Bubba playing after the easter egg stuff.

Easter Egg Time

Friday I needed to go to Phoenix for an appointment and so did Jill so she took Faith Anne with her to keep Kiara busy. After our appointments we met up at a park so the kids could play.

Easter Egg Hunt at the Park

Our friends Jill and Kiara invited us for an Easter Egg hunt last weekend at their neighborhood park. The kids had so much fun. Even Tyler started to get the concept. After they found all the eggs, we think, they went and played for a bit on the slide.

Acts of Kindness

I have been quite disappointed in how the girls have been acting so self-centered. I know that it is our nature as humans and children. But I have been trying to teach them how to be more like Jesus and to think of others. To my realization in the past few days they have continued to follow the flesh and be extremely selfish and self centered. So I told them through this week they will be expected to do 3 acts of kindness for someone else in our family and we would discuss them in our evening story time. Today was the first day and Emily couldn't remember one act of kindness she did. Which after the day we had I can see that but Faith Anne couldn't remember either any acts of kindness she did today and I knew of one. When we got home today from visiting friends she brought in my purse, her church bag and my bible in from the car. She had not been asked but she new my arms were full from carrying Tyler and that they shouldn't be in the car

I will have to pay more attention tomorrow and see if I can see them doing more. My hope is that the Lord will help them find joy in looking for ways to surprise people with kindness from their hearts. I know that they have sweet hearts, so my job is to help them follow the sweetness in their hearts and not the flesh that wants what it wants right now.

FireProof

Dave and I were able to finally sit down and watch this great movie this past weekend. We loved it. There were so many learning points that we both agreed we had never thought of. I would recommend this to any couple at whatever point in your relationship you are in. It was great and a great time spent together.
