know that God's plan is for you to marry another... I tried to explain to you that I am already married, But you didn't seem to care, You still thought I would be the perfect wife. When you looked at me with those sad eyes and asked "Well then, who will I ever marry?" I felt a mixture of sadness and joy. As I promised someday you would meet the girl of your dreams. So my precious son, No, I will not marry you. But, I want you to know that the day you asked "Mommy, when I grow up and get big will you marry me?" Is a day I will always treasure.
My
4-year-old daughter is insisting that she will marry her older brother
when she grows up! All this talk about marrying brought me back 8
years ago when that same son wanted to marry me!
We have homeschooled our children from the start and we love every minute of it! This is my place to share my thoughts on homeschooling, my kids and living for the Lord. All the while being a little outside the box!!
