Illustration Friday: Green

Caption reads: “Maybe I should have dyed the Easter eggs a different color.”

As cold as things are in Indiana, I'm wondering if Easter eggs wouldn't show up if we just stuck to white? I wasn't this cold as Christmas time. I've heard of a three dog night. This is a cat-in-the-lap sort of day. Across the country, this will be the first season of Easter egg hunts that will involve mittens, snowmen and hot chocolate.

Enjoy!

Bad Cold

Boy to dad: “I’m glad you’re feeling better. I’d hate to replace you.”

I've been recovering from a nice, holiday cold. My kids have been nice, and sincere about my welfare. I imagined this morning what would happen if they were younger and had a more selfish motive. Good thing you can't just pick up a new dad from the Home Depot.

Bless Dad while Mom is gone

Caption reads: "Bless Mom on her trip. And bless this food even though all Dad knows how to make is cereal."

Is this cartoon dedicated to Mom or Dad? Hey! it's Father's Day! My Dad got us kids through dinner when Mom worked even though his cooking skills were limited.

Mine aren't much better. Thank the Lord for wives and mom along with husbands and dads. We go together!

Prayer Requests

“Remember me in your prayers. When my dad finds out I stratched the car with my bike, I’ll need all the prayers I can get!”
You get all kinds of interesting prayer requests in a Sunday school class. I have a feeling I uttered a similar requests once. Though I don't remember scratching Dad's car, I did plenty of other things. I'm thankful Dad was gracious when I messed up. By the way, Happy birthday, Dad!

Lessons Learned

Caption reads, "Sunday school was great, Dad. James agreed to go out with me when I'm old enough to date!"

I often wonder what my kids are learning when I'm teaching a Sunday school class. Probably more than I want to know. Hopefully they learn an eternal lesson that will change their lives forever-for the better.
