Welcome to Friday's Fave Five and the last Faves of February. Time is just a motoring along, days are busy and it's nice to just pause and remember those things we have been blessed with in our week. These pauses have been vital over the years in helping me to be more thankful and grateful for the good things God has blessed me with. It helps me to keep my perspective when harder times come. I'm so glad you have joined in with me this week to share five of your favorite blessings from the last week.
~ chocxo passionfruit chocolates ~ Every time our local C0stco gets a different flavor of these chocolate cups I have to try it and I have really like everyone of them. This passionfruit one is no exception. Organic, way less sugar, tastes wonderful. Yes, please!
~ another learning opportunity done ~ I was able to get another learning opportunity done last week and this one I actually get reimbursed the cost and I got paid for the time. Whoo hoo. Now I've completed 3 towards the minimum of 6 that I'm required for the year.
~ "false" spring ~ after an absolutely frigid 3 weeks the warmer days that started at the end of last week have continued into this week. We are having above normal temps everyday and it's been wonderful. But living where I do, we know it's a "false spring" and we will still probably get a blast of cold and probably snow at some point. So we have been out enjoying every single day that we can. Unfortunately here in southern Alberta we also had the wicked wind today, gusting up to 110 km/hr (68.35 mph) so we made our fun indoors.
~ great discussions ~ this week at ladies study we had some great questions that prompted lots of good discussion. I love when this happens rather just sitting listening to one person talk.
~ surprise lunch ~ yesterday Hubby came home with a surprise lunch of burritos and mexi fries (tater tots). Bonus that it filled us up enough that I didn't have to cook supper.
What were your favorite blessings from the last week?

We are having a taste of spring too, but it will go back to normal this weekend. But our cold days are low 60's :) Those chocolate cups sound good. would like to try the passionfruit one. Have a nice weekend!
You are making wonderful progress on your learning! Halfway done and it's only February!
We've had unseasonably warm temperatures, too, and I love it. I know we'll get more cold weather before it's over, but I am enjoying the warmth and sunshine while I can. Great job getting half the learning opportunities done so early in the year! And what a bonus to get paid for the time and cost. I love when Bible studies provoke good discussions. I love when my husband brings home lunch or dinner, too.
These are some nice blessings Susanne!
YAY for finishing up another requirement AND getting paid for it! bonus!!
I also led a good discussion this week in my small group and EVERYONE participated. Even the quieter woman! i love when we all share our thoughts or Scriptures that jumped out at us from the chapter. The book is SO good.
My oldest girl and I buy something similar at Target called Brookside Chocolates. It's basically chocolate covered fruit like blueberries, pomegranate (my fave), etc. Yours looks yummy too! I like them due to less sugar than eating a piece of candy or a non vegan cookie.
We are having warmer temps too but next week we have 2 days of cold predicted. thankfully no major snow is predicted. Tonight i'm supposed to finally get a luminary hike in with my oldest and a good friend from another church. I can't WAIT!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of reading good books and drinking good coffee.
Same here, with early Springish weather and birds gathering, too. Sounds like good things to be thankful for. Enjoy the last day of February!
We've had a taste of spring this week, too, and I'm loving the reprieve! Trying to take advantage of it as much as possible.
I'll have to look for those chocolates at Costco. I wonder if ours carries them.
You have a great list this week. I love that your hubby is so creative with lunch ideas.
We are enjoying our false spring, too. And experiencing the strong winds. At least it's sunny today.
That dinner sounds yummy. Burritos are one of my favorites
Those good discussions are a blessing.
Happy end of February!
Hi Susanne. So glad you had a good week with so many positives. It's nice that you were able to get some education credits finished - and get paid for your time! I see you are listening to Jinger Duggar Vuolo's new book. I would love to know your thoughts when you are finished. I hope you have a great weekend. See you again soon!
Well done on completing another training requirement - and the bonus of being paid for it must come in handy. Glad you are having some "spring" weather. It's been warmer here this week. We've still had some rain but sunshine too. Have a good weekend.
Time is certainly motoring along -- so thankful you are still hosting these FFFs.
You seem ahead of schedule for your six learning opportunities. Well done!
Those chinooks sound amazing. Glad you know much better than those false spring temps!
I love those times when exchange of ideas just flow. So lovely you had great discussions at your Bible study.
