Valentine’s Day 2025 Recap

 Hey Friends,

Welcome to another Saturday post with me, Odie! Thank you for dropping in. 

First, I want to thank all of you who reached out to Mom and me yesterday on Valentine's Day. We appreciate your extra thoughtfulness and care for us! The calls, texts, surprise gifts and cards were so sweet and special! We definitely felt loved!

We were blessed with a wonderful day! I can say, for a fact, God's strength was with us every moment! We spent some time with my Mamaw and Papaw. 

Thankfully, we were able to mark something big off of our to-do list that has been there for three months. We will tell you more about it in the future. 

Then Papaw treated us to a great Valentine’s Day lunch at a family, favorite,Skyline.  below our pictures of mine and my Mom's meals.

Mamaw shared a pumpkin pie with us. Pumpkin is my favorite kind of pie and hers are the best! Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of the pie! Believe me, it was delicious!

We finished out the day with church. It was Youth Rally night at DRPC.  It was so good to see many people from our area fellowship join us for the service. 

Also, Friday was the last night of our services with, Bro. Josh Smith. Bro. Josh, preached excellent all week! It was wonderful to see him and his family again. We love The Smith Family!

 

The revival was really good! All four nights the altar services were wonderful! Last night was the icing on the cake! The Holy Ghost moved in a mighty way! It was a great blessing to feel the Spirit of God, so close to us! 

Let's just say, I went to bed last night feasting on Friday’s service! My heart is overflowing with joy and praise for our mighty God! What a blessing to be His child! God’s love for us is amazing, and never ceases to leave me in wonder!

Thanks for reading! I look forward to seeing you next time.

Happy Birthday Daddy 2025

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for dropping by for a visit! We have been in reflection mode this week. A couple of big days are here this week, back to back. 

January 15th, last year, Daddy came home from the hospital after the stroke. Click here to visit yesterday’s post

January 16th is my Dad’s birthday! Dad did not like a lot of attention on his birthday. He always wanted to make a big deal about mine or Mom’s, but not his! A blog post is just about all I could get by doing for him.

He does not get a choice this year! We are spending today honoring the great man I got to call Daddy!

Mom and I sat down and reflected on Dad’s last days on earth. He taught us to love God and His greatness always! Dad’s love for his Great God was evident until the end. 

Also, we included Dad singing If You Could See Me Now. This video was recorded as part of a church service at my house in April of 2020. We also played it at Dad’s celebration of life. Some people have requested to hear the song again. I figured his birthday was a great day to share it again.

I will close with a note for my Daddy. See you tomorrow. 

Happy birthday, Daddy! I love you, “More than a hog loves slop”! You will forever be my superhero! 

This is the first time in my lifetime that I could not celebrate your birthday with you in person. Over the years we have celebrated your birthday in a myriad of states and ways! You may not physically be here, but we are still marking this extra special date on the calendar. 

In a while we will enjoy a delicious dinner with several family members in your honor! I know there will be tears, laughter and lots of memories! I so wish you could be here with us! You are always dearly missed!

 Love Your Baby Girl, Odie!

A Very Boggs Christmas 2024

Hey Friends,

2025

Welcome to 2025! Happy New Year. May God bless you greatly this year! 

We are walking and rolling, although I am walking on the inside 😊, in uncharted territory. Thanks for sticking with us as we figure out life!

Mom and I really appreciate the positive feedback on our Christmas YouTube video. Subscribe to the Boggs Family Ministries channel. Turn on your post notifications. We hope to post more videos in the future, and hopefully, YouTube will notify you when we post. 

Please pray for us. We desire wisdom, guidance and strength from the Lord. He is our daily help, and we depend on Him!

A Very Boggs Christmas 2024

Last Wednesday afternoon, we gathered at the fellowship hall next door to my house. There we had A Very Boggs Christmas 2024.

It was wonderful spending time with family. We laughed, cried, ate, and played music and games. 

Most of all, we cherished family time. These days, we hug our family tighter and more frequently. I am taking every opportunity to tell my family I love them! I refuse to take my family for granted! We are blessed to have a fantastic family surrounding us!

Gran and Papaw Morgan and Jacqueline Coffman joined us for the festivities. We love it when they grace us with their presence at a Boggs family function!

Breakfast was on the  Christmas dinner menu. Everybody contributed, and there were too many yummy dishes to name them. The meal was remarkable! 

Below are my pictures from Christmas Day 2024. I also included some more taken by different family members. I hope you enjoy them. 

See you next time.
