Happy Father's day! You are the most remarkable Dad in all the world. You have given Sheldon a special gift and that is your love, and you defintely lead by example!

Friday evening when I walked through the door and saw two Dr. Peppers sitting on the coffee table and two guys just reading their books, I was once again reminded of just what a fantastic Dad you are. Sheldon's life will always be enriched because of you. The fun, silly side of you comes out when you wrestle and play, but you are always there to give him great words of advice. You are one exemplary Dad, and we love you!!!

Just Chillin At The Beach

Our plans for the day: a trip to the beach. We thought the beach trip may have to be cancelled due to the cloudy skies. So, we thought a cup of coffee would suffice, and we would just hang around the house. On our way to Starbucks, the sun was shining bright, and we made a quick u-turn for home, packed a beach bag, and headed to the beach. The waves were quite strong and even knocked us down a time or two, but the water was sooooo refreshing, and we had a great family day!

A Time For Giving

When my wonderful in-laws came to visit us last year, they both commented on our busy lifestyle. But no matter how busy the schedule, we must take time for people. "You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others - something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it." (Albert Schweitzer) What are you willing to do? Can you spare a few moments just to listen to a mom talk about what is going on in her life? Are you willing to forego the housework so you can spend some quality time with your family? Setting aside time for someone is imperative. It is a timeless blessing to invest in someone other than yourself. As the saying goes, "Just do it!"

Here is what Apostle Paul had to say on investing in others, "I've never, as you so well know, had any taste for wealth or fashion. With these bare hands I took care of my own basic needs and those who worked with me. In everything I've done, I have demonstrated to you how necessary it is to work on behalf of the weak and not exploit them. You'll not likely go wrong here if you keep remembering that our Master said, 'You're far happier giving than getting.'" (Acts 20:35-36, The Message Bible.)
