Monday Musings ... Bridal Shower

"A picture-perfect day for our picture-perfect bride."

What a beautiful bridal shower! I love that there was such attention to detail. Each friend had such a special connection to this lovely bride to be. 

 

Gracious

 The LORD bless you

and keep you;

The LORD make his face shine upon 

you

and be gracious to you;

the LORD turn his face toward you

and give you peace.

Numbers 6: 24 - 26

Saturday pleasures

 

"One daffodil is worth a thousands pleasures,  then one is too few." 

William Wordsworth 

Monday Musings ... choose wisely

 "You are steward 

of every moment, 

of every talent, 

of every gift, 

of every resource 

that God

has given you. 

Choose wisely

what you do today!"

Paul Washer

Love ... every day

"Love one another deeply 

as brothers and sisters.

Take the lead in honoring one another." 

Romans 12:10 (CSB) 

Monday Musings ... jury duty

 "Serving jury duty is a fascinating little slice of life, with its motley crew of personalities." 

Nina Garcia 

Visual a group of potential jury members waiting outside a courtroom on Monday morning. Today, you see an interesting  group of folks. You might see individuals who are scrolling on their phones, reading books, looking at iPads, sitting on benches, and talking on their phones. From a casual observations, I would guess the people  range in age from their twenties to sixties. 

If you were to listen to some of their  conversations, you would hear  how to trust Jesus as your Savior, how to get connected to people who will help you in church, school, and the trades. It was an interesting Monday morning. 

All the people waiting outside of the courtroom were eventually dismissed. The court case was dismissed. 

Here are portraits of some of the former judges that served in this courtroom. These distinguished judges served our community with honor. Each potential juror has the opportunity to serve with honor as well. 

Have you served on a jury? Serving is an important civic duty. 

Am I trying to please people?

 

Friendship Friday ... Old or Young

 "We need old friends to help 

us grow old

and young friends

to help us to stay young."

Letty Cottin Pogrebin 

My friend's name means peace in Spanish. She is more than peaceful. She exhibits joy in living. She has a ready smile, an encouraging word, and sweet advice on quilting. My friend is amazing. 

Flowers

 

"Flowers don't tell, 

they show."

Monday Musings... getting ready for company

 Years ago, I would be the person who would become unhinged preparing for company. It was crazy. There was little or no joy in all of the preparation.

Looking back, I know what was going on. I was striving for perfection.  Perfection is not possible. My children were weary. I was frustrated.  My husband... 

Now, I don't strive for perfection. I enjoy the anticipation of preparing to be with friends. I plan the cleaning, do advance work, plan the menu, cook, and prepare to have fun. 

What do you do? 

Friendship Friday

What makes for a great afternoon with friends?  Tea, sweet treats and  laughter

Thrifty Thursday

 "Money never made a man happy yet
