Wow, this week sure went by fast. I'm thankful Susanne atLiving to Tell the Story started this habit of pausing on Fridays to reflect on the blessings of the week. Here are a few of mine:
1. Mother's Day. My family does a good job making me feel special on Mother's Day. We had a mostly "man-made" meal, though Mittu said she and Timothy helped with the dessert. Jim grilled his trademark teriyaki chicken, Jesse made homemade baked macaroni and cheese, and Jason made Chocolate Pretzel Pie. Jim and Jesse worked together on corn on the cob. It was all so good! I didn't get a picture of the whole dinner, but here's the dessert:
2. Hanging baskets. Jim traditionally gets the baskets of flowers that hang outside the front door, the kitchen windows, and "office" windows for Mother's Day if I have not gotten them beforehand. I love seeing flowers outside most of the windows.
3. Front door decoration. I finally traded out my spring tulips for a different look. I had this container up before, but the flowers had gotten mildewed. I had more but just got around to replacing them. This hangs beside, rather than on, our door because the door has an oval glass insert.
4. An unscheduled week. It was nice to have nothing on the schedule this week after Sunday and nothing that had to be done besides the regular everyday stuff.
5. A special answer to prayer. I can't discuss the details, but it was wonderful to see God intervene, in answer to my husband's prayer, in a situation that, humanly, looked very much like it would go a different direction.
