What a great week this has been. These days before Christmas are so much fun. Yes, they are full, but full of blessings! Here are some of my favorites –
What I’m reading:
The Four Streams Bible Reading Plan
I’m almost finished reading through my Bible in a year. What a blessing it’s been to read through the “Four Streams” plan on You Version! It takes you through the New Testament four times, Proverbs four times, the Psalms twice, and the Old testament once. As mentioned here, I’ve been listening to the audio as I follow along in my Bible. That’s been a great addition!
Projects I’ve worked on…
A blanket scarf.
I bought shirting flannel for $4.50 a yard. I frayed all four sides and folded it in a triangle and tied it in the front. It’s perfect and perfectly warm! I wore it yesterday when it was in the 20’s and it kept me toasty while I was outside!
I did another scarf in a long rectangle, cutting it in half, lengthwise and putting a seam in the middle.
These were fun projects that gave me two flannel scarves for under $10!
The most surprising thing I’ve seen…
An Elf!
It’s not every day you see an elf walking down the street! If only I could’ve gotten her to come home and help with the rest of my gift wrapping! =) This was at Dollywood where we went to see the Christmas lights and the shows. Dollywood gives the Gospel in every Christmas show! It’s wonderful!
What’s been cooking in my kitchen…
Santa Munch
This is a mix of popcorn and pretzels, covered in white chocolate and M&M’s added in! Popcorn is my very favorite snack. This stuff is heaven!

Helping me wrap gifts…you know, since the elf couldn’t help!
It’s not the huge things that stand out – it’s the little blessings God allows that make the days and moments special. A special verse or chapter of Scripture, a laugh, a crafted treasure, a treat, a curious kitty. They’re all gifts from my loving Father and I thank Him for each one!
It’s also going to be a great weekend and I’m super excited about what’s planned!
What has a highlight in your week been?
Stay refreshed!
