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!

Our May Mississippi Fun

 Hey Friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers! We arrived safely back at my Ohio beach cottage last night. 

Friday was another extremely smooth travel day. We did experience heavy traffic through Kentucky and Ohio. We are so thankful not to have any other hiccups. 

While in Mississippi, we had fun with family and friends. It was great to meet up with Uncle Steve, Deidre, Ben, Chloe Jean and Carson for lunch. The visits end too fast, but I love seeing these special people. 

It is always fun to hang out with our Morris family, too. We had a big meal one night prepared by Bro. Scott and Sis. Kim. The food and fellowship were both amazing. Saylor Brooke is so much fun. She loves playing with “Aunt Jo!”

Wednesday afternoon, we had an unplanned lunch meetup. We went to Cracker Barrel after Sis. McDonald's funeral and Bro. Tim, Sis. Ruthie Angel Cauley and Sis. Ginger Allen were eating there too. They invited us to join them. It was wonderful to see and visit with our precious friends. 

That is just a glimpse of our week in Mississippi. Thanks for stopping by to see us.
