Happy 75th Birthday Papaw, and Merry Christmas to All!

Tonight was our Garrett family Christmas in DeWitt, but it was a special Christmas because today was also my Papaw's 75th birthday!  We all kind of played it off like we were only celebrating Christmas and then surprised him with a money tree and cake and ice cream! 
I forgot my camera, so I only took pictures with my phone(I really hate it when I do that!) and they are not the best quality.
Carlie found sweet baby Greyson first thing!

Makena, Eli, and Ellie Kate were having fun playing Cootie
Carlie with her fuzzy ball
And Makena got one, too!  This happens so often that they are mostly okay with it.  At least they're different colors :)
Trey with his new lunchbox....we'll see if he uses it for that or a storage container for his many, many, toy cars!  You never know about T
Carlie with her new lunchbox.  It has her name on it too.
She was a very happy girl.  Someone got her some fake fingernails (didn't ask my opinion) and some other fingernail stuff!  She also got to play Dirty Santa (yes, we all know I detest that game) and yes, she did get a lunchbox, IDENTICAL to Carlie's (only it has her name on it, of course) and NEITHER of them complained!  It's a mini-Christmas miracle!!
 
 
This was our first family Christmas party to attend, but of course there will be more, so stay tuned for MANY more pictures!  Hey, maybe I'll even remember my REAL camera next time :)
 

Happy 75th Birthday, Papaw & Merry Christmas To All!

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?"....
