Friday's Fave Five #780

I was so torn which button to put up.  I wanted to pick this one:

but in reality this one reflects the scene around here more:

So I picked the birds on the wire as a happy medium.  We are in the midst of another spring snow.  It's wet and it's heavy and hopefully this will see the end of snow around here now.  So welcome to a wet and slushy Friday's Fave Five!  Time to reflect on the blessings God gives in our everyday lives.  Please join in as we share five of them from the last week.

~ Easter Sunday service ~ Resurrection Sunday is a pivotal date as we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead.  It is when we give glory and thanks to God for Jesus' victory over sin and death and gives us the hope of an eternal life with Him.  Sunday service was so good and it was a real blessing to gather with other believers to celebrate.  We can never take for granted that we have the freedom to do that.  So grateful.

~ Easter dinner ~ my son made it down for Easter Sunday dinner and my sis' family were to join us for turkey dinner but they ended up being sick so we invited a friend who was by herself that day.  It was nice to have her over helping us eat all that food and visiting with her for the afternoon. Monday we took dinner over Mom's supportive living home where we had booked the family dining room and my youngest daughter made it down for that lunch.  Though we missed my older daughter it was nice that my little family could have that meal with Mom.

~ good transitions ~ I had a new little fella start in dayhome today.  I was a bit worried, as always, when a new little starts.  You just never know how it will go.  He's almost 3 and the cutest little guy.  For the most part he eased in pretty well.  There were a few tears here and there but he was willing to take comfort from me for which I am thankful.  Very thankful the week went well for him.

~ hot tea on snowy nights ~ I'm a gal who loves her coffee but in order to sleep well I have to stop drinking it by mid afternoon.  Enter a nice hot, relaxing cup of herbal tea in the evenings.  My latest favorite is one my friend gave me for my birthday.  A blend of oat flower, limeflower and lavender. Very relaxing and soothing.

~ safe travels ~ with the back and forth weather, I am very thankful that both of my kids that came for Easter had safe journeys here and back again.  And I love that they txt when they arrive back home, even though they are adults, just because they know I would want to hear that they made it home safe and sound.  

What have been your blessings you are thankful for this week?
