I Just Love Weddings!!

Weddings are happy events! A place to get a first hand view of love, hope for a new life joined together and a promise and commitment in front of God, family and friends. Even as a 'mature' married couple, I always leave a wedding inspired to love more, serve more and be a better wife!

Wedding fervor has hit our family and circle of friends.Our oldest son got married last year along with a few of his closest friends. What a joy it has been watching these boys who grew up together celebrate and take part in each other's weddings. My mama's heart cried tears of joy at each wedding, so happy for the new life they are beginning.

My picture taking fanaticism has dimmed some, boys still are not overly interested or see the importance of cherishing the moment with a photo. BUT....I pulled the mama card out at this last wedding and rounded my bunch out for a few pictures!

Yes, I love weddings and getting some photos to help cherish the joy!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?” This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us. Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God. There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice. We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it. Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God. He is the I AM – no one else is. When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
