Special Guests, Weddings, Family

Last week was one of those weeks that was crazy busy!  But it was a lot of fun.  

On Wednesday night, we were honored to have Mark & Diane Green with us in service.  Bro. Green came to introduce Junior Bible Quizzing to Life Tabernacle.  We are excited to get this ministry going and know that our kids are going to benefit tremendously from participating in this program.  Of course, Sis. Green came in support of her husband, but her brother also attends our church - James Cain.  We had a great time with them on Wednesday night then again on Thursday before they left town.


Friday brought us to the day of rehearsal for Zachary and Amber's wedding!!  These are two of our "kids" who have grown into beautiful adults.  The wedding was wonderful!  There was such a peaceful and happy atmosphere.  I really don't know how to describe it other than to say God was there.  We are so proud of them and can't wait to see what God is going to do in their life together.


Sunday morning we had special visitors who had stayed over from the wedding - Wendell & Linda, The Prince family & Ashley, Jeannie & Jeff.  It's always good to have church family come home.  We had awesome church!!  
Today I got to play "grandma".  LOL!!  Not exactly... here's the story... I received a phone call this morning from Mandy (my niece) asking if I could come to lunch at Alayna's school today (Alayna is my great-niece).  Today they were having a grandparents luncheon and since none of Alayna's grandparents live here she said, "Do you think Aunt Karla could come?!"  WELL.... what do you all think?!  LOL!  She was thrilled to see me there, and I was just as thrilled to be there.
 

We've kicked off another busy week.  Tonight Gene is at the church for the Junior Bible Quizzing parent meeting.  Tomorrow night is Ladies of Life "Happy Birthday to Me".  Wednesday night is church.  Thursday I will be heading to Arlington for the Minister's Wives Retreat and will return on Saturday.  Then it will be Sunday again and we will start it all over again.  

I hope you all have a great week!

Thanks for sharing your week! Isn't being a Pastor's Wife fun? I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I weren't busy.

I enjoyed the pics. Of course seeing pics of our friends, Mark and Diane, was special. I have done the 'grandma' thing with my neice/nephew by going to field trips, etc. Isn't it fun? Alayna seems so pleasant. She reminds me so much of her sweet Mom.

I'll see you in Arlington!

I'm glad you were able to play "grandma" for Alayna. I'm sure it meant a lot to her. I'm sure the wedding was very nice, and I am happy for Amber and Zach.

Karla, we enjoyed being home with ya'll and the church. Of course, seeing our "kids" and "grandkids" was wonderful! I'm also glad you got to be "grandma" for Alayna. I would loved being there, but I guess "that's life". I know she loved having you there.
