Weekend Recap

 This was a pretty laid-back weekend. Carl and Makena both worked, and Trey worked half a day on Saturday mowing, so it was just me and the dogs.

Maggie always looks happy, and Boone always looks grumpy :)

Carl could get to work in the fields earlier this week; this was his first Saturday to work this year. We both know there are many more to come. 
I get lots of pictures that look similar to this during the day :)

I have recently discovered that I really enjoy thrifting. There is a little thrift mall in a town close by and I found this beauty:
I have been looking for one of these for a while.
Perfect for my jellybeans!

Earlier in the week (St. Patrick's Day) Carlie sent me of my sweet Wrenley:
How cute is this little turkey?!

And it doesn't matter where I go in my car, or in my life, I'm always riding with a little Jesus!


The weather has been very spring-like. There are some downsides to the nice weather: GNATS and POLLEN!
They have both been pretty bad. Bad enough to keep you inside!!
Arkansas has also been dealing with numerous wildfires. Carl and Trey are both on the volunteer fire department in our community and they have been called out 3 or 4 days over the past 7 days. 
We are praying that the burn bans across the state stop some of the fires they are dealing with. 

Carl does surprise me sometimes :)

I didn't get any pictures from Sunday, but we were blessed to have all (all 8 of us with Alana) attended church. Sundays are a favorite of mine. I love going to church and worshipping with God's people. God has been so good to me and my family. I pray that we never forget all that He has done for us.

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?"....
