Look there is a COW!!!

So the other night Julie, Ellie, Maymie and I went to Smyrna's Click a Fil A for family night!
We had a great time! A man was walking around making things out of balloons. Maymie got a Daffy Duck hat ( I am not sure she knows who he is, but it was cute!) Ellie got a huge crown!! We had lots of fun ~~ Playing on the playground is always an adventure. One kid tried to steal Ellie's crown, one kid wet his pants and did not care, and then kids were yelling~ scared Maymie and we decided that it was time for ice cream! Ellie had a eye out for the cow. She loved telling you were the cow was, but was not to sure about him when he got close. We will have to go back!!!
Thanks Julie for the pictures!!

Finding Your Purpose, Each and Every Day



Thanks Amber this is so true.
I am always thinking -- what is my purpose?

Finding Your Purpose, Each and Every Day.

Jeremiah tells us: "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope." Reflecting and praying about our purpose - whether for today, the week ahead, or the rest of our lives - is the key to discovering God's plan, designed just for us.

By taking just two minutes (preferably before the day gets too crazy) to align your day with your overall goals, your purpose will be better illuminated.

What steps have you taken to discover your true purpose today?

So tonight we did make through VBS with our t shirt!! YEA!!!! I guess the matching bows worked!! Only Maymie.. got to love her! We had a extra rider home from church tonight. Avery rode home with us and played a while.


For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Audrey Hepburn:
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and remembered; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.”
