Weekend Recap

 Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. We were busy here on the homestead. Carlie and Caleb are finally in their new house! We are proud of them and for them. It's a beautiful house, and Wrenley and Macy (the dog) have a fenced-in backyard to play in now. I was busy watching Wrenley while they were moving with the help of Caleb's parents, my parents, and Trey. 

My little passenger princess wanted to stop at the gas station and get a bug juice :)

I love her little imagination.
She loves to dress up her baby doll and take it for a ride in the Cozy Coup.

On to other good news: Rice Harvest 2025 is DONE! Praise the Lord, they wrapped up on Saturday afternoon!

Rice Harvest complete✅
On to bean harvest now!

Carl and I managed to make a quick trip to the river to check on the houseboat. 
We made it down to the boat and realized that we left the key in the truck. I guess that is better than last time when we left the key at the house! One day we will have it all together :)
When we drove into our drive way we saw the most beautiful sunset

Sunday is the best day of the week. We get to worship with our church family and usually my whole family is with me. We eat lunch at Nanny and Pop's house and then Carlie and Caleb go home and we head to our house to rest and relax before going back to church at 5. 

The look she gives me when she disapproves of what I tell her!

It didn't take long for that frown to turn upside down :)

It was a great weekend. I am thankful for all of the blessings we have been given. I pray that my family never forgets the goodness of God.

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...

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 ...
