A Miracle on Mainstreet

 This year our church Christmas Program was titled "A Miracle on Mainstreet".  This is the first year that I haven't had one of my own children in the program.  Trey was dead-set against participating this year, and some things aren't worth the fight.  He did help me and Carl with the set building. Makena is the main tech girl.  She handled all of it! I was extremely worried about her having too much stuff on her plate (right in the middle of finals) but she did great and wasn't too stressed out!  

Makena and our other student helper, Anna Grace.

Grammy and Trey
Bless her heart, I can just tell by looking at her that she has dementia.
It breaks my heart because she is slowly just fading out.  
I am thankful that she has gotten to spend as much time with Wrenley as she has.

And a little angel

Speaking of angels, Wrenley was supposed to be an angel.  First, she refused to wear her wings, then she refused to even get close to the manger! She protested when Carlie tried to take her.  I'm going to blame it on her being half sick.  
She watched from afar :)

Carlie had to pull all kinds of tricks out of her hat to get Wren to stop crying.
This one worked!

She finally sat in the floor and watched the other kids.
She really is a little ham!

Makena getting her appreciation flowers.
This girl spent countless hours working on this program.
She came home every weekend for the month leading up to the program.
She deserved the flowers!

If you get a chance, go to YouTube and look up "A Miracle on Mainstreet".  It is a cute program with a terrific meaning.  Jesus should be put first in our lives every day, but especially at Christmas time.  

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!...

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?"....
