Susanne at Living to Tell the Story hosts Friday’s Fave Five so we can share our favorite things from the last week. This has been a wonderful exercise in looking for and appreciating the good things God gives. Click on the button to learn more, then go to Susanne’s to read others’ faves and link up your own.
Here are some of my favorites from this week:
1. Another safe solo road trip to meet Jim in TN for another house-hunting expedition. We’ve made an offer on one — we’ll see how it goes!
2. A good realtor there who seems to really know her stuff.
3. Finding a good Christian radio station there. We have two good ones here, and when we moved away from this area before to GA, I really missed them. They both play online these days, though, so I listened to them a bit in the hotel, but flipping through stations in the car on the way back I found an affiliate of one of them there.
4. A beautiful drive. Road trips aren’t my favorite thing, even if I am not the one driving. But on many road trips on the highway, all you see is guard rails and trees. The drive between here and eastern TN is gorgeous through hills and mountains.
5. Finding my old Bible. When I drove up to TN a couple of weeks ago, somehow I grabbed my old Bible instead of my new one. After we attended church on a Wed. night that trip, I couldn’t find it, so I thought perhaps I had left it at the church. When we checked back this trip, they looked in their lost and found, but it wasn’t there. I was dismayed, because, though I have other Bibles, this was an old friend, one my husband gave me shortly after we married and which had accumulated a lot of notes over the years (I shared some flyleaf favorites from it a couple of years ago.) But when I was packing up to leave the hotel, I opened the zippered outer pocket on the suitcase to put something there — and there it was! I don’t remember putting it there. My husband says he may have. Somehow I didn’t think to check there after the last trip because I didn’t think I used that pocket. But I was just glad to see it again!
Hope you have a great Friday!
Stray Thoughts 
Yes I have driven through eastern TN and it is beautiful! 🙂 Funny how you can TOTALLY forget putting something in a suitcase or something else….BUT it is thrilling when you find it. 🙂
Oh! I’m glad to hear that you found a house you liked! Sounds like things are moving right along for you (pardon the pun)!
Hope the house offer works out! So glad you found your old Bible.
Great that you found a house you like. I hope it all works out for you as easily as possible. Glad you found your old Bible 🙂 I can feel your relief when you found it 🙂 Have a great weekend my friend 🙂
Good luck on your house offer! How nice to have a realtor you can trust. And a good Christian radio station! So glad you found your Bible. Yes, they are like an old friend. Have a great weekend!
I’m glad you found your Bible! All those notes…
Hoping and praying that the house hunting, driving back and forth and moving preparations will go well…
Glad you found a house to make an offer on. Yippee for finding your good ole Bible! May all go well with all the details of re-locating!!
Sounds like you had a really good trip, Barbara. Hope the house works out for you and that there aren’t (too many) unhappy surprises! So glad you had nice things to listen to and look at during your trip.
I hope the house deal is successful! Exciting times in your family! 🙂
How I would panic if I couldn’t find my favorite, most-used Bible — so glad you found it. Let us know how the house offer goes. Such exciting times for you.
And don’t you love a good Christian radio station? So you’re a Davis Bunn fan, too!
Have a great week ahead.
So glad you found your old Bible – I’d be the very same way. I have one that has one of those zip covers – otherwise it would be falling to bits. I’ve had it since we were in Bible College 🙂
Let us know how the house offer goes. HOpe that it works out for you.
We just got back from a road trip too – a very pretty drive through western Pa and NJ – and of course the New England states. We took our time and it was very enjoyable.
Happy weekend!
I got rid of an old bible once because it was literally falling apart. I’ve regretted it ever since. So glad you found yours.
Another step towards your move to TN. Hope everything works out with the offer.
