A Sponge

Have you ever soaked up liquid with a sponge? You can just sit it in the liquid and the next thing you know, all the liquid is contained in that sponge. It doesn’t seem to ever fill up.

That is us friends. We soak up what is around us. If we are around negative people all the time….we kind of get to be that way. If we are around positive people on a daily basis, we seem to change our attitude as well.

Soaking up His word and encouragement is life changing. Continue reading An Ordinary Sponge →

Happy Birthday to my Sons’ Father…and The Love of my Life!

My hubby of almost 35 years is 55 years of age today!   If you do the math…. you will see that we were mere babes when we married!

But I write a blog entitled “Teacher Mom Always” and Dad needs to be somewhere in that title. And this blog, “Encouragement for His Daughters” came to me because I have had a husband who has encouraged my walk with Christ.

My two adult sons have had the most wonderful man as a father. The role model he has been for them has been incredible. How do I know?

I watch them with their wives. They treat their wives with the utmost tenderness…as my husband did and does me. And they tease their wives incessantly, as my husband did and still does…. But most importantly, they understand the love of their heavenly Father.

No matter how tired he was when he came in from work, some nights not until 8:30pm…he spent time with the boys in some capacity. Either a whiffle ball game, card game, biking…you name it.

So Happy Birthday to the most incredible Dad I know.

And Happy Birthday to my best friend and the love of my life. The man who cooks, cleans and does laundry because I work outside of the home part time. The man who values my happiness above his own.

Thank you for allowing the boys to see a wonderful role model. And thank you for allowing them to understand the unconditional love of their heavenly Father. And thank you for loving me without condition.

Because of you dearest husband, they get it…in many ways. We all do.

My hubby of almost 35 years will be 55 years of age on December 4. If you do the math (avoiding Common Core) you will see that we were mere babes when we married!

But I write this blog entitled “Teacher Mom Always” and Dad needs to be somewhere in that title.

You see, my two adult sons have had the most wonderful man as a father. The role model he has been for them has been incredible. How do I know?

I watch them with their wives. They treat their wives with the utmost tenderness…as my husband did and does me. Oh yes, and they tease them incessantly..as my husband did and still does!!  And they understand the love of their heavenly Father.

Children need this in their lives. And ours were blessed with the best.

No matter how tired he was when he came in from work, some nights not until 8:30pm…he spent time with the boys in some capacity. Either a whiffle ball game, card game, biking…you name it.

So Happy Birthday to the most incredible Dad I know.

Thank you for allowing the boys to see a wonderful role model. And thank you for allowing them to understand the unconditional love of their heavenly Father.

Because of you dearest husband, they get it…in many ways.
