Friday's Fave Five #22

Welcome again to Friday's Fave Five. Are you ready to take a look at your week and find your Five Favorite things about it. I must admit when I sat down I thought this was going to be really hard. It wasn't the easiest week of my life. But once I started to look back there were five favorite things, albiet mixed up in the chaos, but they were there. So if you'd like to join in, please make a Fave Five post and don't forget to sign on to Mr. Linky! If you're new, details are here. And if you'd like to grab the new button for February, feel free!

So onto my five favorite things from the week:

1. Youth leaders. I am so appreciative of people who feel called and take on youth groups. Bless you, if you are one of them. It is certainly a job I could never do. Getting the Word into our kids, building relationships with them, encouraging relationships within the group, living out the Christian life in front of the kids, being available for them and allowing yourself to have their kind of fun, I'm telling you I totally admire and am so thankful for you.

2. Throat Formula Organic Tea. Apparently now called Throat Coat. I'm telling you this has been a gift this week. My sister gave me this when I last had a really bad sore throat and I wasn't too nuts about the taste, but this week my throat was so sore I didn't care about the taste and I'm telling you, this was so soothing. I now quite enjoy the taste, sorta licoricey and it does the job. So a nice hot mug of this throughout the day is definitely one of my favorite things this week.

3. Birthday Celebrations. More specifically, celebrating my one and only son's 17th. Can it really be he is that old already. He's my homebody. He's quite content being at home, celebrating his birthday with his family and Grandmother's. He's such a good boy! And he'd be totally embarrased to know I just said that.

4. Going downstairs and seeing my "library". I have wanted a bookshelf for years and hubby blessed me on my last birthday with a literal wall of them. I walk into the tv room and just sigh when I see them. This isn't all my books on it yet but I just had to show you. Ignore the the ugly wall behind it and just feast your eyes upon the loveliness of the shelves. My hubby totally doesn't get my love for books and reading or of bookshelves so it was an extra special gift that he actually got me three!

5. And last but definitely not least was talking to Kay on the phone. It's always so good to hear her voice and hear her telling me about her days away at school. And yeah, that I can actually call her for free anytime on my cell phone plan. Yipee for that.

Tell me, what's your favorite things this week? Don't forget to sign Mr. Linky if you done a post. Make sure you use the URL for your specific post and not just your homepage.
