Have I accepted His gift?

Have I accepted it today?

I was thinking and praying last week on my drive into the office and came up with something. Most likely it means nothing new to anyone else but to me it makes sense and is something that I need to keep in mind. We can hear something hundreds of times and it have no effect on our lives until we figure it out and personalize it.

Well I realized something during my time with Him on my drive in.

Ya know how people always say that you need to accept the Gift of the Spirit into our lives to make our lives complete? That when there is an alter call it is usually someone accepting the Gift of Christ into their lives. This is the one gift of eternal life that is usually given.

Why is it just once that we need to accept a gift from Him? Ya know what else the Lord has for me? He has love for me, strength, wisdom and heaps of blessings for each one of us each day. Why then do I not accept the gift of his love, strength and wisdom each and everyday?

He is there everyday holding out his hands for us to take a hold and guide us thru our day. Each and everyday he is there whether I care or not he is there. He is there to heap blessings upon me. Holding it out there for me to grab and be blessed by his love, strength and wisdom each and every day.

I have started to accept his gifts each and every morning on my way to work before I begin the day. Then at night I can then go thru the things from the day and thank him for his gift he offered and I accepted.

Man what an easy concept, so why has it taken me so long to realize it. This will look different for everyone but give it some thought and look to Him who has blessed us with so much.

I have just edited a video my my little bub and have posted it on our family blog. It is not the best quality due to having to save it in a smaller version (lower quality) to fit it on the blog.

I tried to capture the sights and sounds of his first month of life.

Please do jump over and enjoy.

PS This editing thing is still very new to me so please know that as well.

Howdy y’all!

How are y’all doin? Well I am doing great these days. I am feeling much better since the kiddo has cut his hungry time to just one time during the night which my wife usually feeds the little guy herself. We have used a different nipple for his bottles that have bigger opening so it does not take him as long to feed so she is not up for over an hour anymore as he is fed.

If he wakes after 5am until about 7 then my turn happens before I depart for work. It works out great I must have to add.

Man I have to say that the weather the last week or so has been just perfect! 6o’s at night and 80’s and no humidity during the day. If I could have that year round that would be most ideal for me. This whole summer was actually really nice for Dallas as well. Typically it has about 2 months or more of temps over 100 degrees and zero rain. It rarely got over 100 and it rained a ton for Texas which kept the temps mucho better.

The fall has hit and ya know what that means don’tcha? Christmas. Well at least this year since I have already seen a few different store with a few Christmas things up already. One being Wally World (Wal~Mart by the way) and JC Penney’s this weekend had some stuff up.

That is almost 3 months of Christmas stuff. What does every American want for Christmas? A year and a half of Political positioning to be the next President of the U.S. of A. What happened to just the half year of political wrangling that typically went one. Just think that means the mud will fly more often and harder by the time we come around to actually voting for one of the clowns out there at this time. Ya thought it was bad before, well we have not seen anything like we will see most likely this coming year.

We have already had 17 debates for both sides put together. OK that is an exaggeration, yet only a slight one at that.

Wow this post goes from joy all the way down to the depths of disgust thinking about all that we have to put up with for the next YEAR.

Sorry about that.

Does me saying “have an awesome day” help bring ya back to good things and thoughts?

Why oh why could I not be so genius?

Do you know what is going on in this world today? Let me recap a few things for you. There are people killing other people cuz their god told them to, there are wars happening, people are dying due to addiction to drugs, abortions, abuse, racism, depression, suicide, students killing other students, gang violence and the list goes on.

Did you know that Al Gore won a Peace prize due to his global warming stand? Has that not divided people in certain instances? But I digress cuz I believe I have found the one invention that will bring peace once and for all to the world that we are a part of.

It is an invention that most of us will hit ourselves for not thinking of it ourselves earlier.

Introducing Toilet Golf!



Online description: This is the potty putter. It's a miniature green and rug for in front of the toilet. What amazes me is that the guy in this picture needs to play golf and read a magazine. $18

Maybe you can get a nice package deal with the Fish Bowl Toilet (That I featured in a past fume) and the Toilet Golf mat! Sweet!


Does anyone wonder why the rest of the world looks at American as having to much?

Hard to believe that someone had first of all thought of this product and then produced it for sale.

I can see now the PTGA (Professional Toilet Golf Association) league now taking applications.

Maybe I could be so bright and genius eh?

I've Got’s da bestest wife

Have you ever had one of those days where you try to figure out why you are in such a sour mood? Well yesterday was that day for me.

Let me remind you that we now have a little 5 and ½ week old child that moved in a month or so ago. Yea I know it is a shock to you that I have a child now, so I do apologize if I did not make mention of this small little detail earlier.

I left the office yesterday at 4 pm and made it home by 4:40. Well my wife was in bed trying to take a nap which ultimately she could not fall asleep. Well that was not my experience at all. I fell asleep and my wife woke me up around 6pm, an hour an a half later from when I got home. Yikes, six o’clock! Am I going to sleep now at bed time?

Yeppers, I will and I did sleep just fine. After feeding the boy we went to bed around 9:30. I Fell asleep right away. Was awoken once by a screamin’ kid but that was it for the night.

.

Man did we have a great night with the kiddo? Did he sleep thru the entire night? Well not really, I learned that he was fed twice during the night. Not sure at what times since I was a sleep, very blissfully I might add. Typically my wife wakes me during the earliest feeding to give him his bottle after he nurses for a while with mommy. He does both at this time.

Thank you my Love for allowing me to sleep thru the night.

Man what a difference a nights sleep is on my body. I feel close to 100% better than I did yesterday. That's all it was, a lack of sleep.

THANK YOU THANK YOU

my dear. You are the bestest!

My little guy

If you look over our family blog or my wifes blog you will have seen other pics of our little boy. I have chosen some of my favs from his little photo shoot a few weeks ago.

My Bub in Daddies arms. I am not sure how my wife is doing it but living in a house with two of the best looking guys in the world must be tough.

As you know as you have read in the past I love my little guys facial expressions. He makes some of the cutest faces aroud, how can I not just sit there and stare at his little expressions?

Caden flexin' his little guns for ya.

The outfit that he is sporting is an outfit that my mother saved for him. It is an outfit that I wore when I was baptised as a baby back in the early 70's.

As you can see from most of my post recently have been of and about the little guy. As you look at him how can I not be a proud papa? Ok plus my life now has revolved and changed a bit since his arrival.

Awesome

Good afternoon sport fans.

Can you believe that both Wisconsin Football teams of importance are undefeated at this time?

Wisconsin Badgers 5-0









Green Bay Packers 4-0

Ya know that I hate the Dallas Cowboys do you not? Well I do. But right now they have a quarterback who is Brett Favres Mini-me. I (my wife and kiddo came for a short time as well) went to a sports grille to watch the Packer game yesterday since it was not airing in Dallas due to the Cowgirls game.

The TV I was watching was next to a TV with the cowgirls game on it. Man it was a trip to watch the greatest QB of all time and a QB that is Brett Favre reproduced. Romo is something special to watch especially if you are a Favre fan. They are they same player almost. I know Romo is a Cowboy and I am giving him credit due to his game play.

OK he grew up in Wisconsin watching Brett play every Sunday during the season. Which worries me later this year when the Pack play the Boys here in Dallas on November 29th. Romo would love to beat the guy that he has watched so many times and has game like.

Hope to get tickets for the game.

Today we were at lunch and I touched my sons little belly and one arm would shoot up from his side. So I filmed it and now share it with you. It is a little dark but you can still see my hand touch his tummy and his little arm on the right of the screen shoot up.
