Blessed Sunday

 
 
Acts 14:23  And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
 
What an amazing Sunday.  Doug was appointed as an Elder in our church.  Being an Elder is an honor and a responsibility.  It was beautiful watching the other elders praying over Doug as he knelt before the congregation and God.  The congregation and Doug both recited vows to each other....and then we prayed.  I am so proud of my man.  My Christian husband and Christian father to our girls. 
 
 
 
1 Timothy 4:14  Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you.
 
Doug has made a major commitment to our family, church, and community by accepting this honor.  But this decision does not just affect Doug, it affects me and the girls as his family.  We must also rise to the calling to be the type of family that is worthy of Doug's appointment.  We must think about our walk with God, our witness to others, and our words and actions.  We will all fall short, as will he.  But picking ourselves up, being transparent, and asking forgiveness for our sins is mandatory. 
 
It has been a blessed Sunday for this family, I pray for a blessed week for all of you as well.

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...
