So I forgot to write a Thankful Thursday post yesterday… But I really do want to get back into the habit of blogging so that you far-away-friends still get news about what I’m up to. So I’m writing it anyway, a day late.
Unexpected flowers
But they weren’t from J! On Saturday we went to a friend’s birthday party. She had planned to have a picnic outside on our community lawn but it had rained a lot in the days previous so she decided to reduce the number (family celebrations could happen another time) and move it indoors. So we had a picnic inside her house! She had decorated the living room with lots of bunches of flowers and told us all that we could take some home with us (she had so many that she let me take two bunches!). I love how flowers easily brighten up a room, so it has been lovely to have some in our house. Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of mine before some of them died so here’s a similar picture.
Sharing friends’ joy
We have some friends who are struggling with life at the moment. I’m not going to go into any details because that’s their business. Recently they have experienced a blessing from God, an opened door to ease some of their struggles. It has been wonderful to see their joy knowing the contrast with their sadness. I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for someone else before and it’s such a wonderful thing to be able to share their joy.
Easy love
J has had (and continues to have) a very busy week this week. I’ve ended up doing the dishes by myself a couple of times. But he loves it, and it’s such an easy way to love him! J hates a messy kitchen, it really stresses him out and he’s so thankful when he comes home to see the kitchen clean. So I’m thankful that he is easy to love in this way, and that I enjoy doing it for him.
What are you thankful for this week?
