Hi everyone! Welcome to Friday and Friday's Fave Five. We are stopping to take a pause in our busy day to day and remember to look for, find and be grateful to God for all the blessings, big and small that He has brought into our lives. This week has been draining for me with a major flare up of knee pain and issues so I am thankful I have this reminder to take some time to remember and enjoy and be thankful for the good things. I find that if I don't take time for this I can feel like I'm drowning in the negative things that have tried to hijack my week. There is so much to be thankful for if we only take the time to find the blessings even in the harder weeks or days. Please join us if you in developing a habit of seeing blessings, being thankful and grateful to God being our go to way of life. If this is your first time, guidelines for the Friday's Fave Five are here.
So a little housekeeping before we start our FFF. Over the last weeks I have not been able to respond as I usually do to some of your comments directly through email by hitting the reply button when your comment comes into my email. It pings back as undeliverable because the address is -no reply-. This is happening for people that I have replyed to for years and have never had a problem with before. This is what I get when I ask google:
Did any of your blogs get re-set to "no-reply?" I really miss conversing back and forth with those of you whom I used to email back & forth with even if occasionally. For a couple of you I have your email address and so when I get the no reply, I can put in your address but for most of you I don't.
Okay on to looking for our blessings from the last week and choosing five to share.
~ celebrating Hubby ~ On Father's Day 2 of the kids made it home to be with him on Father's Day and for this I am very thankful. Just them making that effort is such a blessing. We went for a bike ride, and enjoyed a lunch of their Dad's choosing. We missed the oldest but she is 6 1/2 hours away so it's hard t0 just come for a weekend but Hubby enjoyed a phone call from her.
~ no broken bones ~ so I had my first ever bone density test a few months ago and it came back that I have a very low chance of breaking any bones in the next 5 years. Yay! But trust me to put it to the test on our bike ride by falling off my bike for the first time since I've been a kid. I misjudged the curb and took a tumble onto concrete. So thankful nothing broke and I rode away with only a couple small bruises. The thing most hurt was my pride because of course it happened at a very busy corner with four lanes of cars all stopped and waiting for the pedestrian light which we missed because of my topple.
~ halpful little ones ~ this week my knee flared up and Wednesday found me barely able to walk and in lots of pain. The little dayhome kids were so helpful because they knew I was hurting. So thankful for their sweet hearts in being caring.
~ a house with spare bedrooms ~ very thankful we have a spare room with a double bed in it so I could stretch out the way I had to in order to relieve pressure on my knee so I could sleep.
~ advil and pain meds ~ I avoid them as much as I can but this week I am thankful for access to advil, pain meds and creams. Don't know what I would have done without them.
What were your favorite blessings this week? If you have done a Friday's Fave Five post please link up below so we can visit with you. A reminder to please link your actual FFF post and not your homepage so that your FFF is easy to find. Have a great weekend!
