What I'm Thankful For Day 10 & Our Saturday

Today I am thankful for my sister, Jamie.  Jamie and I used to be super close.  I mean, you don't move around as much as we did when we were younger and not be close!  When we didn't have anyone else, we always had each other.  Over the years, life happened.  We both got married, had kids and lives of our own.  She moved....and move....and moved (seriously I could go on and on) and now we don't get to see each other that much.  I am thankful for all the good times that we've had and I'm also thankful that she gave me two nephews and a niece. I guess while I'm at it, I should say that I'm thankful for Cody too!  Ya'll are awesome and I love you all! 

This morning Carlie got up and went shopping with my mom for her birthday!  Monday is the day, but since it is a school day they did their celebrating today.  They shopped and ate out and Carlie came home the happiest girl in the world!

Today was also opening day of gun season.   I am telling you deer hunting is THE BOMB in this house!  Everybody loves it, except me :)  Carl went to his spot at the farm both this morning and this afternoon and didn't see any deer but he did see some hogs.  These hogs have made the biggest mess you have ever seen and are eating all his deer food, so he shot one. 
Bacon, Ham bone, Pork chop.....I just call him UGLY or STINKY. 
One down in the battle against the hogs!!

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?"....
