Friday Faves

This week's Friday Faves centers around relationships. Women especially need to connect with other women. We need to laugh together, to talk, to learn and grow from each other. A recent church ladies fellowship provided one of those special times, to listen, laugh and learn.


Our ladies meeting centered around the Titus 2 concept where the older women share godly wisdom from life experience and bring encouragement to the younger women. We learned every woman is 'an older woman' to someone! This is one of our church's Titus 2 women.  We had a wonderful time listening to her share from God's Word and from her life, how to trust the Lord at all times.


A workplace in-service day brought together ladies who serve and minister in 2 locations for a time of reflection, purpose and direction.  Of course lots of food and fellowship followed.  I'm so thankful to be a part of a workplace filled with godly women with true hearts to minister.  


My youngest son, now a teenage driver!  I'm getting used to being chauffeured around and the changes this age brings.  He has always been a country boy, boots, jeans, t-shirts and caps.  Since starting on the golf team, he is incorporating some shades, khaki shorts and visors.  I think it is just adorable!


Of course we are approaching my favorite time of the year - fall.  Finished up the decorations for my house and am loving being surrounded by vibrant colors, candles and pumpkins.

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...

WFW – Write It On My Heart

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel       after that time, declares the Lord.    I will put My laws in their minds       and write them on their hearts.    I will be their God,       and they will be My people.  Hebrews 8:10 On a recent field trip to a museum featuring the days gone by, we sat in an old schoolroom as the teacher introduced us to the quill pen and bottle of ink.  She cautioned us to use extreme caution using the ink and told us that if it got on our skin or clothes, it would not come off. This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word.  As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes w...

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...
