Happy Love Day!

Carlie got a HUGE bag of Swedish Fish!

Makena got chocolates

Trey got his in bed because he woke up feeling yucky!

Even the dog and cat were loving on each other!!

When Carl got home from work he brought all of us goodies😊

We also had Discovery on Valentine's night. We had pizza, games, and class time. I think that the kids had the most fun playing the Hungry, Hungry Hippo game! Trey didn't play because he just didn't feel like it. He was perfectly fine the next day (after we pumped him with his allergy meds).


The kids in the Helper class made paintings instead of playing games.

Jack. This kid is a mess! He is also hilarious 😊
Definitely keeps me in my toes.

We had a pretty good love day here on the homestead. We really toned it down as far as presents go, this year. I just felt like it was getting a little too much. I got the kids goody bags with candy in them and Carl brought a couple of small things in. One of the greatest parts of the day was when my mom told me what happened when she took some of the teens around to give the widows in the church some goodies. Ya'll..one of them said that she had gone to her mailbox hoping that some one had sent her a card, but there wasn't one.  Needless to say she was thrilled that she got some goodies on this "love " day. That is what life is all about. Showing the love of God to others is a lot more important than the roses, candy, and jewelry. He loved us so much that He sent His Son to die for every single one of us. I know it is no coincidence that every preacher that has preached at our church lately has spoken about showing that same love to others because we may be the only Jesus they see. I believe God is reminding us just how important it is to show kindness and to love and serve others. 

Much Love❤

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
