Multitude Monday

-

God is good all the time.  Do you believe that?  I do!  I know I've seen His kindness to me many ways in the past week.

Isaiah 63:7 (NIV) ~

I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord,
the deeds for which he is to be praised,
according to all the Lord has done for us—...
yes, the many good things
he has done for Israel,
according to his compassion and many kindnesses.

This week I'm thankful for blessings #2571 - 2584.

2571.  In the midst of a crazy week, I felt relaxed and rested.

2572.  All the last minute details of our church's fall festival came together.

2573.  Nathan met with his job coach and will have weekly meetings to help him find a new job, as well as get the assistance he needs.

2574.  I had a large number of volunteers show up on Saturday to help.

2575.  Saturday turned out to be a wonderful day with no rain, many visitors and lots of fun.



2576.  I prayed all week that it wouldn't rain and it didn't.  I never thought to pray about no snow.  Thankful that the Lord didn't allow this to happen until Sunday!


2577.  Being able to meet a friend for lunch last week and offer her some advice and help in a situation.

2578.  A beautiful worship service yesterday with a joyful spirit.

2579.  New children in church as a result of the fall festival.

2580.  A relaxing Sunday afternoon.

2581.  Beautiful flowers.


2582.  Being able to minister to a friend in the midst of a crisis situation.

2583.  Time to reconnect with my husband.

and finally...

2584.  The kindnesses of the Lord.

    Snow, Terri? I cannot believe it! We are still enjoying a bit of pale Autumn sun.

      It was definitely early. It's all melted now and hopefully won't be back for a few more weeks!

Choosing Not to Kick the Cat

The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long. The man then came home and snapped at his wife. His wife, in turn, yelled at their son for a small infraction because she was upset. The son was now hurt by his mom and pushed his little sister. She, being the youngest, turns around and kicks the cat! Zig talked about making a different choice by not allowing others bad behaviors and moods cause you to respond in the

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost
