Here are a few more photos from our trip to Branso

Here are a few more photos from our trip to Branson last week. These were taken at the Sight & Sound Theater where we saw a superb stage production of The Miracle of Christmas. 🎄 After taking so many road trips over the years with a van packed full of kids and luggage, it seems so strange to be traveling with just the youngest of our twelve children plus my own dear mother in tow. But the rest of the kids are all busy with college classes or jobs or families of their own now. 📚 So we are savoring this season of travel with the bookends of our big happy family, marveling over how grown up and mature Abby is getting and how youthful and spry Nana still seems, even at age 87. 🎂 After this play was over and we found ourselves stuck behind a very slow-moving line of seniors making zero progress towards the ground-level exit, Nana wowed us all by jumping over a row of seats to get out of the theater faster through the upper-level doors. 🚪 #flandersfamilytravels #threegenerations #bransonmissouri @sightandsoundtheatres

Do you love singing hymns of Thanksgiving and prai

Do you love singing hymns of Thanksgiving and praise as much as I do? To add some traditional music to your Thanksgiving celebrations, comment SING, and I’ll send you a link to our free printable song booklet. #makeajoyfulnoise #singtothelordanewsong #bethankfuluntohim #blesshisname #comebeforehispresencewithsinging

One of the things we traditionally do on vacation

One of the things we traditionally do on vacation is work a jigsaw puzzle — usually one we find at a local thrift store. #cheapfun On our most recent trip, we worked two. And even Dad helped with one of them, start to finish. (He usually reads a book until we’re 95% finished before jumping in to lend a hand). 🧩 #flandersfamilytravels #bransonmissouri

Want to shine as a light in the darkness and share

Want to shine as a light in the darkness and share hope this Halloween? Comment LIGHT, and I’ll send you a link to download our free printable trick-or-treat tracts. We have 10 different designs to choose from! My family has given away thousands of these over the years. We don ’t get nearly as many trick-or-treaters in our new neighborhood as we did in our old one, but I’ll be ready if any show up. 🎃🍭📖🙏🏻 #freeprintable #halloweentracts #jesusisthelightoftheworld

✅ voted early
✅ got sticker
✅ took selfie Now I won’t have to worry about standing in line at the polls next Tuesday (or take a break from checking everybody in as quickly as possible at the polling location where I’ll be working all day on Election Day). If you haven’t already voted, why wait? If you live in Smith County and vote early, you’ll get a commemorative “2024 Presidential Election” sticker instead of the run-of-the-mill “I Voted” variety we’ll be handing out next week once these are all gone. 🇺🇸 #govote #godblessamerica #exerciseyourright

Today was the first day of early voting. Christian

Today was the first day of early voting. Christians, please don’t sit this election out. #VOTE and #PRAY for our country and her leaders. For a free copy of out printable, Bible-based prayer guide, just type USA in the comments below. “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” - 2 Chronicles 7:14 #praywithoutceasing #godblesstheusa🇺🇸
