Saturday at Home

Finally we got to stay home on a weekend!  This is the first in about 3 and on top of all the running around Christmas shopping that we've been doing, I needed the break.  But to start my morning off I had to make a trip into town to go to the clinic :(  Thankfully it was nothing bad, I just needed some medicine for my cold sores.  So when I got back home I had to finish laundry, make the kids clean their rooms, and all that fun stuff!  Carl and Trey went outside and grated the driveway and burned a few leaves.  It was so cold and windy out there, I don't know how they stayed out in it! 
Carl, working hard

Trey is a big helper

Meanwhile, Carlie and Makena were playing Monopoly inside where it was a little warmer.

While the girls went for a make-up piano lesson this afternoon, Trey and I played trains, trucks, cars, tractors, and whatever else he wanted to play :)  It reminded me of last year when he wasn't in school yet, so I said, "Trey, this reminds me of when you didn't go to school.  I miss spending time with you like we used to.  Do you miss me?"  And without skipping a beat he said, "not really." :(  But then he said he did a little!  Carl is still hunting, but not seeing a lot.  He said he saw 8 does this evening but they were running and he couldn't get a shot at them.  Oh, well, he can't have a season, every season like last years.  There is still time though. 
That pretty much wraps up our Saturday spent at home.  I just realized that I hardly ever post anything unless we are doing "something somewhere", and since this is our scrapbook, I wanted to keep it real with our boring stuff too :)

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?"....
