We had an ABSOLUTE WONDERFUL time and we worked our fannies off too! Both my kids and I were up early and on the road headed to Angels where the work had already started and everywhere you looked was Food, Food and more Food!
I knew Angel had a successful career as the Sweet Lady and even though she has made the decision to release that position so that she can enjoy her family she had this last job to do and I have to say ....She did an amazing job! I know the Lord has to be smiling down on her and so proud of the way she did everything! That girl was organized to a "T", Full of JOY and Praise, and Wow ...the food was awesome and the tables were ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! We all laughed and laughed and then laughed some more! For me, watching our kids together is just so amazing as Angel and I were their age (or younger) when we were first met one another and became best friends !! So without further ado....here are a few pics from our day!
The Master Mind ~Angel, Hard at work!!
The Gang! minus Dan who was taking the pic! Yep, that's my goofy girl with the "green" eyes ;) Isn't she silly!
Friends who work together, laugh together and Love the Lord together! How blessed are we!!
Drew and Jen ....can't believe we got a pic with no funny faces!! Aren't they adorable!
One of her tables with the Famous and "First time attempt" Fruit Tower
Rest of the table with more of the delicious goodies!
I am so thankful to have been able to share in this day and was sooo very proud of my kids! They worked so hard ! Everyone did! It was such a blessing to be a part of!
Colossians 3:23 instructs us
"Whatever work you are doing, do your best as if you are doing it for the Lord...not men!
I love how the Message version goes:
Servants, do what you're told by your earthly masters. And don't just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you'll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you're serving is Christ. The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being a follower of Jesus doesn't cover up bad work
This is how each and everyone worked for this Bride and Groom! What a blessing!

Friends are so awesome, the food looks delicious.
How wonderful to see you and your friend and everyone involved and working together. Both of you, setting examples yourselves to your children of what the true value of friendship is. Even more special knowing Who has a hold on this friendship. The table with all those goodies made me hungry! [I just woke up and haven't eaten breakfast yet :)]...Blessings to you sister Loren and may God bless you and your friendships...
OK, now I'm really hungry! What a wonderful time you must have had! God is sooo good!
Happy Monday Loren, Loved seeing the pics from your time with your friend. What a friend you are to help with a wedding-what joy for all of you. Your kids look like they are wonderful helpers plus just plain fun.
Have a great day!

What a fun thing to do...and I think it is wonderful that your kids got involved and saw that HARD work can still be fun and satisfying. I'm impressed with the fruit tower. Looks good. And yes, they are adorable...Have a wonderful day. HUGS, Debbie
Oh Loren, I just love you!! Thanks for all the help and all the praise!! Wouldn't have wanted to do it without you guys!! It was so much fun and a huge success!! I love all the work, but hearing and seeing the JOY is the best part!!
I, too, love watching our kids together after all these years!! You are so right, We are very Blessed!!
Thank you for sharing this! The food all looks beautiful and delicious! I can see the JOY coming from each of your smiles! Colossians 3:23 is one of my favorite verses. Looks like Angel could keep her business and continue spending fun time with her family, but I respect her decision! Thank you again for sharing, Loren!
My goodness mercy! Looks like I could just pick one of those strawberries right off the table and Drew and Jen ARE precious.
I love it when friends and family work together. Not many things bring greater joy.
Love you dear friend,
D.
