Just an all Around Great Sunday...

What a wonderful day it has been hanging out and enjoying what it's all about!!! The weather has been amazing the last couple of days so needless to say we soak it up as much as we can when we get it. It's crazy when the sun shines for more than two days here it's like everyone has taken happy pills. I definitely don't take the sun for granted now that I am here. I never remembered appreciating it as much as I do now. I love the weather here in the NW, we have all the seasons and even though we get our fair share of rain I love it!!! That's what makes everything so green. I am in awe every time I go somewhere...Stephen and I say to ourselves can you believe we live here? It doesn't get old.

We went to church and as always enjoyed being with our Elevate family. Rocked worship and listened to a great message that Pastor Steve and his wife Rowena shared today on....

5 Responsibilities Parents have in Raising Children;
  • we need to protect and provide 1 Timothy 5:8  "for those who won't care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers." 
  • to model Gods love for/of God Ephesians 5:25 "for husbands, this means love your wives just has Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her."
  • to model Gods leadership 1 Timothy 3:4 "he must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him."
  • to discipline (train) for all areas of life
  • to recognize calling and gifting for all areas
Teaching children to submit (obey) Proverbs 22:6 "train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it"

I could go on and on, but I am really enjoying this series we are doing right now PERFECT God, IMPERFECT Me!!!! We are truly blessed and thankful for God guiding us to this church.

We also did some things around the house, missy washed my car for me and Stephen painted the front door. Here are some pictures of them hard at work. They are so good to me! I love them :)

Wow you guys did have a busy Sunday but it looks as though you enjoyed yourselves a lot. The door looks great and I love the white bucket with the red geraniums. I'm sure you will come up with something to put in a pot like multi-colored gerber daisies and maybe some hanging ferns or buckets of panies, etc. LOVe you baby girl.
