Weekend Recap

 Well would you look at that: it's Monday already. That means back to school for us and back to work for Carl.  Makena is home from college for one more week and actually had the day off today.  

It was a good weekend for the most part.  On Friday I went to take Wrenley to the doctor with Carlie.  She had a pretty high fever and a little bit of a cough.  She wasn't able to see her regular doctor, but they did some test to rule out RSV, the flu, and Co*!d.  Carlie took off the rest of the day to stay home and keep a close eye on her.  They ended up taking her to Arkansas Children's Hospital after Caleb got off work.  She had a pretty nasty virus and her oxygen was low when they got there but went up after they were there for around 3 hours.  We were thankful that she got to come home late Friday night.  

Poor sick baby. 

Carl made chili Friday night and we had a bonfire.  It was perfect weather for it but I was tired of the wind changing direction and smelling smoke, so I went to the hot tub and enjoyed it alone for a while.  It was just what I needed.  I was worried about Wren the whole time, but I knew they were in the best place and that there was absolutely nothing I could do other than pray.  
Boone was watching Carl talking with his hands :)
Boone enjoys bonfires as much or more than we do!


You can barely see the fire in the background.
We have been having bonfires back there for many years with our kids.

Saturday was a pretty busy day.  Makena's roommate from college was getting married in Hot Springs which is a good 2 hours away.  We left a little early so we could swing by Carlie's and see Wrenley.  It was a beautiful wedding.  I always cry at weddings. I mean, I barely knew Jolie, but I still cried.  I'm getting sappier in my old age!
It was good to just have a few hours alone with Makena.

Sunday is always church day.  We had a wonderful service even though a lot of people were out sick.  My mom fixed mexican food for us at her house after church.  I am so thankful that she does this.  My grandmother (Grammy) always fixed lunch on Sundays when we were younger, and it is something that I still cherish.  I am glad that my kids and grandkids will have that with their grandparents/great-grandparents.

I am so thankful for a great weekend!
Happy Monday... let's do this!

Much Love,
Beth

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!...

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 ...

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...
