Today was a busy day. I went to a Mary & Martha party given by two of my dear friends, picked up Skippy up at Bean's house after a week of grandpuppy sitting and then to Lowe's to look for flooring, as well as a few other things. We enjoyed the day and took advantage of this GORGEOUS weather and dined alfresco at CHECKER'S.

I am so thankful to have been able to spend most of today with these two amazing men.

Lunch date with my guys!

💓

Finding God In The Simple Things

On a morning I get to have some coffee, I like to pick a special mug. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason as to which one I pick, however, this morning I picked a mug my sister Cathy recently gave me.

I was extremely tired so I picked this one, which seemed fitting at the time. As I was making my coffee, that scene from FINDING NEMO kept playing over in my head. After putting my creamer in, I clutched my coffee and literally said out loud, MINE!!! MINE!!! MINE!!! That's how I felt about my coffee today.....don't anyone touch it, it's MINE!!! Scary thing is, I was alone.

I don't know about you, but in the total business of life and all that goes on, some days I really wonder who I am and what my purpose is. I know I'm a daughter, a wife, Mom, Nana, etc, but sometimes I feel like I should be more, like I'm not enough. Have you ever felt that way?

As I sat there this morning looking at my mug, I couldn't figure out why those words, MINE!!! MINE!!! MINE!!! kept tugging at my heart. Then a scripture I have heard so many times, resonated so deeply with me......Isaiah 43:1

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are

MINE!" .....MINE!! MINE!!

I love it how God can show us Himself and how He much

He loves us through such simple things!

Tonight we had Crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken. This recipe was very easy to make. However, next time I will make sure to add more honey to or a little bit of brown sugar!
