Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
My husband and I have been arguing again. You know how that goes. It’s over a topic we’ve discussed before – serving one another. The conversation went something like this:
Me – Let me do that for you.
Him – No, I already took care of it, but thank you.
Me – I can never seem to find a way to serve you: you always beat me to it! You do so much more for me than I do you.
Him – Hon, that’s not true! You do so much for me. Goodness, I couldn’t do what I do on a day without you!

We all want to spend time with our family, but we’re so busy with everything else going on in our world, how do we do it?
How do we respond when so many others need/want our moments, hours and days, yet we long for more time with our husband? More time pouring into our children? Here are some points to ponder when you consider how yo will spend your days:
Now, how will you spend TIME with your family this weekend? Perhaps you should start by asking yourself these four questions, then make decisions about what you will/should do!
Your family opportunities won’t be there forever! Grab them while you can!
Refresh your family time,
Happy November Eve! There’s a reason I’m posting a second post on this October 31! Read on!
As we stare into the beginning of this month in which we celebrate
I thought it might be a good idea to think about how we can maximize being thankful for these thirty days! It’s too easy to jump into Christmas mode and only give a nod to being grateful for all God has given us in His grace. So, let me share a few practical ways you can focus on being thankful starting today!
Let’s be intentional every single day this month to be thankful to the Lord…He is the Giver of everything and He deserves our praise!
We had our first really cold day of fall this week! It came just in time for Trunk or Treat at church, making it a fun fall activity! I made these costumes up for my husband and me. I thought since he’s my other half, it was perfect!!
Life has been so enriched with these precious little boys in our lives. They are growing and changing so much! They’re imitating…
and learning and rolling and growing…and stealing our hearts!
Fall also means Pumpkin Roll! Here was the first one of the year!
To be a part of a group of praying friends is a HUGE blessing in my life. These ladies are my prayer group. We have cried, rejoiced, laughed, and prayed so much in the last couple of years. Wow. We are rich, indeed! We got to celebrate a birthday of one of these precious gals this week. What a joy to rejoice that she is God’s gift to us as a sister in Christ, a friend, and prayer partner!
What fun activities have been a part of your week?
Do you have a group of women you pray with? I’d so encourage you to ask God to give you at least two or three!
Refresh your life this weekend in God’s house!
Fall brings some favorite things we don’t have the rest of the year. I thought I’d share some of the things I’m especially loving this fall (though they’re not all seasonally related). Look for the ARROW in the picture to see my favorite thing!
What are you enjoying this fall? A new product? A place you’ve visited? A person who’s been a blessing? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
Have a refreshing weekend as you attend a church that preaches the Word of God in Truth! Our church will be celebrating its 61st anniversary this Sunday, so it will be a special day, and I’m looking forward to it!
Lovingly,
RefreshHer
