Friday Favorites


Friday is here!!  Amiss the anticipation for the weekend, I am loving the opportunity to reflect on the blessings of the past week.  As the weeks seem to fly by, it is easy to go through them without stopping to remember the good times and to thank God for the smallest blessings.

Here are a few of my favorite things about this week:

Boot Shopping:

I"m blessed to have three boys and they are truly country boys!  My two older ones wear boots regularly and the youngest one loves to follow in their footsteps...literally!!! We took the youngest son boot shopping this weekend.  While he and his dad shopped in the boys section, I wandered over to see what they had that had a more feminine look.  YEP!  Pink, flowers and girly!!  That is all me!!  I had fun trying them on, but didn't get them.  The son found the perfect pair, so the trip was a success!


My New Daily Planner
Becoming organized is one of my desires, but getting there is another story!!  I've tried numerous notebooks, planners, printables etc.  Last year I found a planner that worked really well, loved the size and the content.  This week I received an email about this planner at 1/2 price!!  HERE is the link with a preview of the planner.


Timely WORD:
Our church distributes the ladies devotional magazine Journey. Each day is a short, relevant message for women along with a Bible passage to read.  One day this week the devotion was about waiting patiently for God....I know...one of those areas which are 'under construction'!!  The verse was Lamentations 3:25-26 - "The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord."  and as I read and purposed to put this verse into my heart, brought a blessing and hope deep into my soul.



Kombucha
Since I'm always open to ways to improve health, after doing some research, I have began drinking Kombucha.  I'll be sharing more about this health drink, but a quick description about it I found is that "It’s more that this beverage promotes health. It gives your body what it needs to heal itself by
 1)aiding your liver in removing harmful substances,
 2)promoting balance in your digestive system, 
3)being rich in health-promoting vitamins, enzymes, and acids.
I love the taste of it and knowing it is something good to be putting into my body.  At a recent visit with a relative, she had a bottle on her counter.  Finding our common interest in it, this week, we went to the health food store and split a case of it ( less expensive that way) and I have several bottles on hand!



It's been a good week and I've loved looking back and thanking God for bringing us through another one!

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....
