Day 213 - Wisdom

This verse seemed so fitting for me tonight. As I've been watching the Olympics as much as possible over the last four days, it's obvious that everyone is striving for the gold. I've seen many tears already due to only receiving silver.

Tonight in our small group, we discussed wisdom. Sometimes wisdom seems more elusive than the gold medal in the Olympics! And yet how much more valuable wisdom is than gold or silver. So thankful for the bits of wisdom God has given to me... and praying for more!

Day 212 - Icees

 

We stopped by Target today for a few things, and Roy wanted to make me smile. So he bought me an Icee. These are one of my favorite treats that I don't get very often. It was super yummy. I didn't have my camera, so I took a picture with my phone. Can you tell I don't have a smartphone? Yeah. :) It's ok. I'm still thankful for my Icee.

Day 211 - M&Ms

What better to do with a big bag of M&Ms than make M&M cookies!?! :) Love these colorful candies!

Day 210 - The Sun

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; 

No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Psalm 84.11

The sun gives light. Warmth. Just a glimmer of its light penetrates the darkness and makes it disappear. It's blazing. Bright. Overwhelming. Beautiful.

Day 209 - The Olympics

Watching the Opening Ceremonies. I honestly enjoy the events way more, but it was cool to see the countries and the torch lighting! Excited that another Olympics is here, and I can actually watch some of it! I can't remember the last time I was able to watch the Olympics!

Day 208 - Kisses

We bought this cute little wall hanging on our anniversary trip to Nashville, Indiana this June. We are looking forward to hanging it somewhere prominent when we get our own place to remind us each day and night to show each other how much we love each other with a kiss. It's already become a saying we enjoy using!

Day 207 - Christmas Countdowns

Happy Five Months 'til Christmas!!!

Before you think I'm crazy, let me explain. In my family, my mom and I have a contest each month on the 25th to see who can wish the other person a "happy ____ months 'til Christmas" before the other person does. Today, we woke up to find this cake on the counter! It's just a fun thing we enjoy together, and it makes me excited to think how soon Christmas will be here! That means Thanksgiving is only FOUR months away!!! :)
