Show and Tell Friday

Today is Show and Tell Friday over at Kelli's House It is so much fun to share special things around our home with others.
Today I want to share something very special to me. This week marked a sad day for me - the first anniversary of the passing away of my mother. My aunt who lived right next door to my mother wanted to do something special for me. She wanted to go to town to pick something up, but she didnt' have the time. She created a beautiful bouquet of flowers and put them in a vase and presented them to me. Something very special she did was take some azalea flowers which were blooming in my mother's yard and added some dogwood flowers also. It was a homemade creation made with love and a thought that I will always cherish. Here is a picture of the bouquet. It brought great comfort and joy to me that day!

    I'm sorry about your Mom, I'm still blessed to have mine even though we lost my MIL 18 months ago.

    What a thoughtful gift! That was kind of her to do something so special for the both of you really! It was probably good for her, doing a kindness for her dear sister's daughter!

    I know, I KNOW just how you feel. Both my parents are now gone from the physical world, but they're still in my heart and memories. The hurt goes away but the thoughts and treasures held in your heart remain!!!

    HUGS....

    So sweet, and so much better than one from the florist.

    My mom passed away a little over two years ago and I miss her often.

    What a sweet way to remember your mother. The Azaleas have been in full bloom here in South Georgia over the past few weeks. I love them!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I feel like we bonded this weekend even though we have never met. Wasn't LPL something??

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. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
