I know a few people who have blog entries called: "love Thursday" or "trust gratitude inspiration Friday", where they try to remember great things about the week. I decided that it is always a good idea to ponder the wonderful! The more we think about the good, the less we can dwell on the bad - right?So, this may or may not become a regular event, but today I will start (and encourage you to join along in the comments section, even if you have never commented before - it is easy!)....
LOVE
I LOVE a good church social. Today we had Our Lady's Immaculate Heart's Church picnic and it was LOVEly. We had a BBQ meal and there were kid's games, a bounce house, a paint tattoo artist, cotton candy and root-beer floats. I am not sure what the kids liked the most, but I enjoyed the fact that there WERE many people that I knew and recognized at the picnic (including my cousin's family), so I had a fun time chatting and watching the kid's pleasure. Unfortunately (or fortunately) everything was free, so the kids had cotton-candy AND ice-cream and won tons of candy prizes. Joel probably had more sugar today than in one normal week! I LOVED that I was able to eat reasonable food (a burger and watermelon) rather than regretting all the "fair food" that was available, which I could have consumed!

HOPE
I hope that my kids can have a healthy year. I especially think of Anna and her frequent bouts with viruses last year. This year I am teaching religious ed., so she will be in the nursery during that hour as well as the occasions that I am able to attend my Faith and Friendship gathering that meets on Thursdays. I don't want her to suffer so that I can volunteer and have a social life!

TRUST
I trust that I can make each day better, if I try to remember the truly important. Especially reminding myself that God is the center and to make decisions accordingly.

ReplyDeleteLove: I loved the joy on Walker's face that I witnessed all through his birthday weekend.
Hope: I hope this hectic Monday we have ahead of us will go smoothly. I have an appointment and errands, school pick-ups, music, Monday homework and then cub scouts.
Trust: I trust that God is in charge and that everything will work out according to His plan.
That last comment was me signed in still under M2M. :-)
