It’s Friday, time to look back over the blessings of the week with Susanne at Living to Tell the Story and other friends.
I’m a little late to the party – it has been a busy week! Here are some of my favorite parts of it:
1. Springy days. The weather has been just perfect this week, not too hot or too cold. It’s been rainy and windy today, but I accept that it’s gotta do that some times. 🙂
2. Longer days – or more sunlight to the day, at least. It’s rejuvenating.
3. A productive week. I won’t bore with with the to-do list, but I got some things done I needed to and some things I wanted to. Some weeks I’m not sure where the time goes, but I don’t seem to have much to show for them, so it is nice to get some things accomplished.
4. Timely arrivals. I had ordered something for Jim’s mom’s weekday caregiver’s birthday and paid a little extra for it to get here today. By mid-afternoon I realized that “today” might not mean before she left at 5. I prayed it would get here before she left but was mentally preparing myself that I’d just have to give it to her Monday after her birthday. But it came today at 4!
5. Forty years of being a Christian. It just hit me last night that this year is the 40th year since I believed on Jesus Christ as my Savior. Unfortunately I didn’t write down the exact day and I don’t remember what time of year it was, but I do know how old I was. What a blessing to have known Him and His forgiveness, love, and care for so long. My testimony is here. I encourage you, if you don’t know Him, or you’re not sure, take time to find out more about it. This link explains more about becoming a Christian.
“Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” I John 5:12
“And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” John 17:3
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Stray Thoughts 
Amen, Barbara, for forty years! What a blessing!
Yay for forty years!!! I’m not sure how long I’ve been saved but I believe since childhood (I’m 36 now). I don’t know what I’d do without my Savior!
Everyone is talking about Spring and happy about it! I am too, of course. We have rain here right now but I welcome it (it’s not snow anyway!)
Happy spiritual birthday!! I can’t imagine not doing life with our Savior redeemer! Yay for spring having sprung and rain is better than snow!!! Raining here in NY tonite. I know what you mean about getting things done around the house…always a good feeling and yay for the longer days!! Have a blessed weekend!
40 years!! Happy anniversary (or birthday)!!
We had nice and sunny weather, now it looks as if it would rain again ! Good luck with your “to do” list !
YAY to timely arrivals. 40 years! How wonderful! Guess I will always feel “at home” being a Christian despite living in a Buddhist country for sooo long now.
What a great anniversary to remember.
And finally some springy goodness along with longer days. I feel so much more productive when it’s light out 🙂
Congratulations on 40 years!!!
I like all your other ones too but #5 is the best 🙂
Congratulations on the forty years! Good for you working on your do to list–maybe the sunshine and more daylight help us be more motivated.
Happy spiritual birthday! 40 years walking with the Lord. Love that kind of testimony! I’m loving the longer days too and knocking things off my to do list always makes me happy.
