Happy Father's Day

Seriously, it can be frustrating to try and get "the" picture, but it is worth it to me! I constantly repeat this message to my darling husband and remind him that "he will thank me" one day for doing this! You can bet when that day comes, I will post on that too! I am glad that I have pictures likes this to capture special days and events and to have images to spark memories that I will cherish forever!

Connor and Brody made daddy hardware sorters for him at The Home Depot and were so proud and excited to give him these new treasures. I love to see them just as excited to give as they are to receive!

We started the day at church and enjoyed a great service. There was a group visiting called Freedom Fellowship Motorcycle Ministries. Pastor Ben started with a joke saying that we had visitors but he wasn't sure where they were. This was funny because they all sat together and were very distinctive in the way they looked, complete with pony tails, leather, tatoos and bandanas! They shared some great stuff and the service started with the testimony of a woman named Becca. She was incredibly brave and filled with hope as she shared about her lifestyle just a few months ago that was filled with alcohol, gambling and stripping to earn money. She met some people from this group in that very bar and started searching from there to fill that "God sized" hole in her life. What an awesome ministry following so much of what Jesus taught when He walked the earth in flesh. They go out and just try to shine light in dark places. They meet people where they are and share the hope they have found in their own lives. It was very inspiring and uplifting!

After church, errands, yummy lunch at Pizza Hut (Bryan's request), dessert at Dairy Queen, some rest, some work and some fun thrown in there too! All in all, a great day with many things to be thankful for!

Sounds like a great day, especially the dessert! Always have been sorta fascinated by those motorcycle Jesus guys.
