Friday Favorites

 

Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika for another Friday favorites.


And here they are in no particular order:
Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch his wings.  He has a re-directed path now and I pray every day that God will use him for His honor and glory.

Let's not talk about my crispy, dying grass and just focus on our sweet Maggie girl!  Trey, Carl, and I traveled a little over two hours away to pick this sweet girl up on Saturday.  She is technically Trey's dog, but I am the one who checks on her every 2-3 hours while he is at work.  She is a miniature Australian Shepherd and is about 12 weeks old.  She is a great addition to our family!


Seeing my sweet Wrenley having fun at "school" is definitely a favorite!  I also love that I get to pick her up and get her a Happy Meal on Thursdays.  She is always so happy to see BeBe!  


This sweet little family is for sure one of my favorites!  So happy they are mine!


I love to see her smile!  Makena has had a rough week of being sick with the stomach virus but is on the mend now.  She is doing so many great things not only at work, but also at church.  I just love her loyalty & dedication.  She will make someone a great wife one day. It makes me smile just knowing that in her season of waiting, she isn't wasting.  She is a busy lady for sure!

After a long *hot* day of work, it is always nice to be able to go to the river and relax. The kids were busy last night, so Carl and I took Makena's Jet Ski out and had some fun! We left the house at 6:15 and didn't come back until 8:30. I'll take that kind of date night anytime!

Hope you all have a great weekend! I plan to relax and enjoy every minute!

Much Love, 
Beth

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 ...
