Friday Faves


Although I'm a sporadic blogger, it is the concept of cherishing memories of daily life and blessings that keeps me coming back here to my blog to post! 
Many bloggers share about their week as they express their "Friday Favorites".  I love taking the time to reflect on the moments and blessings that otherwise may be forgotten.  Some bloggers share the pictures taken on their cell phones to capture these special moments.

Here is my list of Friday Favorites:
1.  Movie time with my son. 
I have a 20 year old who lives with us, but we rarely see!!  He works evenings and I am usually in bed by the time he gets home.  One night this week, I was still up reading and he found the movie Facing the Giants on TV.  Although we've seen in many times, it's timeless message of courage and faith again inspires us.  During one of the emotional scenes, I cried (like always!).  My son says', "You've seen this over and over, why are crying again?"  Love that no nonsense attitude he has!  Loved that time spent together.

2.  Wildflowers


Black eyed susans are in bloom and everywhere we go, the roads are lined with carpets of vibrant color.  On my evening walk, I found this little bit of rustic beauty.
3.  Porch Sitting
After a week of rainy, dreary, cloudy weather, this week the weather was gorgeous!  Beautiful sunshine, mild breezes and a perfect temperature.  One morning I just had to do my morning routine outside and enjoy it! 

4.  Ladies Bible Study
Our church has began a new Ladies Bible Study on spiritual gifts.  Loved gathering together with ladies for the purpose of seeking God, thanking Him for equipping us to serve Him and bless others.

5.  Essential Oils
I'm learning about and using essential oils more and loving them!  My husband had a very stressful week and a few nights I applied the oil "Valor" to his feet.  There is a beauty in humility - it doesn't come naturally, but when purposefully putting the needs of others first and serving them, the Lord can bring about such a blessing to our lives and homes! 
 Those are the special moments of my week.  Be encouraged to take a few minutes and reflect on what God has done for you this week!! Feel free to share in the comment section, I would love to hear about it!

    I wish my week were as pleasant as yours! I have had a week that has rocked my world - the week of a lifetime which is challenging me on all levels and forcing me to cling to my Lord for guidance.

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

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
