Wonderful Weekend...

Shocking item for today: There are no birds in this post! :)
Goodness, time gets away from me lately.  Here I am blogging about last weekend and it is nearly the middle of THIS week.

We were thrilled to spend time with people we love on both sides of our family last weekend.
My sweet husband and his sister Rebecca in the photo below. Don't you love the red hair? We had fun going to an old theater in downtown Garland and hearing our nephew Brazos play with his percussion band. So very cool.
They wore white, spooky masks and man can these guys keep the beat. It was incredible! I guess maybe you can be more uninhibited when your face is hidden. They did a great job.

We were then blessed to sit with some fun friends and hear Colt speak in Dallas for a Dallas Christian School Fundraising dinner.  My folks came and the fellowship was sweet. We celebrated Mom and Dad's Birthdays.

We went to church together and then to Babe's to eat. Yum. If you have not been to a Babe's I highly recommend it. Just make sure you have loose fitting clothing on. It is that good.

  As we get older the times we are blessed to be together with any of our family become precious.
Love these two...
Gorgeous Texas day spent with people close to my heart. Thank you Father.

The Word seemed extra rich this morning.
Here are some verses to ponder if you want to. They are on my mind.

Lev. 19:2- Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.

20: 7- consecrate yourselves and be holy,
because I am the Lord your God. 
Keep my decrees and follow them. 
I am the Lord who makes you holy.

Ps. 44:8-
In God we make our boast all day long,
and we will praise Your name forever!

Blessings on your day! Amy

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I...
