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.

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

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...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
