Bogarts

.. We  had such a lovely time at Bogarts  last night!  7 couples gathered in the party room for an evening of music, devotions, food and fellowship.  Matthew did a wonderful job providing music for us all and the food was delicious... We all shared appetizers ... wasabi green beans...OK...  homemade potato chips with awesome homemade warm dip.....calamari with Thai sauce... uh... not so much... anything deep fried with tentacles intact... NOPE!  Matt and Fred had the whole plate to themselves.  While I kept safe with herb roasted chicken,  Chris got bold with the shrimp and grits... how totally southern... he said it was really good... Growing up in the Midwest, I've never acquired the taste for grits... corn meal..any day... grits ..not so much..

  Matt's devotion for the evening was so very good... Ephesians chapter 5 starting at verse 22... all about husbands and wives... He put on his coaching hat and encouraged each of us to feel blessed in the roles God had appt. to us... encouraging each of us to begin our ministry in our own home and families... because only with the right relationship with the Lord, and then within our families, can we minister to others.. Dads were reminded to be the teachers of the Word to their children, not giving the jobs to a youth pastor once a week.   Wives to submit to your husbands and Husbands to love your wives as Christ loved the church. ... and when these things are full filled ...harmony exists.

 Each wife was presented with a white rose from their husbands.  How blessed I am to have a husband who loves me so much !

  We were late getting home... and it was up at 5:00 to do our basketball run... but I wouldn't have traded our evening for anything...

 Enjoy the pictures... and have a fine day...all day long..
