From Bad To Good

Oh, Monday why do you have to live up to your bad name!  No, it really hasn't been a bad day, just a long day.  On the way home from our date night, I realized that my drivers license expired on Sunday :(  I absolutely HATE having my picture taken for my drivers licence.  There has to be some kind of law somewhere that says that those pictures have to be bad because I've never seen a good one.  Well, I didn't see one today either!   And bless her heart, the girl that waited on me at the Revenue office had the personality of a ground rattler....seriously....AND I didn't know that you have to pay 20 bucks to have the darn picture made....grrrrr.  Bad morning, but thankfully the day got better :)

Carl came home to eat lunch with us and after we got finished we decided to walk over to Ms. Lena's Pie Shop to get a piece of pie.

This is why I can't lose weight:
Makena and Trey got blueberry cream cheese pie, me and Carl
got chocolate pie, and of course Carlie got a fried apple pie.  She LOVES
her some apple pie...in any form!

After Carl went back to work we rested, cleaned a little, then we decided to go swimming.   Everyone was in a good mood today, which made EVERYTHING easier on ME!  Love that :)

That smile makes my life so much more easy!

Trey was showing me one of his tricks on the slide.
He is a dare devil!

Makena was cooling off in front of the fountain.

And he started this....THE POSE!

Bulls Eye :)

Where's Trey?!

And, another pose....he was a camera hog today :)

Makena was having a puppet show for me with her water
balloons!

BUSTED!!  Carlie was in the pool with her food...
and from the looks of it, she had a mouth full too!
I'm tellin' Pop!!!

Carlie was being sneaky about something!

Happy Kids = Happy Mama!

When Carl got home from work we grilled some tasty pork chops, had some corn, fresh steamed squash, potatoes and gravy, and mac n cheese....it was delish!
 
What started out as a bad day, turned out to be a good one.  The only thing that would have made it better would have been some rain :)  Tomorrow I get to go clean the church with all the ladies before Revival next week.  It's a tradition (the cleaning), I don't even know how long it's been going on, but I'm happy to be part of it!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
