Bountiful Blessings

Greetings in Christ ~

The Lord is good and in his mercy provides moments of grace and love despite the hectic and busyness of life. Each week I am going to make it a point to blog about the mini or big blessings from the past week. Striving to live with an attitude of gratitude and being thankful for the blessings that Christ bestows on my family. 

So here we go a few blessings from just this past week, Mr. T brought home Sushi from Lunds from their Wednesday Sushi specials so the two of us had a late supper/mini date of Sushi and Wine on Wednesday.

Last night they had date night at the church, where the church provided daycare for the kids and the parents enjoyed a potluck dinner and a talk by the deacon. Mr. T and I enjoyed the evening together as we were "out" enjoying time with other couples.

This weekend we have two family events going on in WI so we rented a hotel room in WI for the night, we will have a night with just the 5 of us and for better or for worse it will be a weekend that Mr. T will not be working on the house, except for this morning, he is hoping to put the front door in. I don't remember the last time we had a weekend together, WOW, I really don't remember. We have been blessed to have a few afternoons together. Including last weekend we spent Saturday afternoon and evening together. Including a Birthday Party, where the boys had a lot of fun with the games for the kids and I enjoyed meeting different people ones with very different views on parenting and life in general. Than we were so excited when we were able to take in the Jewel Shop at Open Window Theater with our good friends who run the non-profit theater Jeremy and Sarah Stanbury. What a wonderful play and so well done. Just last night we had a discussion with some friends who saw it, and we were both still trying to unpack the depth of it.  We always have a little bit of time together as a family each weekend usually when we go to mass together but this weekend it will very nice to have a longer period of time together. Mr. T and I need this together as a couple and the boys need time with their dad, so it will be good for our whole family.

Enjoy your weekend and all of the Bountiful Blessings that Christ bestows on you and your family.

Blessings,
Joy
