Gods Glory and Handiwork On Display

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in on this first Saturday of the month. I am thrilled you stopped by to visit today. 

Here is a friendly reminder that may make your day better. For most of us, our clocks fall back by one hour! Tonight is a wonderful night for those of us who value our sleep. I plan to enjoy every possible second of sleep tonight!

Can you believe the Holiday season is approaching? 2024 is speeding by in a flash. November causes my mind to turn to Thanksgiving. 

I have often said I strive to be thankful on a daily basis. November’s Thanksgiving season is an extra reminder to be thankful for all things. 

Today, I am thankful for the magnificent creation. God created too many amazing things to name them all. 

 

I love looking up at the sky. The beauty of the skies baffles my little human mind. I enjoy seeing the world from 30,000 feet in the air. 

On a recent flight, I was reminded of the awesomeness of our creator God! I was humbled that I get to experience His magnificent creation. I snapped this picture while flying above the clouds. 

The photograph reminded me of a verse of scripture. Psalm 19:1 says it like this. 

“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

I love seeing the Heavens declare His handiwork! Each flight I take I am left in awe of God! It is hard for me to believe people can doubt that God is real. Sights like the one above amaze me. I hope you enjoy the beauty too!

God, thank you for allowing me to experience and explore your world! I am thankful to be a tiny part of it!

Thank you for reading! See you next time.

Boggs Family Memorial Day 2024

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in for my Saturday post. I hope you are doing well. I have had an excellent week. 

Today, I am here with a Boggs Family gathering in pictures. Monday, most of the family was on hand to commemorate Memorial Day. 

It is superb to be with so many family members, some of whom I do not get to spend time with often. I tried my best to savor every moment. I am blessed with a wonderful family! I love each of them very much!

We also celebrated Papaw's birthday with one of his favorite things: a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. 

It was a highlight of the day.

Chloe Jean got the first piece. She loved it! Papaw loved feeding it to her!

Below are pictures that Deidre,  Aunt Theresa and I captured throughout the day. I hope you enjoy Boggs Family Memorial Day 2024.

All seven of the Boggs grandchildren were together for the day, which has not happened since last Memorial Day. I love my cousins dearly! 

Memorial Day 2024 is now in the history books. It was great to make memories with my family! Thanks for joining me today. See you next time!

Happy Mother's Day 2024

Hey Friend,

This Is Odie checking in for my weekly post. I hope you are doing well today! When I was looking ahead and planning out some blog content. The calendar gave me a fantastic topic for today. 

Public Service Announcement

Tomorrow, May 12th, is Mother's Day in the United States of America. Moms deserve special treatment and love, so show the extraordinary ladies in your life some appreciation!

Happy Mother's Day to each lady reading this post! You are special to me. Thank you to many of you for your friendship to me and our family! 

I am so thankful for the many wonderful ladies in my life! God has blessed me abundantly with a Mother, grandmother, aunts and dear friends. I do not take them for granite.

Each of them has taken time from their lives to make sure mine is awesome! They are each counted among my many blessings! May God bless them abundantly for their love, help, friendship and kindness to me!

Happy Mother's Day, Kelly Jo Boggs

My dear Mama is the star that shines the brightest of all! I have often said she's a superhero, and this year is no exception! Mom is devoted, caring, loving and selfless. I have described her as the energizer bunny who never stops. 

From morning to night, Mom is on the go, always helping and doing for those she loves! Dad and I would not be who we are without our hero!

Thank you can not convey my gratitude adequately. I love you feels so hollow when talking about my Mom. I try in little ways daily to show her how much she is appreciated! On Mother's Day, I like to tell her even more. 

She does not like to be in the spotlight. Mom is more content in the background, but I want the world to know my awesome Mom, Kelly Jo Boggs. 

Mama,

Happy Mother's Day! I love you so much! My eyes are leaking on my desk as I type. You are an astounding lady! I am privileged to have you as my Mother! 

God knew just what I needed when He picked you out for me! He gave me a tender Mama, nurse, teacher, guide, counselor and friend all in one person. You are a beautiful package! Thank you for being awesome in each capacity of your job! 

I hope you know you are loved, honored and appreciated today more than ever! May God bless you with rest, strength and everything you need!

I still want to be like you when I grow up.😘😇 I am proud to be your daughter!

Thanks for joining me as I honor my Mama. See you all next week.

Odie's Easter Weekend 2024

Hey Friends,

This is Odie; I am reporting on this fine Saturday. I hope you are doing well. I  am doing great. I have enjoyed my time at home.

I have squeezed in some travel this week. Over the last few days, I have had a wonderful time at the Pentecostal Fire Youth Conference. Next week, I plan to give you a recap of PFYC 2024.

Odie's Easter Weekend 2024

How was your Easter weekend? I had a super great weekend!

On Friday, I went to lunch with my Mamaw and Papaw. We enjoyed spending some time together on a beautiful sunny day!

My Frisch's Big Boy was a really good one!

Saturday afternoon, I spent some time next door at Doods. The kids enjoyed their egg hunt, and I enjoyed seeing family.

Ressurection Sunday: I was in two outstanding services at DRPC! Being home for Easter with my church family is always so good!

The Kids Choir.

The Youth Choir.

The Adult Choir

Our pastor, Bro. Bennie Sutherland preached wonderfully! Conviction was strong in the house. A few people prayed for salvation. The gospel touched many lives, and I think the saints were all saved again! We had a powerful altar service!

Below are some pictures with friends from after the service.
