Praise God From Who All Blessings Flow....

Yesterday started out as just your typical, average, ordinary day.  The girls went to school, Trey and I cleaned house, played, and then he stayed with my Mom while I went to pick the girls up.  Nothing too exciting.  So after running a few errands I picked up Carlie and Makena.  Makena was quiet then all of a sudden she burst into tears and said that she knew she needed to ask Jesus to come into her heart.  This was not a huge surprise to me because  I overheard her and Carlie talking about it a few weeks ago, and I heard Makena tell Carlie that she would do it when she was ready!  I've also been watching her in church.  That being said, I still needed to know for sure that she knew, so I questioned her all the way home and finally she said that if Jesus came back right then, that she would not go to heaven.  That is hard to hear.  She didn't want to talk to our preacher (she's really shy) and not that she needed to, but she talked to our pastor's wife and then prayed all on her own, and that's how our "ordinary day" became a very special day....Makena's spiritual birthday :)  On our way home from my Mom's she said, "Now I'll get to walk on the streets of gold".  Such a precious, tender moment.  My cup overflows.  I'm so thankful that Makena has so many Godly influences in her life.   Carlie told me that they had been doing devotionals on salvation over the past week at school.  Can you imagine that....for those of you who have experienced the conviction of the Holy Spirit and have tried to fight it off (maybe not the best of terms, but you know what I mean), you'll know what I'm talking about....she was being "hit" with it from all sides: home, church, and school.  She just couldn't fight it anymore, and for that, I am  thankful.

"If thou shalt confess with thou mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."  Romans 10:9

That is awesome, Beth! Know that is a HUGE answered prayer for y'all. What a blessing to not only have Christian influences at home and church, but also school.

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...
