Homemaking Tip for this week:
Clean the grill after every use. That way when you are ready to grill you don't have to stop and clean it.
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
Mandy had a great post about finding striving for a joyful life.
Favorite photo from last week:
Lesson learned the past few days:
Yesterday morning our pastor was talking about how having a simple life is not necessary about slowing down. He said sometimes it is about priorities. He went on to say that prayer and time in God's word should be a top priority. It really has me thinking. I guess the lesson I am taking away is that if I put God as my top priority then all else will fall into place.
On my Prayer List:
My husband and daughter
My niece to be, Faith
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Wendi, I SO agree that putting God first allows everything else to fall into place. I think sometimes we (at least I know I do!) put too much effort in trying to make sure we live a "simple life" that we end up stressed about it and that totally defeats the purpose!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great reminder today my friend! And thanks for mentioning my post, I'm glad people enjoy some of my thoughts!
Hope you had a wonderful Monday!
ReplyDeletePrecious picture too.
