It is more blessed to give...
This road is a road less traveled...
Life is filled with many back roads, some have had the most
amazing things to see and discover!
We just had the privilege to have our dear friends Lydia And Stanley;
Lydia@ Home Living Blog

Came for a few days to visit our home and stomping grounds.
I tried to get a picture of us girls together,
But the camera was not going to do us any favors.
(Smiles)
My plan is to get into my Fall mode of shorter days.
Getting outside for a walk even if the weather is not perfect.
Spending more time in the early mornings, praying and reading the Word!
Using the crockpot for those easy, delicious dinners!
Watching more sweet movies that make me happy and cry!
Writing more emails and letters to those I miss!
Being kind to myself
Being more aware of what is the better choice in foods and company!
And to remind myself to create something beautiful every day!
And giving myself the freedom to rest and relax!
Remember so many are stressed and are living with the
consequences of making bad choices;
But I truly believe we all just want to be loved...
Life can be so very hard!
Just think, If we did not have all these trials we would be bored!
Hold Steady
Remember when you have done all you can do;
STAND...
Hope some of you tried making that creamy Pumpkin Soup,
Because it is super delicious!
May each of you be strong and courageous!
Much Love, Because the love of Christ compels me.
Hugs, Roxy

I think you are smart to do something lovely every day and seek to destress your life. Lovely photo of you and your friend, too. xo Diana

It's a great reminder so slow down, enjoy and ponder these moments and days.

ReplyDeleteSo true. I would be bored without trials. And I wouldn't being growing in Jesus! Thank you for your blog. From a young mum.
ReplyDeleteI agree Roxy. We should all try to enjoy the small things too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that the Shermans were able to visit. I'm sure you all had a good time.
Hope you are recovering from your surgery.

Linda
What a nice visit you must have had...sweet picture of the two of you! I like the ideas that you shared here. :)
ReplyDeleteSlow down, recognizing and acknowledging God in all we do and all we are. Fall gives many opportunities to do just this.

I made the pumpkin soup in a single serve size. Very satisfying. Nice photo of you two. Alexine in Maryland
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Autumn days are going to be comfy and cozy at your house.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of you and Lydia. I knew you were blessed to have such a sweet guest for a visit.
Stay cozy and warm.....it's freezing out here!!
Hugs from Shirley
Great post Roxy. I loved everything you said. IT is what I love to so in the cooler and shorter day months.
ReplyDeleteI have not made the soup yet but am looking forward to it. Your list today is a good formula for daily life! I brought home so many good ideas from you. It keeps me from travel lag and feeling down now that I face the work back home. Travel is delightful because you don't have to do any home work! It is nice to get stimulating ideas from a friend. I just bought a candle called Maple Butter Cream. I was looking for Pumpkin Maple but no such thing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Thank you for the encouraging words. You are right, many are stressed and going through trials. As I have gotten older, I see so much that we miss when we are only looking at the present. God has given me so many blessings, and I often forget to be grateful for His daily mercies.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to share such a special visit from Lydia and her husband! It truly does the heart good to spend time with friends and share fun, laughter and good memories together. Fall seems to pass oh so quickly! Our fall leaves are gone here, and now most everything is barren and brown. Such is the season as we prepare for winter. I am enjoying the cozy days inside sipping a cup of hot tea. There are lovely things to look forward to with each season. Blessings and hugs :)
