Words to live by...

From the fullness of His grace we have received one blessing after
another

Remember who you are and you will walk through life blessed and beautiful

When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things

Children are a gift from God

Never underestimate the power of prayer

Smells like someone's having a campfire


This is the result of Tim grilling dinner last night..........the food was excellent, the deck was quite "overdone" to say the least! About mid-dinner, Tim realized that he hadn't shut off the grill (which is quite frequent as we let the remains burn off the grate). So, he proceeded outside and noticed a small grease fire - no big deal - he threw on a glass of water and mentioned to us all that it, "smells like someone's having a campfire." We absolutely love that smell around here, especially since it's going to be getting too cold for those this season. This afternoon, Tim discovered that, in reality, we were the ones hosting the campfire with expensive wood, mind you! Being that I love capturing the moment, I just had to post the end result of our deck - nice............who knows how much of the deck would have burned if he hadn't noticed the small grill fire...............I'm so thankful, however, that this did NOT start a much larger fire.........our house could have been toast if he hadn't tossed some water on that minor grease fire.

Yikes!!!  That's scary!  It's a good thing he remembered that he didn't shut off the grill before that was worse.

OH MY GOSH! Wow, what a post! I found myself laughing and being thankful at the same time. Thank the good Lord it only burnt that small portion of the deck. I'm sure everyone had a good chuckle with this! Your boys are adorable.
