Summer Life

Hello my Morning Coffee friends. I want to apologies for disappearing this Summer and while I am not a Lifestyle blogger, I thought I would share a little of what has kept me from the computer screen this summer.

In July my husband was blessed again this year, to spend a week in Honduras with others from our Church.

After a week of labor filled love and sharing the Good News, he was home, tired and blessed. 

While Brian was away, Kendal and I took advantage of the long weekend and spent some time in GA with my Dad. Kendal loves to fish with PawPaw.

Then, it was time for Vacation Bible school! This is one of my favorite times of the year. I get lots of 5 year old hugs, smiles, and laughter. One little angel in particular took a piece of my heart with him this year. I sure hope he comes back. Just look at those sweet faces!!! 

After VBS, I was blessed to have my family come in and celebrate my Auntie's XXth birthday! She doesn't look a day over 29, does she!

Oh course you must see my son covered in cousins and his younger brother. 

Okay, just a few more of these because we had so much fun. Next you will see my brother, my Dad and Aunt, my sister hugging my aunt and my Uncle P and Cousin in Law, Sammy. 

My oldest son bought his first car. Yes, it is financed in his name! Mom helped....a lot with the negotiations, but in the end, it is his and he is happy. Did I mention it is a year newer than mine! 

I have spent a lot of time in my garden, picking, weeding (endless weeds), and canning. Here are a few pictures. 

 Yes! Pumpkins in July!!

Yes, I am a little crazy over frogs! #summerofthefrogs

Then we celebrated Kendal's Birthday! Happy 10th!

More vacation with the Grandparents! We had a great time in GA and visited many places. Our favorite was Cumberland Island and I recommend it to everyone!

This is the port on Cumberland Island. We are waiting on the Ferry.

The best part of our summer was when Kendal made the decision to get Baptized! Such a wonderful day for this momma and Daddy to know that all of our children will be with us in Glory! Praise God!

So my friends, this is why I have not been in front of my computer all summer. I have been out enjoying life with my kids, church, and family. I pray your summer was as full of love as mine was. 

Of course I got some knitting done as well and I leave you with this. In a world that seems upside down with hate, remember the Creator knit us together in love. 

Colossians 2:2Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

² I want their hearts to be encouraged and knit together in love, so that they may have all the riches of assured understanding and have the knowledge of God’s mystery—Christ.
