Can We Build It? Yes We Can!

I have an amazing husband who is a very involved father. He has made it a priority.  Today, Kevin and Titus built a free 'Build and Grow' project together.  I love these bi-weekly father-son times, they get to do a fun project together.  They're given the tools, materials, an apron, and receive a patch for their accomplishments.

Great is Thy Faithfulness

I've been singing and meditating on the old hymn Great is Thy Faithfulness for awhile.  It seems as though the theme for the last several years of our lives has been-WAIT.

a peace that endureth

Waiting for a child to hold in our arms.  Waiting for a new job.  Waiting for a new home.  Waiting for another child.  Waiting.  Waiting.  Waiting. 

strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow

I love when God reveals a piece of the puzzle.  When we finally see the hand of God move.  When He moves the mountains.  When we behold His plan.  When He perfectly provides beyond our desperate prayers and dreams.

 blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside

  

We've been faithful.  We've been frustrated. We've been hesitant.  We've prayed.  We've trusted.  We've sought.  

morning by morning new mercies I see

Last week we sat in awe of His faithfulness and provision.  We praised Him.  We thanked Him.  He once again perfectly provided in His timing.   We celebrated and reveled in His goodness with ice cream.

Daddy's Shoes

I love to wear my daddy's shoes though my feet are small
When they're in my daddy's shoes, I feel so very tall
Someday I'll grow to fill them, I only hope to be
As fine a man and great a dad, as my daddy is to me.

Daddy's Boy

Titus LOVES his daddy!  It doesn't matter what kind of mood Titus is in or what he is in the middle of doing, when Daddy comes home the world stops.  Titus gets the biggest smile on his face, waves and crawls to the front door as fast as he can to meet and greet his daddy. 

Titus always waves to show he is finished with something or to show his excitement.   So, night after night, Titus races to his daddy, waves to show he is all done with me and excited that his daddy is home again.

 

Titus then hugs and loves on his daddy like he hasn't seen him in days.  It's so sweet to watch this scene unfold again and again.  And trust me, Daddy eats it up!  :)
