The last Friday of February–the end of a busy month. I’m pausing with Susanne at Living to Tell the Story to be grateful for the large and small blessings of the week.

1. My daughter-in-law’s birthday.

It’s a joy to celebrate her on her special day. Jason and Timothy made the heart-shaped brownie with frosting and sprinkles. Timothy is so tall now, we had to ask him to stoop down to be in the picture. 🙂

2. Good cardiology visit with the PA. This was just a follow-up two weeks after starting the new medication to see how it was doing. It seems to be fine so far.

3. An impromptu dinner date. My appointment was mid-afternoon, and by the time we headed home, it was almost dinner time. I suggested eating dinner at Texas Road House, even though it was a little early. As always, the food was so good there. My only complaint about this restaurant is that it is noisy, but it was a little less so this time. I had grilled pork chops, baked potato, and a salad, with enough for lunch for leftovers the next day. And their rolls and cinnamon butter were wonderful.

4. Great Bible studies. My friend Melanie suggested doing some type of Bible study together. We decided to go through Jen Wilkin’s None Like Him: 10 Reasons God Is Different From Us and Why That’s a Good Thing. This book is about the attributes only God has–infinitude, omniscience, etc. I had read it a few years ago and knew I wanted to read it again some time. It brings so much more out of the reading to discuss it with someone. It’s not laid out like a fill-in-the-blank Bible study, but it does have a few discussion questions at the end.

Then our ladies Bible study is using True Woman 201: Interior Design: Ten Elements of Biblical Womanhood by Mary Kassian and Nancy Leigh DeMoss (now Wolgemuth). We usually study a book of the Bible, but for various reasons decided to do a topical one this time. I had read this book about ten years ago and kind of felt like I didn’t really need to go through it again. But it’s been beneficial. There are several younger women attending who haven’t been in our Bible study before (at least since I have been there), and I have been so encouraged by their comments and insights.

5. Chick-Fil-A biscuit. I had a bad bout of food poisoning after eating food from Chick-Fil-A a year or two ago and haven’t had the stomach to eat much from there since. It had to have been a fluke, because we used to get food from there regularly. But I just didn’t have an appetite for them any more. Jim was out early one morning and texted to ask about bringing Chick-Fil-A breakfast biscuits home since he was near them. It was good!

Have you had a good last week of February?
