Just recently, I asked you what kinds of posts you would like to see more of in 2014. The resounding answer was recipes, specifically crock pot and freezer meals. Those will be coming right up! I was also happy to see that many of you want more inspirational posts. Those are some of my favorite ones to write! It seems that every time I write one, I feel a renewed energy to try harder and do better. I need that, so thanks for asking for MORE of them. Since the New Year is always a time to reflect on my life, how I’m doing, and what I can do better. I wanted to share with you something that recently taught me a powerful lesson.
Serving Others ~ December 2013 Inspiration
Happy Sunday. I wanted to share a lovely video with you. A story of people giving up their time to serve others. And, not just ANY time… they gave up their Christmas. Serving others really is one of the greatest things ever. Not only does it help someone else, but it help you. It’s like magic. It helps you be happier, to love more, love deeper, and it is a perfect gift for Christ.
Everyone is Special ~ November 2013 Inspiration
Happy Sunday!!
I just finished reading a wonderful book to my kids. Have you heard of the book, Wonder by R.J. Palacio? I really had no idea what to expect from it, just that it must be good, with thousands of five-star reviews. Turns out, we loved it too! It’s the story of a young boy, with a serious facial deformity. He has avoided public schools, up until the 5th grade, when he hesitantly decides he’s ready to give it a shot. As expected, there are some rough moments for him, and some moments that are downright horrible. But, the book is filled with tender moments and great examples of love.
Our Beautiful Earth
One of my favorite things about Utah is being able to experience all four seasons. Every August, I’m completely burned out on summer craziness and just want to chill. Welcome, Fall. It makes me want to stay home, cook yummy food, and just relax. Then I start getting a little overly anxious for Christmas and using the fireplace. Utah is usually pretty happy to dump a pile of beautiful fluffy snow on the ground. For me, Christmas needs snow. But soon enough, the snow starts to turn to slush and everything looks dead, dirty, and depressing… UNTIL the leaves start popping up on the trees, our creek runs higher with the snow run-off, and the birds return to build their nests. I love it! Everything feels fresh and happy in the spring. With the new life all around us, the kids and I start itching to wrap up the school year and play, play, play! And, we do. All. Summer. Long. …and, then I’m tired, longing for structure, and some cooler weather. Repeat, every year. It’s fun. Every season excites me.
