The End of October

And just like that, October is over! As we say goodbye to October, I love looking back on the little moments that made the month memorable. This month was full of cozy weekends, family fun, and pumpkin-flavored everything! 

Our little princess had the most magical time trick-or-treating on Halloween! Carlie brought her out early and we hung out here until the sun went down. She loved showing everyone how her dress lit up with the push of a button. It was precious.

I love keeping the vibe festive around here!

You may ask, "Beth, why a picture of a stack of pizzas?", and the answer is, because our Gospel Project kids raised close to $300 for the month of October for our missionary in the Philippines! They always seem to rise to the challenge put before them. Our missionary, Bro. Joshua buys rice and treats for his parishioners in need.  Our kiddos earned a pizza party out of it. It was a win-win!

I was lazy and went through the drive-thru, so I ended up with a tower of pizzas!

My dad went on his annual fishing trip to the coast of Louisiana with the salesmen in his company. You can see how proud he was of this fish he wrangled! I had no idea what kind of fish it was (if it isn't a freshwater fish, I don't know it!), but he told me it is a bullhead redfish. 


Sweet Boone is always looking to go outside! He does go out, but it is never long enough for him!


We had a bit of a cold front come through the state in the middle of the week, and it was actually cool enough for us to have a fire! 

Cozy Vibes!

Now, as we step into November, I'm ready for slower mornings, cozy dinners, and the start of all things thankful.

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!...

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 ...

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...
