Happy Birthday Rachel

I just wanted to say Happy Happy Birthday Rachel. Rachel is the kind of friend that someone can depend on. WHENEVER I need help with my kids, Rachel is always there. Rachel is an example of a biblical wife and mother, always putting her family first and never faultering in the discipline of her children. Rachels home is a fun place for all children. She works very hard at serving the Lord at the Grace Baptist Church. I would have to say I want to be just like Rachel when I grow up. Happy Birthday Hon! I hope your day is as sweet as you are!!!

Heather's Wedding

Today was a very special day. Heather LeeAnn Todd was married. The day was beautiful and the weather as perfect. It is such a blessing to see two young kids just starting out in life. They both are born again Christians and want to serve the Lord with their lives and their marriage. What a blessing to see the purity and beauty in Heather's face. Congratulations Heather I know your parents are very proud of you and so is Uncle Sam and Aunt Kris.

Happy Birthday Cindy

Today is a special day for a very sweet lady in my life. My dear sweet friend Cindy. If Cindy was a friend of yours you would realize as I have, just what a good friend that she really has become. Cindy is the kind of person if you need something and she is able to help you she will. This morning was a perfect example, I needed a driver because I had to have a tooth pulled, even though it was Cindy's birthday that did not stop her from getting up early coming to pick me up and take me to the doctor. Cindy is the perfect example of what a Christian woman should look like. Cindy is always ready to cook a meal for someone that is sick, Cindy has been known to clean houses for people who can not clean for themselves. Cindy is always ready to listen when someone just needs to talk. I have never heard Cindy gossip or backbite. Cindy always finds something good to say about everyone. If you have ever been to Cindy's house you know how beautiful she has it decorated and it is always clean. I don't know anyone that doesn't like to visit Cindy's. Cindy always puts her family first, she has two teenage boys and if that is not enough, one of the boys has special needs. In our house we LOVE Zack and that is because of the way his mom has loved and trained him to live to his fullest. On top of all this Cindy assists her husband in his copier business his garden and his social life. Cindy is a good wife to Bob. I could go on all day about how my life has improved since I met Cindy. (if I don't stop I might get in trouble because Cindy is a very humble lady). HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINDY from the Todd family. WE LOVE YOU.

Happy 4th Of July

I want to take this opportunity to say, Happy 4th of July to everyone. I am very thankful for America and all the freedom that we have because of this great country. Many men have lost their lives for that freedom. We have so many wonderful blessing in our lives. The freedom to do what God has called us to do. The freedom to worship God freely. The freedom to own land and maintain a home, have our own businesses, and the freedom to raise our family the way we choose. We have the freedom to read God's word openly. The freedom to pray openly and the freedom to attend a good Bible believing church. I could go on all day about the many blessing and freedom that we have. Thank You Lord for America and the freedoms that she brings.

Happy Birthday Ashley

Today is a special day. Ashley is 19 years old. Ashley we are so proud of you. My dear friend Ashley as completed her first year of Bible College. She is a great soul winner and on fire for the Lord. Tonight we had T-bone steaks and bake potatoes with all the fix ins. We finished dinner with a wonderful chocolate cake. We had Keith, Ed, Tony, Grandma Edith and our family. After dinner we all headed to church. We have a sweet little tradition at our church. If your birthday falls on a Wednesday or a Sunday everyone in church gives the birthday girl a dollar. We were very thankful that Ashley's birthday was on Wednesday. Now we are going camping. We will be gone until Sunday in God's great nature. This is not anything that I have ever done before. If you think of me say a little prayer. God will go before us. It should very interesting to see how this turns out. Thank You for your prayers. I feel very honored to be asked to do this with my special birthday girl. We love you Ashley Jane. Happy Birthday Honey

Breakfast In Bed

I had the sweetest morning of all time. Daddy has been working so much and I have been a little extra tired these days. I happen to ask my son Quin if he would like to attempt to make coffee. He go so excited and said "Mom can I make you breakfast in bed?" I of course said sure (who wouldn't). This morning my nine year old made coffee, a bagel with cream cheese and a slice of banana bread. Don't forget the strawberries and grapes on the side. I was so touched by his kindness and he was so excited to be doing this for me. Then he said "Mom consider this a late Mother's Day gift. Isn't he sweet. I love you Quinten!!! Thank You.

This is Cute

Today in History we were talking about World War II and Adolph Hitler. The book said "In April 1940, Germany attacked and defeated Norway and Denmark. In May, Germany defeated the three small countries of Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Then Germany invaded France and defeated her." With a very serious look on his face my son said
" Mom did Hitler defeat Peter Pan?" If Hitler came up against Peter Pan who won? "Quin what are you talking about. He thought that the Netherlands was "Never Never Land" It is so cute. I love homeschooling.
