I can't begin to express how special it is to have all of your family; children, grandchildren, parents, inlaws, all in the same three pews :)
Michael preached about the 5th commandment. Everyone one was at church... Tiffany and Jon, Adelina and Jensen, Buddy (and Sarah), Lydia, Mandie, my parents, and Mr. and Mrs. Cannon and Jesse and Haley!
Exodus 20:12
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you."
Michael brought THREE bouquets of flowers!!!!
Lillies, perfect for mothers day - and filled the house with sweet fragrance.....
my favorite roses (great for drying)....
and PEONY's! Yes, Peony! Who knew you could get them south of the mason dixon!?!?!
Jensen was baptised this day. Very special day :)
Michael loves having company over :) We spent a lot of time trying to get the construction trash out of the house and make it comfortable for everyone to come over after the church service for lunch. (even though we had done without air conditioning for days just to make sure it worked Sunday.... it didn't :/ )
Mandie's gerber daisies came up from last year in our wash tub and she added some petunias for extra color :)
At the end of the day, I was reminded that the family circle may grow bigger and bigger, but it just gets stronger and there is more and more love to go around. Our prayer circle keeps growing :)
The good thing is that the woman I am married to is the one that wrote all this!
