Friday Fave Five

sempie Mayıs 11, 2022

The past two weeks have been busy and exhausting, but I am happy to have a few minutes this afternoon to join Susanne at Living to Tell the Story for a great end of the week tradition that reminds us how much we have to be thankful for!

These are some of the the things I am thankful for as this week winds down...

It has been a busy, yet productive week at school. I can actually see the surface of my desk! I got one big project finished and have managed to stay on top of grading and lesson plans, so the semester is going well so far. I also have some great classes filled with some really nice students and I am grateful for that.

I have had the time and opportunity to do a little baking. I had been craving some oatmeal cookies and decided to bake some since were were having company for dinner.

Our dinner guests were these two gentlemen - the Mormon missionaries serving in our area. Since my own son is now serving a mission, I feel a little closer to him when I get to feed the elders!

We have had some lovely sunsets this past week. I love sunsets. They are among my favorite things in the world - a beautiful to end the day.

I was able to spend some peaceful prayer and worship time at the Gilbert Temple tonight. My time there gave me calm assurance and helped me put everything that has been going on into perspective.

Calm assurance and perspective were just what I needed tonight, because the past couple of weeks have not only been busy, they have been down right stressful at times. Ultimately, however, I am choosing to focus on the many, many blessings I have. Gratitude is a favorite of every week.
