Corn

We have an annual tradition of traveling down to my in-laws with Joe’s brother’s family to “put up corn”.  A family down the road plants a large crop of sweet corn every year and allows us to pick it for nothing!  The only catch is that when corn is ready, you have to put it up then.  So on Sunday it was time.  We all made the trek down to their house to get it done.  I believe it took us 4 hours and we were able to take home 26 quart bags of corn per family.  It was a very successful evening!

“For the Lord grants wisdom!  From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. 

He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.  He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 

He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him.”

Proverbs 2:6-8

 Happy birthday to my husband!

 

As Solomon stated in Proverbs, the Lord blesses those who live with honesty, integrity, and faithfulness.  My husband is a living example of this in my life.  I am thankful for the example that he is to me and our children.  He has chosen to lead our family as God commanded a husband to do .  He is known for his honesty and integrity as well as his heart for Jesus.  His job is a difficult one.  I applaud men who lead their families “with a strong hand” and “stand up” where we can’t as the song Lead Me by Sanctus Real states, this is no easy task.  (Click on the title to enjoy the song!)

I know without a doubt that I am the love of his life, as he has chosen to love me as Christ loved the church, and for that I am forever grateful…I am truly blessed.
