It's been a GOOD Day...

It's close to midnight on a quiet Autumn evening. 

The little ones are nestled in their little beds...

Daddy is on the road...traveling to New Bern, by himself, for the last time. 

Mommy is listening to the stillness, but for the dryer beeping at it's random intervals. 

It's been a GOOD day. 

Today I went to visit a friend. She wasn't home, but I got to enjoy the 


BEAUTY that was on her front door! Aren't these GORGEOUS! 


I then played hookey from the fam and visited a little Antique Shop on
Depot Street in Christiansburg. I took a picture, but it didn't turn out. = ( 
But I so enjoyed walking the rooms and soaking in the 


BEAUTY of timeless treasures. 

Yesterday, little Daisy Mae was picked up by her current owner for a week while we are away. We still don't know if she'll end up a member of the McCarthy Tribe, but doesn't Isabella look GOOD with her in her arms?! = )

Gracie has enjoyed the focused time of playing on Caela's DS. She's such a little whirlwind MOST of the time, I just HAD to get some pics of her QUIET and STILL...another BEAUTY shot! 

Today Isabella got to have a playdate with one of her BFF's, Abbie. 

Isabella's 11th Birthday is December 11th. 
Hoping we can maybe get a little early celebrating with her VA friends before we leave. 

Two BEAUTIFUL girls!

(Bill and I with our friend, Tom Herrick)

 
Tomorrow is Bill's last Sunday at Healing Grace Church....

 

ALONE! = )

 

And it's a SPECIAL time for the Healing Grace Family! 

 

After the service our dear friend, Tom, will be having a Skype Conference with our new Church Family for his last Church Planting Coaching session with the HGC Leadership Team. 

 

These last 8 months have been AWESOME in building the foundations for HGC. 

Wishing the kids and I could be there! 

 

He is a BEAUTIFUL instrument in the hand of a BEAUTIFUL God! 

So looking forward to seeing the Lord do GREAT and MIGHTY things through HGC's time with Tom in addition to all the other factors that have built such a STRONG foundation for 

this precious church Jesus has called us to serve in. 

Tonight, I leave you with the BEAUTY of these gorgeous fragrant roses! 

 

I bought them for $3.99 at Kroger last week. 

 

Jesus knew I needed some BEAUTY to accompany this week of 

brown and black and upheaval with boxes, tape, and paper.

 

I LOVE MY ROSES! 

 

May the Rose of Sharon visit with you this night and especially on His Day

the Sabbath! 

May His Spirit fill you and refresh you as you worship Him with YOUR body of believers tomorrow. 

Peace of the Lord...
