HE WANTS TO BE JUST LIKE YOU

To all daddy's out there with sons and little boys - this is for you:

I Want to Be Just Like You (By Phillips Craig & Dean)

He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug

He calls me Dad and I call him Bub

With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh

He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"

I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight

Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light

And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see

He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me

*chorus:

Lord, I want to be just like You

'Cause he wants to be just like me

I want to be a holy example

For his innocent eyes to see

Help me be a living Bible,

LordThat my little boy can read

I want to be just like You

'Cause he wants to be like me

Got to admit I've got so far to go

Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that You know

Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try

With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right

But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best

Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness

'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees

And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me

*chorus

Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall

But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all

*chorus:
Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For his innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible,
LordThat my little boy can read
I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be like me

*Lord I want to be just like you

cause he wants to be like me

Dads, you are so important in your childrens lives. Very often Mom's are focused on as the most important person - but Dad's, you have the heart of God in you - a Father created by a Father!!! This song moved me to tears today and I thought that this is probably every daddy's heart - to be the best Daddy you can be. I pray that you will feel special today and know that just as we all have a Father in heaven - our fathers on earth are our first glimpses to our Father in heaven. Your little boys want to be just like you, and your little girls want to marry somebody just like you. And if you run hard after God, and love as He loves you and strive to be like Him then you will have little ones with a beautiful example to look to. If you have been uncertain what kind of example to set for your little ones - this song is a very good place to start.

God bless all Daddy's today.

THIS AND THAT

Ok, so I am still feeling broody, and it's really not nice. The last time I felt like this my hubby got me a kitten - but now we are not allowed any pets so...
I know it will pass, but it is horrible while I feel like this. Last night I even cried because of it - poor Happy, I can't explain to him how it feels. Can anybody put Broody into words??
Anyway, enough of that silly business.

Donovan is loving school. But he has started sleep walking. He walks around and talks and comes to me in my room and tells me all sorts of mumbo jumbo stories in his sleep. I am getting very tired because of it cause I wake up every time - he doesn't.

I called his teacher and asked her about it but she says he is fine in class and is coping well. He talks alot, but that's Donovan, but he's doing well. She said that it's possible his brain isn't "switching off" when he goes to bed and so he is dreaming about his work and so on. Cause all his conversations with me in his sleep is about school work and colouring in and stuff.
I don't know how to stop it from happening, it's getting a a bit much now and I am getting more and more tired. Sometimes it happens two or three times a night. And he has even started going into Mark's room.

So what do I do? Any tips anyone? Do I give him something to make him sleep? Do I tie him to his bed? Should I put a bowl of water by his bed so that when he gets up he will stand in it and wake up? What do I do??

help..

I'M BROODY...

I'm broody,

I have dreamt about having a baby TWICE

in two weeks.

I am broody and there is NOTHING I can doo about it.
I am broody, and it's horrible.

WISHING...

I wish I was here......

or here....

But not here.

This is my office - I don't like my office today...


Where would you like to be today?
