It’s always good to take stock along the path of life;
and, one of the best ways for reflection is to join in with the Friday’s FaveFive group of bloggers.
The idea is to find 5 highlights, or thankfuls, in
your life. It’s easy!
Although I have been busily working on my upcoming
series, His AmaZing Love from A to Z, scheduled to begin April 1st,
there is still time to stop and see the blessings in everyday life. Big or
small, they are begging to be found.
1. Of course, a MiMi’s post of thankfulness must
include her grandchildren! Here are the twins in their spring pics:
Don’t they look much older than 3 years and 9 months?
And of course, the cutest 8-month-old ever! Love her dark eyes!
I know. I know. Yours are the cutest, too.
2. Here in the
heartland of America, Spring has arrived. Sort of. She likes to come with sunny
days in the upper 50s and even 60s. Then she retreats to bone-chilling rainy
dreary days. Such a tease!
She did leave these flowers, though …
3. One of my little joys in life is participating in
the Mercy House Earring of the Month Club. I like knowing I’m helping mothers
work their way out of poverty by creating jewelry. I like knowing each month I
get a new pair of earrings! Of course, sometimes they are not my style, but
most of the time I can use them. I was wanting some earrings with tassels on
them. Here is my March surprise:
If you’d like to help this worthy cause, go here to
find out all about it!
4. I love me
some stories. I realized this when the Winter Olympics was on. My favorite
sport was the figure skating, but I watched all the coverage every chance I got
because I loved hearing the stories about the athletes.
Recently, the American Idol television started a new
season and I realized again, for me, it was all about the stories. I’m not into
pop music but I sure do love all the clips of the different contestants sharing
their hopes and dreams and struggles with us.
Must be why I’m into blogging. I love sharing my story
with you, and I love reading all the stories out there in cyberspace. Keep
sharing!
5. I may, or may not, have shared on the blog before how
our family tries to have dinner together frequently. Thursdays are our Family
Night where everyone comes that can, and the ones who live near me come on
Mondays and Tuesdays as well.
Therefore, I need recipes that can feed a crowd. I
picked a winner last week, and I’m thankful the Pioneer Woman came up with it. Chicken
Alfredo Stuffed Shells are totally yum. You might want to check it out.
You’re welcome.
How’s your Journey going? I’d love to hear all about
it! Leave a comment, or visit Susanne’s space, Living to Tell the Story, and
link up a post of your own.

I love that you are able to have such a gathering for dinner. I wish my children lived closer. They are about an hour away. Spring is teasing us here in New England also. Well, it's more like winter just won't let go.
ReplyDeleteAwe, what sweet "faves," Jerralea. The little ones are adorable. Love your idea of the family meals. Lately, I've been thinking about having a once-a-month family meal/get together. It's harder with adult children, and especially when some live out of town. I like your idea of a weekly one better, though! :) (I don't think my out-of-town son could swing that right now though, unfortunately.) Thanks for sharing all your favorites. ((Hug))
ReplyDeleteHello Jerralea, I enjoyed reading your thankfuls. Look at how big those twins are getting. They look so grown up. How nice to have those standing family meals on the calendar. Hope your Easter week is going well.
