I recently posted about dressing ourselves, but you know, we should also be dressing our dinner table. Simply put, we should make the dinner table attractive. I post lots of ideas for recipes here on RefreshHer, but it’s only a means to get you to gather around your table. That’s where the connections happen. That’s where communication, love, relationships and nurturing thrive. There’s just so much to say about the gathering around the table. Since it’s so important, we should put some thought into making it welcoming. It isn’t stuffy or pretentious, but simple and inviting. How can we do that?
I love looking back over my photos on my phone at the end of the week and counting up all my blessings from the Lord. Here are five precious ones from this past week.
A “Ham-Fam” Celebration is on our calendar for next Monday! That’s what we call a Cunningham Family get-together! Here was a vacation. Here was a holiday. Everyone was invited to come for the day. Let me share some of our plans with you as we make preparations for a fun day together.
The guest list – We enjoy being together as a family, and as I said, everyone was invited, but let me stop right here and tell you about my expectations as far as my adult daughters and their families are concerned.
I’m loving Daylight Savings time! The Golden Hour in my kitchen has been so pretty this month!
My grandsons come nearly every week for Bible club. Oh, the joy to teach them of Christ! This was a lesson about the miracle at the wedding of Cana. We got to have a celebration, like the wedding feast. But our celebration was to rejoice in the fact that one of them had trusted Christ as his Savior at home that morning!!!
Then, joy of joys his brother accepted Jesus as his Savior three days later! My heart is so very full!! I’m thankful that salvation is simple enough for a little child to understand. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:14
My precious parents celebrated their 67th anniversary on the 23rd of March. How blessed we are to celebrate with them. God has given them the joy of many years, each one a gift from His hands and we are thankful!
I’m getting to help a friend with a project in her beautiful 100 year-old house and it’s been such a joy! Here’s a little peek at the work in progress. Old homes have such character and beauty!
I had the blessing of attending ladies prayer advance in Roanoke, Virginia.. It was three days of singing, praising God, having the Word of God poured into us, spending precious time in prayer, and an added blessing was time together as friends. I came home with sunshine in my soul!
This past week was spent in Kentucky with my parents. What a blessing to get to serve them during their senior years. I got to cook for them, dig in the dirt and plant pansies, take them to appointments, do some household tasks, and just spend time together with them. Precious! I also had a fun lunch date with my sister and had the opportunity to catch up! So very blessed!
We all struggle with ups and downs of life and I am certainly not immune to those. However, I want to focus my attention on my great God because he is better, sweeter and richer than anything this earth has to offer.
Tell me how you have seen God at work in your life this month!
