Happy Day Project

I am a list lover. I do my meal planning with a calendar, I do my grocery shopping with a list, I read the Bible according to a plan...you get the idea. I also enjoy an opportunity to bless someone with just little preparation and planning on my part. Welcome to the Happy Day Project!





Joy is hosting a fun project over on her blog. Every day this week will be a small challenge to spread some happiness and joy. What a wonderful way to lead up to the holidays!


Today's project is to treat a neighbor. There is a new girl in town. She has 3 small children and just started coming to our church. Even though she has family and friends in town I thought I would bring her a little treat this afternoon. I remember having lots of little ones around and people assuming that since my family was here I never needed any help or encouragement as a mom and wife. Technically she is not my neighbor - she lives several blocks away. But from Sunday School I have taught that really everyone is our neighbor.

Have a great day and spread some happiness!

Let's try this again

I am hoping that jumping back on the blog wagon is like riding a bicycle. That I can jump back on and take off. I have contemplated starting a new blog with a specific new purpose but decided to just start back up where I am at now.
That is what I have been learning with the Lord. To do what I can with what I have. Enjoy the here and now and not always be looking in the future for an easier or more convienent time. In always looking for something else I am afraid that I have missed a lot of what was intended to bless me. Change me. Mold me. Define me.
So this space will be just that. Simple thoughts from a simple woman trying to live the life that has been given to her.
