I thought I would share a few wonderful things today!
This morning I stayed at the school for the Character Counts Assembly at our girls' school.
Jocelyn won an award for Respect.
Trinity was on the Honor Roll.
How wonderful is that?!
Yesterday, on the very same day that I posted about the opportunity by CSN to have a giveaway on my blog, I also received an email that I won a giveaway on another site! I entered to win a
Faith Book & Box on Good Morning Girls and I did! I can't wait to hold it in my hands and start using it!
How wonderful is that?!
A few weeks ago, I read some of the challenges used to inspire our family on Women Living Well. One of the challenges was to light a candle and remind family members to say a prayer every time they see the candlelight. I loved this idea! I decided to tweak it a little to work in my home.
I have always posted up bible verses and quotes on our fridge near the water dispenser. I do this to get the kids to read encouraging words and to give us all small reminders about living better. I told everyone that each week, I will post a new prayer on the fridge for everyone to read as they fill their glasses with ice or water. This is my second week and the girls look forward to reading them! Last week the girls came up with the idea that they will read it aloud as we say our dinner prayer.
This week's prayer in case you can't read it:
Dear GOD,
Please let me live for You and not for me.
Please don’t let me be influenced by others in a
negative/bad way, but help me influence
others in a positive/good way.
negative/bad way, but help me influence
others in a positive/good way.
Help me to live how You want me to live.
In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
How wonderful it that?!
On Monday, Jocelyn and I woke up to a sky filled with Hot Air Balloons. We always see the Hot Air Balloons in our area as we drive to school, but on this particular day, there were about 9 balloons floating right over our house.
It was a beautiful sight and these Balloons will probably always give me a warm & fuzzy feeling for the rest of my life, because 2 years ago my husband proposed to me on one!
How wonderful is that?!
I am sure the week has many more wonderful things ahead
for all of us.
~Blessings
