Show and Tell Friday

Today is Show and Tell Friday over at Kelli's House

I would like to show a picture I found years ago that I love. It is strategically placed above the door and it reads: Each day is God's gift to you - Make it blossom and turn into a thing of beauty.

It helps to remind our family to be thankful for each day and then in turn be a blessing wherever you may go!



Make a visit over to Kelli's place and see the other show and tells!

    What a beautiful picture. Happy to meet another church secretary. I really missed it when I retired. That was four years ago. I'm glad now not to have to get up and go every morning, but I did love it when I did it.

    Sometimes it is very hard to follow that. Great to have it up as a constant reminder.

    I like that. Each day is a gift and all the people in it today are the treasures inside of that gift. I like your picture.

    My sister has the exact same picture and I made her put it up in her kitchen at her new house as I liked it at her old house. I like the saying and the flowers!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block.
