Homemaking Tip for this week:
Don't leave a pot holder in the oven by accident or you'll be trying to figure out where that melted plastic smell is coming from for a long time...(Thanks, sis!) :)
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
Bonnie hits it on the head so many times, and I found this one to touch my heart.
Favorite photo from last week:My daugher and nieces...special girls on Confirmation Sunday.
Lesson learned the past few days:
It is still possible to love my spouse more than I already do. God has truly blessed me with him!
On my Prayer List:
My cousin who is having surgery to determine if she has ovarian cancer
My niece who was confirmed yesterday - may she always walk with Christ
Brad's grandpa, who continues to decline
My pastor and staff
Our military personnel
Our country
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
For my niece's confirmation, she received an engraved bible from her parents. All the guests were invited to underline and write in comments regarding their favorite verses and prayers for her. What a special idea and one she will treasure forever. I was so surprised to see two of my favorites already underlined by my husband when I went to write my comments. One of them is Colossians 1:10, "And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way; bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God..." What a challenge this is, but one to keep in mind and at the forefront of everything we say and do. I pray this for myself, my children, and my entire family. May all of us embrace this goal and do all that is possible to live our lives in this way!
The girls are so cute! Grilling out sounds really yummy!
congrats to your niece, god bless, great picture of the little ladies as well
I've left a plastic spatula in the oven before and been in the same spot as you trying to find that smell. Have a great week.
I enjoyed reading your list :)
Sounds like you're going to busy busy today.
I loved the verse you shared. I'm going to write that one down somewhere that I see it regularly. That picture of the girls is sweet. I love the idea of everybody underlining and commenting.
