SUNDAY IN THE SOUTH

Scripture of the Day
This scripture was read in Discipleship Training tonight at church and really spoke to me. Some things have happened over the last few weeks that the scripture reminded me of.

John 15:18-25
Amplified Bible (AMP)
18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you.
19 If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world [no longer one with it], but I have chosen (selected) you out of the world, the world hates (detests) you.
20 Remember that I told you, A servant is not greater than his master [is not superior to him]. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word and obeyed My teachings, they will also keep and obey yours.
21 But they will do all this to you [inflict all this suffering on you] because of [your bearing] My name and on My account, for they do not know or understand the One Who sent Me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin [would be blameless]; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Whoever hates Me also hates My Father.
24 If I had not done (accomplished) among them the works which no one else ever did, they would not be guilty of sin. But [the fact is] now they have both seen [these works] and have hated both Me and My Father.
25 But [this is so] that the word written in their Law might be fulfilled, They hated Me without a cause.

Food for thought...

HAPPY GRANDPARENT'S DAY
Today is Grandparent's Day. This Sunday in the South post is dedicated to my grandparents and my boys grandparents. My boys have no idea how lucky they are. They have two amazing sets of grandparents that love them unconditionally and have been a part of their lives since day 1. Each one of them has a special bond with both of my children and for that I am eternally grateful. I love y'all so much and I appreciate how you love my babies. I hope one day to be the kind of grandparent all of you are. 

My Parent's




Chad's Parents



Words can not express how blessed I am to be almost 34 years old and still have my Granny in my life. I have spent a lot of time with her over the years. She has been with me on shopping trips, she has made costumes, watched me in recitals and plays, watched me cheer, heard me sing, hung every picture I ever gave her on her famous refrigerator. Made me special pancakes (the size of the pan), bacon and hoop cheese with maple syrup breakfast when I was in college, and homemade chicken noodle soup just a few years ago when I had surgery. She is one special woman and I am so thankful for her.  

       
My Papaw Buford (Mama's daddy), and my Memaw  (Daddy's Mama) has gone on to Heaven. I would give anything if I could talk to him just one more time here on earth. For him to see my boys and have conversations with Peyton about trucks and parts, to have Landon out talk him, and out do him on blessing the food prayers. I would love to see MeMaws face while Landon told her a wild story or hear her ask Peyton where he got them long legs from.  I have peace in knowing one sweet day that it will happen. Also, I don't have a picture of him, I never met him. I know my daddy looks alot like him. I know how much I love my daddy, so I am pretty sure I would have just loved him to pieces too. He passed away when I was a baby. My daddy's daddy, I think I probably would have called him Poppa Joe. I don't know. One day I will get the chance...

Happy Grandparent's Day in Heaven to all of you.
















#OOTD #SUNDAYINTHESOUTH

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES! When Rebecca posted this online I told her it was a necessity! It can be worn with nude heels in the spring and summer or with boots (as pictured) in the fall. It is the perfect transition dress!
