Fishing

There is no doubt that the "lake" is what sold Paul on the property. . .and it is fun. While he and the boys seem to slip off early mornings or evenings to fish a bit, he also makes time to take and teach anyone willing to learn! What fun to watch the little girls all reel in their first fish! What proud smiles!

Hapy birthday, Bek!

Bekah turns 8!

Bekah Ruth turned eight years old today! It's always fun to celebrate a birth day around here. . .and we have quite a few opportunities during the year. But, we are each only given the one day a year and the birthday kid seems to relish it! It's neat to see the siblings make and buy things for each other and enjoy the giving and surprising that it brings. Paul and I enjoyed praying blessings and we all share what we appreciate about the birth day kid.

Bekah may have been born eight years ago, but she was conceived in the mind of God since eternity past! He chose June 14, 2002 for her entrance into this world and He knit her together in the months prior. He ordained her family, her siblings, her life. We pray that He has also chosen her as one of His Redeemed.

Happy Birthday, Bek!
