Tea for two!

Once upon a time, two ladies prepared for tea. 
The smallest of the two played the part of hostess and laid out her fine china. Many lovely delicacies were brought out with the tea.
The two ladies were dressed in their finest jewels and had their hair adorned in the most becoming way. Their dainty pink purses hung across their dainty arms.
They gathered young babies and fed them with great care.  The babes were cleaned, bathed and put to nap in the cozy beds nearby. The two ladies were having such a grand time that they decided to invite others to join them in their tea. 
 The gentlemen neighbors were promptly invited to tea, but alas, they had a prior engagement (helping small frogs jump across the road).  Upon returning to their tea, the ladies met an unfortunate circumstance! They were attacked by a flock of angry birds!
 The prettiest little lady adamantly declared "there's no angry birds having tea!"
When the two ladies were safely seated back at their tea table, another unfortunate event occurred. . .
a Lego grenade was rolled into the room and under the table!
Fortunately, the eldest of the two ladies was quick on her feet and launched the grenade back to its originator.  A baby cried and was quickly consoled and rocked back to sleep.
Thankfully, the wee hostess was unaware of the danger that had threatened the peaceful tea time and graciously continued to serve her guests. It was an exciting evening and a great time was had by all!

Closing out the year 2024

New Year's Eve. . . the end of a year that makes you reflect back on the last 365 days. Most of us are looking forward to the new year and some of us are looking back and wondering where it went! What happened to 2024?! What do we even have to show for it but some bumps and bruises? It's been a wild ride, ya'll!  But reflection is a good thing, right? Taking time to skim over the year and look for highlights and lowlights and facing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements - these are important things to do. So what were some of my wins and losses? What a great year! Celebrated 1 year of working for the church Traveled internationally with hubby several times Started year 2 of our ministry school Got a dog (a BIG dog) Graduated a kid from Bible School Started a kid at a private school (step of faith) What a tough year! Experienced a flood of sorts at the church (broken pipe) Got banned from entering a country Got a dog (a BIG dog) Moved adult kid back home (pare...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I wrote a blog. Posts were few and far between at best. I was working 40+ hours a week at a job. There were 3 children at home with various activities and none were driving so taxiing was my side hustle (unpaid, grueling hours). The Hubs was working 50-60 hours a week pioneering a church and starting a side business. So much has changed since the last post, that I contemplated scrapping it all and starting fresh.  Or should I?   Always a challenge to get all my words out, I hesitate to even write this one. But I will provide a catch-up for history's sake... Kid #1 is graduated and trying to be a grown-up on his own in a different city.  College courses, which are mostly online because of the big 'C', working almost full time and a girlfriend keep him pretty busy, but not too busy to call his mama every few days.  Especially when the bank account is low.  Kid #2 is finishing up his last year of high school and living hi...

Let's see how this goes?

    I can't even describe all the many things that have happened since the last time I blogged.  Let's just say, there is never a dull moment around here! You know the saying about Texas weather? If you don't like it just wait a few minutes and it will change.  That's a pretty accurate description of what life has been like in the world of Davidson.  Across the board, our lives look completely different than they did just one year ago.  If you know me, I'd be happy to sit down and explain the details of how God has shown up time and time again to move things and work things out on our behalf.     Alive Church is thriving in New Waverly, in a God-given building that we could never have built on our own.  A true testament to the vision and heart of our founder, Bishop Jimmy Davidson.  We lost him in April of this year and that has changed the dynamics of both the ministry and our home.  Sis Jackie moved in with us and we are all in a...
