Sunny Saturday: Houston Goodness

We stayed in Houston this weekend and the weather was so beautiful!  

It was a farmer's market kind of morning... :)

After a morning of shopping we came back home for a break and some lunch.

After lunch we stumbled across a yard sale or two and an estate sale. 

It was such a good day!

Thank you Lord for time to relax, beautiful weather, for all your blessings, and for great fun together!

Speak Out

Twitter is a constant encouragement to us. We follow writers, pastors, friends, and organizations. There are many tweets weekly that really inspire us. Here is what is on our mind today.

@robbieseay: "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We have a list of things that we feel that God put on our hearts, some of them being the hungry, the thirsty, the trafficked, and the orphans. We use this blog so that we will not become silent. What are some things that matter to you? How do you speak out?

Sunny Saturday: Austin and Rodeo

This Sunny Saturday was a bit gray but we didn't let that stop us! 

 We woke up early and loaded up the kids and hit the road! 

 Our destination was Austin, Texas!

After a great day and some ice cream we headed back to San Antonio to drop off some really tired kids and headed to the Rodeo!

Great weekend!

Hope your's was just as pleasant!

Imagine Heaven

Twitter is a constant encouragement to us. We follow writers, pastors, friends, and organizations. There are many tweets weekly that really inspire us. Here is what is on our mind today.

@PastorChrisSeay: Heaven is not a place on earth, and never taking the time to imagine it would be a very sad thing.

Chris has been preaching on Heaven for the past few weeks, and what the Bible says we can expect. He has been emphasizing the fact that we are not people of Earth, but should look forward to our final destination.The church collectively created a play list of great songs that also help us think about what Heaven might be like. We put a few on the playlist below.
