When we were still packing up Adoni Acres, we were blessed with the sale of an antique cash register that had just been sitting in storage for years.

Blake’s Dad had bought it for Blake way back when Blake and I were first married.

Right away we knew we wanted to do something with the money from that sale that would honor the memory of Blake’s Dad.

Pop was a musician and singer – and a very good one too!

I had been thinking that music lessons of some sort would be a good thing for the middle boys once we moved.

Then it all came together in my mind – the guitar.

On one of Blake and my Friday date nights after the sale of that cash register, we stopped at Dave’s guitar and bought both of the boys a used guitar!

The next morning, while everyone was sitting down to eat breakfast, Blake and I snuck back to our bedroom, and then came back through the house strumming those guitars!

The boys faces were PRICELESS.

And their smiles made our day!

I started praying that the Lord would help me find a teacher for the boys – specifically one that could come to our home to teach them their lessons.

I thought this would be impossible to find!

Of course the first person we mentioned this need to knew the perfect guy – a guy from church that we know as well!

The boys started lessons this past Monday!

I wish I had gotten a photo of Lane too!

I am loving these guitars being played in our home!

I will be praying that the boys continue to love it too!!
