Mother’s Day 2026 In Pics

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday was a wonderful Sunday. We spent it going to church twice at DRPC. 

Both services were very good. God blessed and helped! Bro. Bennie delivered excellent messages that were encouraging and helpful to us!

Sunday morning, at the end of the service, we honored the mothers. They recognized Sis Sutherland as the Mother of the church. Then they honored the Youngest Mother, Oldest Mother present, the Mother with the most children present, and drew a name for the "Prettiest Mother. Then all the Mothers received a gift. 

After service, Mom and I grabbed a quick bite to eat. When our family finished their service, we stopped by Mamaw and Papaw's house. We spent some time with some family members. 

Then we had time to head home for a quick nap. Quickly, it was time to go back to church.

 A special part of Sunday night was the ordination of two of our DRPC young preachers. We are proud of Bro. Jared Hall and Bro. Luke Hall and Sis. Madison Hall. 

Then it was time to honor the class of 2026. We have 3 high school graduates this year. 

This made for a full but blessed Sunday! Here are some pictures from our day. See you tomorrow.

Happy Mother’s Day 2026

 

Hey Friends,

Today is Mother’s Day in the United States. On this day, we honor the wonderful women that God chose to be our Mothers. 

I am blessed with the World's Best Mother! Kelly Jo Boggs is the perfect Mom for me. She is a gift from God that I love, honor and cherish. 

I try to show her my appreciation all year long, but today is extra special. 

Mom, thank you sounds so hollow. It can not fully convey my gratitude for your love, friendship and help! 

You are constantly doing something for me. Because of you, my life is incredible!  

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my advocate and my critic. I know you always have my best interest at heart.

Most of all you taught me to love and serve God with my whole heart. You have shown me by example! That is the best thing I could ever learn from you!

I love our laughs, Thank you for being a fun Mom!

God also blessed me with awesome Grandmothers! I love them both so much! 

I am so thankful for my Mamaw Martha Boggs and my Gran Betty Morgan. 

Their prayers love and spoiling 🥰 have helped me through life. I am grateful to still have them living near us today. 

There is another special lady that I call Mama. Sis. Joy Cummins adopted me several years ago. Now she is my Oklahoma Mama Joy!

She deserves a Mother's Day shout out today! I love you, Mama Joy!

Happy Mother's Day to these lovely ladies! May you have a fantastic day and feel well loved!

Many other precious women have influenced my life. I am thankful for each of them and the contribution to my life! May bless them today too!

Ellisville Mother's Day Banquet 2026

 Hey Friends,

Mom and I were invited to attend a Mother's Day banquet. It took place at First Assembly in Ellisville, Mississippi, on Saturday evening. 

The First Assembly Ladies put on a great banquet to honor mothers. We were thrilled to be there for this year's event. They had the hall decorated beautifully! The Theme was a spring tea party. The food was delicious, and the fellowship was sweet!

At the last minute, we were asked to sing a song as well. It was an adventure, but we had fun. We learned a new song, sang to a soundtrack, and I had trouble getting my part done. We tried the song again. It was a whole ordeal, but the ladies got a comedy act they will not forget. 

Sis. Tina Stringfellow gave a great devotion. She spoke to us about hearing God’s voice during chaos. It was a challenging but encouraging devotion. 

It was wonderful to spend time with my Mama and several precious friends. Ellisville friends, thank you for including us! We love y'all  

I will close with pictures from the evening. They had a photo booth set up. The lights made Mom’s hair look purple. 😂 My crazy friends were also trying to get me to smile. They were treating me like a baby/toddler. I think they were successful. I was cracking up!

See you tomorrow.
