Gray Sweater // Backyard Beauty

Hi y'all! This Saturday we met with our Dad's side of the family for our Christmas celebration.It was wonderful to see everyone!We have not met altogether for some time since most of our cousins are older and have moved away, but this year one of them moved back to Michigan and she hosted our long awaited get-together! Some of our traditions include playing Bingo for prizes instead of giving gifts to each-other and decorating an angel food cake while singing 'Happy Birthday' to Jesus. The little ones get to blow out the candles and then we all join in singing 'Silent Night'. It is so wonderful being surrounded by your family.     

Sunday, just crazy, our church services were cancelled because of an ice storm that came through Saturday night! The roads were terrible and every branch in our little woods was covered in ice!
These pics of my outfit were taken a few days prier so they do not show the effect, but Rebekah captured the beauty of it Sunday afternoon, which we have a few of them to share with you.

 Who knows when I will get back into my summary posts on Mondays ?! Such craziness!
Hopefully, God willing, this new year! :)

.::Hidden Beauty::.

Hey all! We usually don't post on Sundays, but I like to keep up on our schedule and since yesterday's post was somehow forgotten- here I am! :)

As we are stuck in a not so pretty season of forlorn yet-to-be-raked yards, stumpy looking trees and browning grass, waiting to be renewed by winter's snow, lets look for the lasting beauty that we know is all around us! Right now we just might have to look a little closer for it, which makes it all the more enjoyable when we do.

Rebekah and I walked the grounds of the farm that we occasionally work at yesterday and found just that!
                      We had a great time running through rows of blueberry bushes and snapping pictures!

There are so many things waiting to burst with color and flavor if we will just look for it! This is not only true in what we can see in God's beauty that He shows us through nature, but also in people's lives.
We can show God's love by caring for them- taking the time to listen and giving them multiple chances to prove their true worth! There are so many who could do so much for the Kingdom if only they were not looked down upon! Take time for people, tell them how much God cares for them, that they are worth so much more than they are told. We have no idea how far that can take a person! Invest in the hidden beauty! And remember that hidden does not mean nonexistent, it means lost or unseen- it needs to be brought out- to be recognized!
