Weekend Recap

It was just a typical winter weekend here on the homestead.  We didn't have a lot going on. On Friday night we had tickets to a chili and gumbo supper. We just did take-out. Trey had tickets to a fish fry, so he brought that home. We had a smorgasbord of food that night!

Makena gave a presentation and speech for the Grand Prairie Historical Society. It was a presentation she gave to the museum guests in November. There were around 50 people in attendance, so that is one of the biggest crowds that she has presented to (except for when she was in college).

On Saturday Carl and I had to go into town to get a part for Trey's hot water heater. We are trying everything before we finally give in and buy a new one (and it's looking more like that is the direction we are headed). We also ran into Wal-Mart, but not for long! I remember why I don't grocery shop on Saturdays! 


Trey only comes around when it's time to eat!
On this occasion, he had piece of cherry pie and a glass (jar) of chocolate milk!

Maggie Mae with her paci toy :)

Sundays are church days! 
I took her to the nursery during church. She had pulled her little ponytail out of her hair, so she looked a little unkept, ha!
She would rather play in the crate than with the toys!

And every Sunday after church we eat lunch at my parents' house. Wrenley loves her playhouse at their house. She talked Trey and Maggie into playing with her :) Anything for Wrenley!!
Just look at that smile :)

It was a nice, relaxing weekend. We made it through the first (and hopefully the last) TikTok ban! That was a long 12 hours! Thanks to President Trump for lifting the ban :)

Hope you all had a great weekend!

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?"....
