Happy Friday to you all! I've had a great week, hope you did, too. I love to recap on Fridays the highlights of the previous week. Join me, won't you?
1. My favorite thing to do is, of course, write blog posts. I had a pretty good week of posting. It's hard to choose my favorites, because posts to a blogger are like children to a parent. How can you love one more than the other? They each contain a little part of you. If I were to just pick one, though, it would be "Only One Eternity" because I love the illustration of the 3 stages of life.
2. Favorite Photo(s): Again, I couldn't just pick one. For instance, I love this photo of a goose that decided the front of our church would be a good layover on his way back North.

Here he is in the church flowerbed. I never realized geese were so BIG! Makes me wonder how they can fly ...
One of the church ladies brought some Spring flowers to the church. I love fresh-picked flowers!
These photos were taken from our back yard. The fields around our place are filled with some kind of yellow flower right now. I love the yellow fields against the blue skies.
3. No favorite meals to report this week ... but can I just say that the chicken strip meal at Dairy Queen is on sale this month? We picked up some for Tuesday night since I had a meeting. Having takeout enabled me to actually be early for the meeting. I love me some early!
4. Quote of the week:
Regardless of the mess of your life, if Christ is Lord of
your life — then you are the celebrant out dancing in a pouring
rain of grace! Because when it’s all done and finished, all is well,
and Christ already said it was finished.

I recommend you go read the whole post. (Just click on the link.) You'll be glad you did.
5. Cool breezes and blue skies: Is there anything better? I so love this time of year that God created. What an awesome gift! When my hubby and I go walking laps on the track at the park, when we are done, we like to sit and rest at a certain bench. I can feel the breeze on my neck and gaze at the trees and grasses in the park. I think to myself, "And heaven will be so much more than this! I don't see how it could be, but it will be. I have so much to look forward to as a child of God." Gratitude wells up in my spirit!
This is a great world our Father created for us! I hope you each go out this week and savor it!

Wonderful Jerri! Blue skies and nice breezes are wonderful. I really do love Spring and am thankful to God for the beauty of it all. Glad you made it to that meeting early...
