Hello from a very very frigid Ohio. How has your December days been so far?
It is Friday evening. I am posting my Friday Fave Fives from a town north of my home where I am enjoying a quiet(ish) weekend with my older daughter. Here are the blessings I am sharing from this past week.
1. This may sound boring, but I have been thankful all week for a warm home. An efficient furnace that works hard to heat the house.
2. Another boring thing. I am thankful for warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. We had almost five inches of snow accumulation this week. What would I do without adequately warm clothes?
3. The Professor and I were invited to join several other people in an Advent activity every Monday evening. It includes a simple meal of soup and bread. Then we sing Advent and Christmas songs and our host reads an Advent devotional. We have done this other years and thoroughly enjoy it.
4. Yesterday my Bible Study group (BSF) visited a local nursing home and rehab center. We brought lots of Christmas yummies-- all kinds of cookies and candies. We sang several Christmas carols and then spend some time chatting with the residents. I think it was as big a blessing to me as it might have been for the people who live or work there.
5. Lastly, I am thankful for my daughter inviting me to spend the weekend with her at a lovely bed and breakfast inn. She is dancing again in Nutcracker ballet. I brought books and yarn. I think this weekend away is going to be wonderful.
