Friday's Fave Five #656

Welcome to Friday's Fave Five.  A place to think on and share five of your favorite blessings from the past week.  I, unfortunately, have to make my post short and sweet.  It's been a very busy week with Mom being taken to ER and admitted to hospital.  She is doing ok now but boy, it's been exhausting.  But in spite of everything that comes with a health scare there is good things in my week too.  I'm here to think about those things, to notice where God has moved and has lifted me up.  Won't you join in?

~ this post ~  I really enjoyed reading this wonderful post that said everything I try to say in FFF's but she worded it oh so much better. I also loved that she used the story of the Israelites piling stones to help them remember everything God has done.  I like to think that my FFF posts are like one remembering stone upon another reminding me of God in my life.

~ supper at a friend's ~ Having supper at a friend's home used to be a regular occurrence for us but since covid that kind of fellowship became non-existant.   But this past Saturday we received an unexpected last minute invite to a really good friend's home for dinner. What a blessing to be sitting across from them enjoying the meal they prepared and laughing and sharing.  My I've missed this! 

~ evening cup of tea ~ now that the weather is cooler those nice hot cups of tea in the evenings are tasting so good.  Some about tea and putting your feet up and relaxing all go together.

~ shawls ~ around these parts with fall comes some pretty windy days.  And with that wind comes a feeling of the house being colder.  But not enough to turn the heat on.  My son got me a shawl a couple Christmas' ago and I find it's just perfect wrapping that around my shoulders.  Warms me up enough without being too hot like a thick throw or sweater would.  

~ little tiny apples with big flavor ~ when I went to the bank I noticed some trees in the parking lot that were ripe with fruit.  I thought they were plums at first but then realized they were little apples.  The city has a whole bunch of various fruit trees around town for public picking so I picked a bag of them.  And they are so delicious.  They are bigger than a crab apple but way smaller than a regular apple, sweet and tart at the same time.  A nice treat and bonus, the dayhome kids love them, though they are pain to peel because of their size.

What were your favorite blessings from your week?
