First Things

For of the following, name the first thing that comes to your mind.....

1. Two people who love you

2. Your favorite restaurant

3. The last time you laughed loud and long

4. Your favorite relaxing activity

5. What you want to be when you grow up;)

We are blessed....not just lucky, but those of us who have a shared faith; We are BLESSED! Because if you could answer the questions above....your life is pretty good. I am not saying perfect, though many of our lives are considered perfect by those in true poverty or desperate and dangerous situations.

As we celebrate freedom this weekend, I hope to remember to thank God for freely and richly blessing me. I need to remember to be thankful for those who died so that I could live freely. I hope to remind myself that I need to freely love, and share with others. I hope everyone has a safe and fabulous 4th of July!

Word of the Week

Word of the Week is going to be a little segment where I pick a word that is particularly relevent to my life currently!

This week the winner is LIST!

Yes, the list is fun, fulfilling, and fast. See below for a poetic tribute to the list.

You can have a list for everything...I often do.
Sometimes I have a list on paper of blue.

Just when you finish one list it's time for another.
Making lists is not something I learned from my mother.

I feel SO proud when my list is through.
I have kept lists for just about everything, have you?

Without my lists I don't know what would become of me.
I think I would be as useless as a shoe hanging in a tree:)
