I guess my absolute favorite times are when all our family is together...we got to spend lots of family time over Easter. Amy and family were here for 3 days...ALL the kids and grandkids were here on Sat. Everyone gathered at our home and we had a "photograper" from Teen Mania come and capture our family picture. Yes, here we all are! I just love having everyone come...we didn't do lots of fancy cooking this time so it was pretty relaxing. The day was beautiful and the kids got to play outside.
Everyone headed home pretty much after lunch on Easter day...kids needed naps, Smiths needed to get back home to Little Elm- but Sam and Lisa stayed and helped us with the "clean Up"- and then for a boat ride and later for some cards. It was a wonderful weekend!
This past week we spent 4 days in Dallas- at our Home based business convention- Mannafest- the annual gathering of Mannatech. This is a nutritional supplement company which has been a blessing for us in our health and income. We were pleasantly suprised-after a year of doing nothing but gathering income checks each month- to have been awarded a Dell laptop computer. Thanks to all our downlline. We want to get busy again and share the message of this great company. You can visit our website at: www.mannapages.com/davidhasz for more information.
On Sat. morning we attended a marriage conference with Amy and Brian that was put on by their church. Dave Harvey taught from his book "When Sinners Say I Do". Great principles from the Bible about showing mercy to our spouse and acting in kindness when they sin against us. I highly recommend the book for all married couples in any stage of marriage. We are at 44 years, 9 months and 8 days and falling more deeply in love each day! All praise and credit to our wonderfully compassionate GOD! You can go to their church website and download the messages. Their church is Grace church- a Sovereign Grace church in Dallas/ Frisco. The messages are on a side bar "Marriage seminar."http://www.gracechurchfrisco.org/
