AN EXTRA WEEK – (Day 1 of 6)
Hi, all. I’m feeling better and I’m ready to get in some practice. 🙂
HOSPITABLE WELCOME – open your heart and home.
DON’T GRUMBLE – check your heart and mouth.
GIVE THANKS – because there is so much good in your life.
I am enjoying all the giving of thanks that comes with this season. It’s far harder to grumble when you’re busy giving thanks.
I think I will focus on hospitality and welcome today. I hope to do a bit of cleanup around my front door. I’m also looking forward to doing a little holiday decorating.
Paul pulled out all our Christmas lights and we’ll come up with something fun to do. Some years we decorate outdoor trees. This year we may do something on our new garden fence. Pictures to follow.
Where will you focus today? Where is God nudging you? Do you need to seek out someone to say thank you? Is there an area in your life where you need to fix something to reduce the desire to grumble?
Today is Giving Tuesday. It’s a day created to encourage generosity and inspire charitable giving.
After all the rush, rush and buy, buy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s nice to take time out to just … reflect and give.
My husband and I are donation supported. We are kicking off our year-end giving today. If you are thinking about sending us a year-end gift, today would be a great day.
Donations for our support are processed through The Marriage Bed, Inc. (the ministry we started 20+ years ago). US donations are tax-deductible, and all donations are greatly appreciated.
When you give to our support, you make it possible for us to write, teach, pray, encourage, mentor, coach and more. We pour our time and energy into helping couples grow their marriages, and we encourage ministries with a similar focus.
Thanks all, for your ongoing prayers and support.
