Church Egg Hunt

Trey was ready for our 1st Church Easter Egg Hunt!
 
Makena, Spencer, and Lydia did a great job of hiding eggs and helping with their age group.

I was a little sad because he was the only one hunting eggs this year.
I really don't have any babies anymore :(
 
Me and my girlies!

Makena and Josie
She just went and sat in her lap and started going to sleep.
Kids are just generally drawn to her.
 
Trey and Kynnlea
Now, Trey and little kids are the complete opposite of Makena and little ones!
He is not very tolerant of them and really just tries to stay away.
 
 
Today was our Church Egg Hunt.  This is the first time we have ever had one at the church as an outreach program.  There were quite a few kids there and they all seemed to have a good time.
Trey had a blast, but like I said before, it was a little sad for me because my big girls are too big and don't even want to hunt eggs anymore!  They had a good time helping though, and last night they went with our church group to the late movie to see "God's Not Dead".  They both said it was really good, and they had fun being with other kids their age.  It was a late night, but I'm glad they went and had a good time.
The craziest thing happened after the girls left Friday night. Carl and I had put Trey in bed and were folding some clothes I took off of the line (we live an exciting life, I'm telling ya!) when I kept hearing a buzzing/vibrating sound.  It was coming from a pile of the girls clothes, but we couldn't find it.  I sent Carl out on the porch with a pair of Carlie's jeans.  We could feel it but couldn't find it.  Then Carl found it....it was a bee in her front jeans pocket!  I guess it must have flown in there while they were drying on the line!  He got it out, but not before doing a crazy dance as it was coming out!  He didn't want to get stung.
I know a lot of people aren't fans of line-dried clothes, but I love them!  I feel like I'm actually doing something when I hang clothes out....crazy, I know....and I'm trying not to use so much electricity :)  Not to be "green", but to help my finances!
It was a great day for an egg hunt!

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...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
