It's Friday and we're back to share our favorite blessings of the week. If it's a great week, it's easy to come up with things to be thankful for. But if it's been a most ordinary week, sometimes we have to look a little harder to take note and if the week has just been tough even the effort to do so might seem out of reach. But if we develop the intentional habit of doing so then when those hard or uneventful weeks come we can still have hearts of gratitude. We see things differently and what seems to be such a small thing is in our new perspective small miracles. Please join in as we develop eyes that notice our blessings and hearts of gratitude.
~ more good days than hard ones with my knee ~ Praise God, my knee injury seems to be improving. I still have some days where it's sore and tired but I haven't had any actual pain episodes all week. Yesterday I was able to go for a decent walk and still have it feeling good. Stairs are still a challenge as is sitting in a chair with it bent for long periods, but I'm not getting the crazy pain with certain movements. The good days with it are starting to outweigh the bad. Hey, maybe it'll be totally cleared up by the time the knee injury clinic actually gives me a call for an appointment. 🤔🙄
~ Tux, the furball who needs his walks ~ I'm thankful for my dog who has got me out the door for walks. Some days I was only able to make it around the school yard across the street and some days I could go a few blocks and yesterday was about 10 blocks. If it wasn't for him, I'd be more tempted to put my feet up after work. But he has got me out the door. I'm sure the movement has helped with my knee. I'm not walking as fast or as far but for both him and me, something is better than nothing.
~ gorgeous morning sky ~ this was a gorgeous morning sky I got to witness. Unfortunately around here the old saying "Red sky in morning: sailor's warning" rings true as we've had insane wind all week. But I'll be thankful for eyes to see the beauty before it literally blew away.
~ spring time treat ~ I try not to buy chocolates as a rule but I do like the occasional treat of a Lindor Truffle. And springtime brings out the pistachio flavor which is one of my favorites. Marshal's ( (Canada's T.J.Maxx) gets them in and for less money than anywhere else so how can one say no?
~ great Sunday service ~ Sunday's message was so good and really spoke to me. I'm so glad to be back at church after missing most of February. Watching online is nice, but being there and getting to connect with others is what makes church special for me.
What were your favorite blessings from the week?
