We took a last-minute trip to visit my parents this weekend! I think it did everyone some good to get away and relax with family. We had not been home since Christmas, so I was starting to miss my family. It is always nice to catch up with everyone! The boys, including Joey, seemed to have a good time. Joey and Scott were able to play golf and mom and I went to see a movie. It was great spending some mom/daughter time. It doesn't happen very often, so every now and then is nice! We went to see "Madea Goes to Jail". It was funny! I had never even heard of it, but the theater was sold out!! I guess I am a little out of the loop! The movie had some really funny parts, but had a great focus on the importance of God in our lives. It is amazing that more secular movies do not include the topic of Jesus / God. So many people could be reached that would otherwise never be exposed to Jesus. Not that the movie was entirely religious, but it was nice to see a "little" bit of religion at the movies! There are so many people that need to hear how God can change their lives. Our church, NewSpring Church, shows us that weekly. It amazes me how many "non church-goers" enter the doors every week and accept Jesus as their savior. The church has a magnificent way of attracting and welcoming everyone that enters the door. I have learned so much as a member! It provides a weekly reminder of what God can do in our lives every day if we only trust him with everything! This is something I have to continually remind myself....
I have attached a few pictures of all the children from the weekend. There are a few of Cole with the pony. I think he was the only one that played with him all weekend! They were busy riding the 4-wheelers and running around the woods! We had a great time and look forward to going again at Easter! I think the bunnies were born yesterday, so even more animals will be there when we arrive......
