Even in the midst of another whirlwind week, I need to slow down and reflect on the blessings I have noticed blowing my way. This is one purpose of Friday Fave Fives hosted by Susanne who faithfully sets up a link so we can share our FFFs with others (thanks, Susanne!). Here are mine.
1. Our extra grandson stayed another week and we enjoyed sharing some of our favorite coffee spots with him. He has also helped me in the garden--adding compost, carrying tools, pounding in stakes. He has been a big blessing. And he loves to hike.
2. I am happy that my daughters love gardening, too. During their childhood, that wasn't so. But now, we pull weeds together, run off to the garden center together, talk about what plants are doing well.
3. The Professor surprised me by putting something in the garden center cart this week. A little gnome! I had mentioned I wanted one, and he remembered.
My new gnome needs a name!
4. Mother's Day! Both sons called and chatted with me. Both daughters and their families met up with us after church to share picnic lunch and then walk around in the park woods. Truly, I am blessed to be mother (and grandmother) to these precious people.
5. Probably, mentioning the dentist in FFFs doesn't sound quite right. But my dentist is wonderful. He understands my fears, my issues with my jaws not numbing normally, and he works with gentleness and speed. Having an expert and caring dentist is a true blessing.
I hope you have had many blessings this week, too!
