Welcome to a very frosty Friday. I don't know what it's like where you are but winter has arrived with a bang here in my neck of the woods. Very cold and snowing. But even though the weather isn't what I would prefer there is still lots of blessings to find and be thankful for. Please join in as we develop the habit of noticing blessings God sends our way and pausing to be grateful, not just once a year but as a lifestyle.
~ personal OCC gifts packed with love and prayer ~ I finished the last minute shopping and put together my shoebox gift finishing them off with a prayer. I so enjoyed putting them together and memories of when I went to Costa Rica to help distribute shoebox gifts to children really spurred me on to challenge myself to do extra boxes this year. So much fun.
~ church shoe boxes collected ~ Sunday was collection day for the shoebox gifts at my church. The last few years we've been hovering around a total of 65 boxes packed by our church members. This year so far the count has come in at 92! So thankful for everyone who participated! I know it was a sacrifice for some.
~ new bed ~ Hubby and I bit the bullet and finally went out and got a new bed. We decided this was our Christmas present to each other. So worth it. And we got a decent price. So double blessing.
~ celebrating hubby ~ Yesterday was Hubby's birthday. The kids contacted him in various ways to wish him a Happy Birthday and sent some fun gifts. I got him a vitamix blender he's been wanting for years and took him out for a nice dinner to a favorite Italian restaurant.
~ tiramisu ~ one of my favorite desserts ever! Because it was his birthday it was compliments of the restaurant. He was gracious enough to share it with me. Yum!!
What have been your favorite blessings of the last week?
