Sunday was a special occasion for my two families.......my personal family and my church family!
It was special to me because my children came home to celebrate our 25th years at our church and our church family came together for an awesome time of remembrance, praise and worship!
I can't begin to thank everyone for the above-and-beyond celebration we experienced! I believe everyone really enjoyed themselves. The music was extraordinary, the testimonies and the video was very moving, the special reading of a poem written by a young man with a God-given gift to write from his heart blessed our socks off and the preaching was heart-felt by a longtime seminary friend. And to top it all off, a young woman joined the church!! You can't ask for much more!
I wanted to show a few pictures of the day. Kelly, of course, has already blogged about it and so has Jamie!
Chris and Carrie
.......................and of course, Miss Coco!
The kids catching up with each other........and eating!
Aunt Carrie with Harper
This is what our family does when the talking dies down......everyone has their iphones, ipads, etc.
Me? I make pictures!
Harper reading her new book to Papa!
In fact, this week-end, Harper was "all about" her Papa! Much to his delight, I might add!
Coco just stayed in the house where it's cool! He and Bobber got along great!
Sunday morning service......I never sit on the front row....but today was special!
We wanted to thank everyone who worked so hard to make it such a special day for us!
We want to thank the Lord for calling us here to serve Him and our special church family He
has blessed us with! To God be the Glory....Great things He has done!

Sunday was a special time and I will always remember it! We love y'all!
These pictures are great! And, that black and white quilt bedding that Chris and Harper are laying on - that was in my bedroom growing up at my parents' house! I had mint green walls and green throw pillows. That was my favorite bedding!
