Will's Arrow Party

We recently hosted a get-together for Will's dedication.  Although the party was for his dedication, it was also a celebration-of-sorts.  The Lord has brought so much healing to Will already!  We have much to be thankful for.  For as much as the Lord answered Mark and I's prayers for Will, He also answered our friends' and family's prayers - so it was only fitting to celebrate together.

We all met in our backyard, Mark and I shared a bit, everyone prayed for us, we sang "Great is Thy Faithfulness" (also sang this at our wedding! - such a great hymn to sing in all of our seasons of life.), and then we ate hot dogs, s'mores, and chatted the night away!  

I am mildly insane, and I LOOK for things to decorate, so naturally, I had a small hay day decorating for this party.  I am proud to say that I spent NO - zero, zilch, nada - money on the decor.  (Special thanks to my mama for her arrow-making abilities and hoarding tendencies.)  My advice in decorating for parties?  SHOP YOUR HOUSE.  Figure out what you already have and plan your entire theme around it.

This party was all about arrows - inspired from Psalm 127 - Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.  Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!

 

Needless to say, all the partying tuckered us out!
