Blessings These Weeks: 06.24.2016 and 07.01.2016

Man alive, it's July already.

I don't know about you, but I feel like this summer has flown on by. I blinked, and it's nearly half over (or, if you're a glass-half-full person, we only have half of it left).

All of the sudden, the seeds I sprinkled over pots are blooming, and I wonder where the time went, anyway.



In taking a moment to notice the flower, though, in taking a a breath and giving thanks for each little thing, I find my days slowing. Becoming intentional, meaningful, filled with purpose.

That's the beauty of finding the blessing.

...   ...   ...   ...   ...




... it's a "Van"Gogh.

(Couldn't help myself). 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Great friends who come to visit (despite the ten hours it takes to do so), and don't even mind when the activity for the evening is a "tour de grocery stores." 



She's a cheerful heart who makes fun no matter where she is. I'm so excited for your new adventure!!



...   ...   ...   ...   ...

A change of plans- change for the best. And for a certain young woman who took such good care of our furry friends while we were out of town. 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Jobs that allow for vacation days, encourage time off with family, and co-workers who pick up the slack. 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...


The little tent village my family lived in for the weekend, and the lovely location of the campground! Really beautiful. 



...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Aunt Jo and her blow driers and curling irons before Mass. You think of everything-- thanks for making the chaos so much fun! 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...



An incredible weekend of celebrating an incredible couple. Happy 70th Anniversary, Grandma and Grandpa! 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Catching up with all of my maternal aunts and uncles

...   ...   ...   ...   ...



Switching shoes with sisters. 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Sharing laughs and listening to stories around Grandma's dining room table

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Safe travels and good company

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

A week of beautiful weather and awesome sunsets

...   ...   ...   ...   ...




Visiting some good friends during the week- thank you for sharing a meal, good conversation, and your hilarious little ones with us.

THIS WEEK


I wrote about celebrating my grandparent's 70th wedding anniversary, and talked about some reasons that we might be avoiding the Bible in Making Bible Time a Priority

Have an awesome week, my friends! Find those blessings!
