Verse of the Day

“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” -Philippians 2:5-8 Listen to chapter

Lots of Blessings!

This weekend, we had the genuine pleasure of spending time with our big family.  Dear Husband's older kids, along with their spouses and kids, all gathered for food and fun!



I would have to say that we must be one of those rare families that can still, in spite of divorce, get together and enjoy each other's company.  Most of the credit, I believe, must go to the former Mrs. H.  I'm certain I must not be the easiest person to be around... yet, she choses to get together with all of us, and does so with grace and humility.  In fact, Mrs. H even helped to celebrate Miss B.'s 8th birthday!  How many ex-wives do you know who would buy their ex-husband's daughter a birthday gift?  So when I say I'm blessed, I do mean it!  She is Christ, in action.

The weekend was a crazy time of swimming, eating, and lots of laughing.  Thanks, family!

This is our son-in-law, J., with ever so cute, Mr. I.
