Day 18 ~ taste



Today I had but a taste of God's goodness as I spent the day with my children. We saw his beauty as we traveled winding roads along the river and bluffs covered with vibrant colors of red, orange and yellow. 


Today's blessings
I am so grateful for today's blessings.

    Yes, what beautiful blessings. I so appreciate the colors as I live in South Texas and miss the changing of the seasons in God's vibrancy.
    Glad I was a near-neighbor on The Weekend Brew.

Stay-cation: Fun Things to Do Around Rochester, MN

Family vacations are expensive. Gas, lodging, meals...oh, and then there is the admission cost to all the cool things that you want to see. Vacations cost more than a small fortune. Now figure in the loss of income (some of us don't get paid vacations) and you've "broke the bank". Enter the stay-cation. Gas costs are reduced. Lodging is covered. Meals, although still necessary, can be made at home and packed in a cooler. This summer, instead of taking a week off, I am taking a couple long weekends. One weekend we will be traveling "Up North" to visit my husband's college buddy. Otherwise we're keeping our exploring near to home. Another benefit to a stay-cation is a little extra time for home projects. I can keep up with the laundry, instead of having a week's worth of laundry to do when I return home. Isn't that the worst part of vacation - the accumulation of dirty clothes you have to wash after being away from home all week? Gardening ca...

stripped bare

It's Friday which means it's time to dance and sing (the daycare kids and I have a song and dance to celebrate this glorious day). Friday is also the day in which Lisa-Jo hosts Five Minute Fridays and I humbly join the party of words strung together in five short minutes by a group of fantastic writers. The rules are simple. Lisa-Jo provides the word, write for five minutes flat, no backtracking/editing/over thinking, share your link at Lisa-Jo's, and share the love by reading what others have written. It's great fun and so inspiring. Won't you join us? I promise, you will be blessed! Today's word ~ BARE Lord, I want to be stripped bare.            Strip me of myself so there is more room for you. Strip me of my foolishness, my stubbornness, my selfishness.    Do nothing from  selfish ambition or  conceit, but in  humility count others more significant than yourselves  Phil. 2:3 And to man He s...

Five Minute Friday ~ Grasp

It is that day of the week. The day of the week in which I not only dance and sing my Friday Song, but also the day of the week in which I join others in a fun writing exercise inspired by Lisa-Jo . A day when I am challenged to think about one word and write from my heart for a mere five minutes. Today's word is grasp. Here we go........ My children,  oh, how I wish I could hold you tight in my grasp for eternity. How I wish I could shelter you from any storm, safe in your mama's arms..... protecting you from evils protectimg you from disappointments protecting you from hurts protecting you from the really hard days. Yet, if I don't loosen this grasp  you will not grow, your wings will not learn how to fly. So I hide my heart's desire to hold on, I loosen my grasp and I lift my prayers up to my Heavenly Father.  A Father who can protect much better than I.    Ah, Lord God!  Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth...
