This is Real Love

February 25, 2016 by Heidi Olsen 2 Comments

Real love is everyday. It’s not always the fairytale romantic love we’re all sold when we’re kids. It’s moments watching your handsome, hard-working husband love on your daughter and share his knowledge with her. Watching your beautiful child laugh with the man you made them with.

Last week, Norm and Graci worked on our family A-Team van project. They happily got busy sanding and sanding…and sanding to get it ready for paint. Graci offered to help her Daddy after he told her how much work it was going to be get it ready for paint. They happily went to work on it together.

I enjoyed spending the morning going over school with Graci while running our shop’s office. Graci waited patiently until Norm completed the shop’s tasks for the day. She loved being with Daddy and helping him with his project. This ATeam van is a childhood dream of his. Ever since he watched the tv show as a boy, he wanted to have his own van just like Mr. T when he grew up.

This is heaven on earth if there is such a thing. It’s my prayers in action! I prayed everyday as a little girl for God to give me a family of my very own that would love me no matter what…and I got it.

I look forward to seeing our family finish our ATeam van and what we come up with next! Blessings from our family to you! ❤

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
~ 1 Timothy 6:12

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
~ John 16:33

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
~ Isaiah 40:28-31

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
~ Romans 8:31
