Dawgy Dash

She loves dogs, I love to walk, so with weekend plans for a visit coming up, my sweet daughter in law asked if I wanted to sign up for the "Dawgy Dash" 5K.  It sounded like fun. Turns out, the whole weekend was fun! Mother's Day weekend with all my children together...doesn't get much better than that!

When the morning of the walk arrived, rain was close by, but we decided to try it anyway! Around 50 dogs and their owners walked through the quaint neighborhoods in a small north Georgia town. 


The town went all out for this walk.  These sweet direction markers in the shape of a doggy bone lined the streets. 


The walk wound through neighborhoods and along the main street of town. Flowers, stone sidewalks, tree lined streets made this a beautiful walk!



We finished!  Our sweet Fargo was a champ!  


Although she's not big on pictures or much attention, my sweet mother in law came along on the trip as well.  She handled the 5K like a pro.  She added an extra special touch to a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! 


Family, such a blessing to be able to take our different styles, likes, desires and throw them all together to find something beautiful!

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...

WFW – Write It On My Heart

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel       after that time, declares the Lord.    I will put My laws in their minds       and write them on their hearts.    I will be their God,       and they will be My people.  Hebrews 8:10 On a recent field trip to a museum featuring the days gone by, we sat in an old schoolroom as the teacher introduced us to the quill pen and bottle of ink.  She cautioned us to use extreme caution using the ink and told us that if it got on our skin or clothes, it would not come off. This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word.  As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes w...
