Boggs Family Memorial Day 2024

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in for my Saturday post. I hope you are doing well. I have had an excellent week. 

Today, I am here with a Boggs Family gathering in pictures. Monday, most of the family was on hand to commemorate Memorial Day. 

It is superb to be with so many family members, some of whom I do not get to spend time with often. I tried my best to savor every moment. I am blessed with a wonderful family! I love each of them very much!

We also celebrated Papaw's birthday with one of his favorite things: a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. 

It was a highlight of the day.

Chloe Jean got the first piece. She loved it! Papaw loved feeding it to her!

Below are pictures that Deidre,  Aunt Theresa and I captured throughout the day. I hope you enjoy Boggs Family Memorial Day 2024.

All seven of the Boggs grandchildren were together for the day, which has not happened since last Memorial Day. I love my cousins dearly! 

Memorial Day 2024 is now in the history books. It was great to make memories with my family! Thanks for joining me today. See you next time!

Tired

Thursday was the time appointed for Bro. Ricky Boler to have the cancer removed. The surgeon said that the surgery went well although it was long. They will test the tissues but his professional opinion is that Bro. Boler may not need additional treatment. Hallelujah!

He has had some severe pain and there is a long road of recovery ahead of him but we are thankful for the help he has received so far. Thank you to all of you who have prayed for him, his wife and his church.

Praise God for all that he has done and will continue to do.🙌🏽🙌🏽

Tired

KJo and I went to the hospital about mid morning. However we intended to be there much earlier. While driving on I-20 a few miles west of Meridian, Mississippi we heard an awful and sudden racket coming from the back passenger side.

Kelly got stopped quickly and we went out to examine the situation in the rain. We were shocked to find a large piece of wire or fence of some kind sticking out of the middle of the tread.

About the time we discovered the source of the problem, a man named Cooper pulled over in front of us and came back to help. While he was getting the Jack set up, I pulled out the spare as a Mississippi state trooper pulled in behind and also offered to help.

They worked together to remove the tire and install the spare while I did my best to hold the umbrella to keep a little of the light rain at bay.

Cooper then led us to a tire shop in Meridian  before he went on to work. The tire shop took about an hour to get us taken care of, but they plugged the tire. 

I am thankful it was able to be repaired, because the tire is only five months old. This is what it looked like once they got it up in the Jeep. 

Cooper helped us tremendously, even giving us his phone number in case we needed any more help. He was extremely kind to us and generous with his time.

The Jeep with the spare. 

We are thankful to the men that helped us and ultimately to the Lord for helping us. It would have taken a long time and would have been a miserable process for me to change that tire with the wind and rain alongside the road in my suit and tie.

It worked out perfectly. 

Thank you for reading today.

Please Pray Today

Bro. Ricky Boler is scheduled this morning for surgery to have the cancer removed. The doctors are hopeful the cancer can be removed and that will be the end of it. 

We are praying toward that end result and I am asking you to join us in that prayer. We are believing God to help our friend. 

Bro. Ricky had some major things to get accomplished in relation to his business before surgery and being down for a few weeks. He has been working like a borrowed mule for 10-12 days. I feel for my friend and I want to see all this go well. 

May God bless you for praying for Bro. Ricky Boler. 

Thank you for reading today.

A Word For Wednesday, We Must Stand For Truth

A Word For Wednesday, We Must Stand For Truth, Boggs Family Ministries

Good Morning! Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube. 

We are bombarded by challenges to the truth that is proclaimed in God's Word. Will we allow the truth to fall in the streets? A thousand times NO! With love, grace and compassion we must stand for the truth. 

Martin Luther said, If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the Word of God, 

-Except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that point attacking, 

-I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. 

-Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is tested

-To be steady in all the battlefields besides is mere flight and disgrace, if the soldier flinches at that one point.

I hope you enjoy A Word For Wednesday. Thank you for dropping in.

Happy Birthday, Eugene Boggs

My Dad’s name is Eugene Boggs and today he turns 81 years old. My Dad being 81 years old is an absolute miracle! Praise God!

This picture of Dad and Mom was taken at Odie’s house only a few days ago. 

Happy Birthday, Dad. We love you and it is a joy to still have you in our lives. We expect you to stay around as long as possible. 

The final two pictures of this Mile Marker were taken yesterday. 

Boggs people in our branch do not regularly live long lives. All of Dad’s siblings but a younger sister are already gone as well as a lot of his first cousins. Dad is setting records each day he lives and we are extremely thankful for it. 

We love you Papa Bear and we hope to see you soon. 

Thank you dear friends for dropping by today.
