First Fishing Trip

Braden went on his first fishing trip with his Daddy and Paw-Paw and all we have is a lousy, cell phone photo to document this event! Why you say? For one, Mommy was still nestled in when they left! For two, these things just are not important to men! I would have risked bringing my expensive camera for this but not a man! Women, you see, have different priorities in life:)

It was a bittersweet moment for me as I so longed for my dad to be able to do these things with my boys. My Dad was quite the fishermen. It was his way of relaxing from a stressful day at work. It was his way of spending time with his children. He loved more than anything to bring us fishing on False River. I can already tell that he has is Paw Lee's Heart for fishing and he is quite the little fisherman himself:)

Sometimes, I sit back and think of how my Dad was never given a fair chance at life. I have gotten angry but have come back to realization that this was the Lord's plan for him and his life, as it was never his life anyway, only the Lords. He knows every piece of hair on our head before we are born. He knew my dad would be a sick man. Thank you Lord for the time you have allowed us to share life with him. I continue to pray for healing over his entire body. I am thankful that his Paw-Paw Kyle and his Daddy are here to take him on his first fishing trip though:)

So sweet. You have a wonderful outlook, although I understand it's hard.

No worries about the blessing rings. ; )

What I do is punch holes in the cards first and hang them on the ring. Then I cut different ribbons at different lengths and tie them in between every 10 or so cards. So, yes, the ribbons are just there to make it pretty.

Let me know if you have any more questions!
