Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
A couple days before all the twinkling lights were removed, the evergreen boughs were swept up off the floor, the empty cookie tins were cleaned of their crumbs, and the gifts were neatly put in their rightful spots, a picture was taken and linked to my blog showing my family in the middle of our Christmas festivities. It revealed genuinely Continue reading “When Your Holly’s Not So Jolly”
Remember the Disney song, When you Wish Upon a Star? The song tells us that when you wish on a star, your dreams come true. It’s cute for a Disney movie, but if that was a reality we’d all be driving brand new automobiles. I just checked and my 2005 Jeep is still Continue reading “Suggestions for Books, Journals, Planners and More!”
2019, Here We Come!!
There are a ton of questions we could ask ourselves as we approach a new year. Some of the old standard questions are still excellent ones, but I’ve been pondering just two in the last couple of weeks. Ready?
I think those two simple questions will really encompass all those other goals, needs, and relationships we want to make better this coming year. It covers the priorities and the people we love, as well as the habits and idols we need to rid from our lives.
When I asked myself those two questions, here’s what pierced my heart ~
What do I wish I had done more of in 2018?
What do I wish I had done less of in 2018?
Both lists have other bullets, but these are the crucial ones, ones I’m taking to the Lord in prayer as I begin a new year. One prayer I repeat over and over is,
Lord, I want my life to count for You.
I believe if I do more of what’s right and less of what’s keeping me idle, my life can count for Christ.
Oh that I may say like Paul, For me to live is Christ… Philippians 1:21
So, how would you answer those two questions? Perhaps they can guide you as you ponder how the Lord would want you to live this next year as He grants us the breath to do so. James 4:15
Refresh yourself in this new year!
Hi Friends! I pray you’ve had a wonderful Christmas and are still reveling in God’s grace gift of His Son. I’m still chilling over here and enjoying a little rest before the new year happens!
Whitney at Come Home for Comfort posted a great recap of our Christmas complete with great photos of our time and all the food we shared. If you’re interested you can go here to see it all! She did a great job capturing the spirit of our time together!
I’ll be back next week with some of my own photos of Christmas, goals and new ideas to hopefully refresh 2019!
See you soon!
In just a few short days I will be hosting our family Christmas here at our home. I have plans, a freezer full of prepped food, and anticipation about our time together, but I’m remembering that things don’t always go as planned.
I remember the Christmas years ago, when I had prepared and planned for my parents, Continue reading “The Only Way To Have the Best Christmas Ever”
