Only One Life.......

"Only one life
so soon it will pass
only what's done for Christ will last
Only one chance to do His will
So give to Jesus ALL your days
It's the only life that pays
when you recall, you have but one life"

I heard this song last evening in church and it has just been on my mind since.
I don't know, do you ever feel you get so caught up in just living life? Being a Mom, taking care of the house, caring for the children, trying to save money, or if you are the breadwinner, working so hard and so many hours to try to get the bills paid, just so busy that we sometimes forget the important things. I guess my mind has been going over this and I have been thinking about the fact that I only get one chance to make a difference! One chance to raise my little girls the right way so that they will live thier lives for Christ! One chance to be all that I should be and live so that others can see Jesus in me! It just makes some of these other "things" seem not so important. We don't have a promise of tomorrow! We may only have today!
I want to give to Jesus, all my days, hours and minutes, to live my best for Him and not forget I only have "ONE LIFE"

Trip to the Marion County Fair

A couple of weeks ago, my girls and I went with some of our Friends from church to our small town fair here in Marion. Sherah had a fantastic time getting to do the rides and be with the other children. Here are a few of the pictures of the fun time everyone seem to be having.

Updates!

I told you that I would be horrible at keeping up with this. I am just going to try to catch up here a little bit from the last couple months. Starting with Memorial Day Weekend. We started it out trying to get our flowers planted in our flower boxes and front flower beds. We just moved to this place in February and the flower beds need lots of work!!!

Sherah loves to "Help"

Daddy getting "Advice" :-)

Making sure the flowers have lots of water!

We had the privilege of having Josh's parent's here for Memorial Day

We all went and played Putt-Putt with Sherah, her first time to play!

What Fun!

I will post updated pictures of our flower boxes soon, they are really looking good now.

I am trying to remember all the interesting things that has happened since my last post, I have been getting "comments" from some of my very good friends about my blog not being updated regularly. Sorry, just seems like time gets by me and I don't get it done. Life has been very busy, this summer just seems to be flying by so swiftly. We went back to Somerset, Ohio (where we recently moved from) the middle of June and stayed a week with Josh's parents. Sherah went to VBS with my sisters girls. She really enjoyed being there and spending time with the girls.

My Little "Ladies"

Also, I know Father's Day has been a couple weeks ago, but I wanted to recognize the men in my life that are wonderful Fathers, of course my mind goes to my own Daddy. Looking back on my life, I am so thankful for the Father I have been given. I never remember a time when my Dad didn't live what he preached. At home or on vacation he was the same. He taught me to stand for what I believe no matter what the rest of the world may be doing. He taught me to always be honest and he taught me to Love God above all else. I have watched him face very dark days, but never once lost his faith in the Amazing God that we serve, Daddy, I Love You! Your the Best!

I also have a wonderful father-in-law. We had the privilege of being with him also. I believe that my husband is the father and husband he is to us, because of the example of his own father. Mike you are the greatest and I thank the Lord for allowing me to have you for my Second "Dad"

Last, but certainly not least is my Husband. Where do I begin? Honey, thanks for ALL you do for us. You are such a great Daddy and Husband. We love you and we are so thankful to have you just for us!

Well, that is all I have time for right now. I will try to post some pictures of our time at the fair last week. We had a great time!
