November??

It is hard to believe these last few days have actually been in November! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were so nice that we made the most of the nice weather!! How often can you send the kids to school in short sleeves? On Tuesday we went to Hagar Park after Cody got home from school. We met Nikki and Kristin there and the kids were able to play for an hour in the beautiful sunshine! When we pulled up to the park there were quite a few cars there. Cody's first thought when he saw how many cars were there was, "Look how many new friends I can make!" I love that he has that attitude! What a great way to look at that! Wednesday we had a friend from school come play. Cody had a great time with that! Thursday we got Megan out of school during lunch time and went to a park to eat and play. It was so much fun having her home in the middle of the day! Cody and Megan had a blast playing with each other. I have some pictures of Megan holding Cody's hand while he is on the balance beam! It's one of my favorites! I'll have to print it out and keep it somewhere so when they're fighting, I can remind them that they do get along!!

The 30 day challenge is still going on. I am on day 14 and it's a great one for Scott. Scott is definitely a man of integrity. Some construction workers aren't always the most honest and clean people yet Scott is able to show others a good example. I love that he is able to show them the good example that he can be and never change his ways! What a great example for our kids as well!
Following is today's post: Day Fourteen:
"The righteous man walks in his integrity . . ." Prov. 20:7a

Every week there are news reports about men who gave in to temptations and compromised what they said they believed. We hear countless reports about dishonest business dealings, hidden infidelity, and hypocritical leaders. It's so easy to focus on these things and ignore those who are being honest, faithful and genuine. As you continue in the "30-Day Encouragement Challenge," determine to look for ways that your husband stands against the culture.

Is your spouse a man of integrity? Is he fair in his dealings with people? Does he understand the meaning of justice? Is he honest in business? Unhypocritical in his faith? Consider all the ways a man can live in integrity, and praise your husband for one of them. As you have the opportunity—as it is appropriate—share examples of your husband's honesty and integrity with others.
