Happy Easter Sunday!

Along with her tickets to the concert, Carlie got a new case for her phone in her Easter bag...no baskets this year.  The Easter Bunny was too tired to mess with all of that!

Trey got some sidewalk chalk and the move "The Nut Job"
in his bag.  He absolutely loved the movie.  It was cute.
The picture I got of Makena was really blurry, but she got a new necklace and earring set to wear with her Easter dress, sidewalk chalk (my kids love it), and a swimsuit cover up.
 
I do love him so much!

This picture was so forced, it's not even funny!

On our way home from church.  Everybody was ready to go eat at Grammy and Papa's house.
 
Trey was looking for eggs at Grammy's.
Someone always puts money in the eggs there and that is the only reason he wanted to hunt with a bunch of girls!
 
Trey and Maxee were racing to find that money egg!
 
Hadlee Michelle finding all of the eggs she could.
I think she dropped over half of them on the ground every time she ran to get another one!
 
He hated that Maxee got the $5 egg and he only got $3!
Money is money, T!
 
In all of the busyness of this weekend, I know that my kids know the true meaning of Easter.  It's not having a day off (Good Friday) from school, it's not about the bunny and candy, and no, it's not even about money eggs. It's about our Savior being crucified on the cross and not staying there in the tomb, but raising from the dead so that we may have everlasting life with him in Heaven one day.  Our God is not dead, He IS Risen!

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 ...
