Fathers Representing Our Father...


I am thankful for my father and his father and my husband and how he blesses our children.
 They have all been great examples of men striving to live this verse:
But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.  - Joshua 24: 15
They are not perfect but they love the Lord and have
discipled their children to love Him and serve and glorify Him.
 I love this picture of my Dad as a boy and his Daddy.
His name was Hollis.
We called him DaddyHollis.
 How this man loves his boys. 
 I pray that his example of godly living and how he has been seeking God's face their whole life will be an example to them of how to live and serve their families when that time comes for them. 
If of course that is God's path for their lives.
Our fathers can be and are alot like our heavenly Father and point us to Him. 
 As I was thinking about Fathers Day this morning
I thought of this verse and how awesome God is.
I am thankful that there are fathers that draw their
strength from our Abba Father
and share His love with their children.

Isaiah 40: 28-30
 Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
 He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
 Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.

Blessings! Amy

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
