It is Friday and time for Fave Five

Fave Five

 On Fridays we post 5 of our blessings for the week.
 It is hosted by Suzanne.


1.  My 46th anniversary was this week and I have done a lot of reflecting on my marriage.  It has been a wonderful life, growing up with my husband.  We went from hippies, who smoked dope to Grandparents who love the Lord Jesus.  It has been a great transition but I wouldn't change any of what God has done in our life.  I love my husband more today than when I married him. One of our anniversary blessings is that 13 years ago we were blessed with our oldest grandson.  I call him my best anniversary present. And, he is.

2. We went to the Huntington Library for our Anniversary outing.

Once a month on Mondays they open the Japaneses Tea House for tours.  Only a few can go at a time and we just happened to be there at the correct time.  We had no idea they did these tours.  It was interesting learning the ins and outs of the Tea. It is very spiritual and while she made a point of saying the four main influences of the Tea she stressed that there was a 5th under-lying influence, Christianity.  I had felt God's presence even before she said it. The Huntington is one of my favorite places to visit and we never get to see the entire grounds in a day.  

3. Our first week of stay-cation has been very relaxing and fun.  We have gone to Palm Springs for lunch and thrift shopping, to see Dr. Doolittle and it was a fun, clean movie, and stayed at home several days just enjoying.  We are usually so busy that we don't get to just relax.  The rain and Corona virus, has made us a bit cautious to go out but otherwise we have had a great time so far. 

 4.  The two things on everyone's mind in CA. at this moment are rain and the Corona Virus. God has bless California with a lot of rain. We need it. No one I know has the virus.  I praise God for both. 

 5.  My oldest son got the keys to his house today.  It is a house that was built in 1939 and has an incredible view. I am very excited for him and I can't wait to see the inside.  They a lot of work to do for it to be in really good shape but they can do enough to move in and then work on the rest as they can.  God has blessed him so much and he continues to improve from his brain injury.

  On Fridays we post 5 things about the week that were a blessing. It is hosted by  Susanne at  Living to Tell the Story ~~~ This one, Titus, will be 10 soon.  He and I spend Wednesday afternoons together. He does homework, get a snack and we watch Sponge Bob or Phineas and Ferb, then we cook dinner before the rest of the family comes home.   He is so smart and cooks like he is much older. My Friday's Fave Five are: #1. See above.  I love that boy and I am so glad he is not interested yet in after school clubs.  We get to spend the time I never got when he was a baby.  His Mom worked while the two older ones were between birth and 5 years.  I got to love on them for her, but with Titus she stayed home.  I feel very blessed to have this time with him now. #2.  I had lunch with my son yesterday and he is doing so good.  God is healing him and he is now going to volunteer at the hospital.  This ...

Friday's Fave Five

  I love Fridays when I get to post my favorite five things or blessings about the week.  There are always more than five so it is sometimes hard to pick. To see others who participate go to Living to Tell the Story and click on the respondents in the comments.  Many of them participate. 1. From last Friday night to yesterday I was sick.  It was a flu and a sinus infection, but thankfully not the flu. Yesterday I got to go to my son's new house.  We were outside most of the time so I was not having to stay a long way away from my grands and son.  2.  Even though everything is shut down I am blessed to go to a church that has can post all services online.  I got to enjoy our Women Rock Bible Study online .  It was so good. 3.  I may have spent most of my vacation at home sick but I still have 4 more days that I can go do something now that I am feeling much, much better. 4.  I have some sewing to do and have been doing s...

Friday's Fave Five

  https://susannesspace.blogspot.com/   Click this link to see the host and others who participate in Friday's Fave Five.  This picture is of my dear friend Lucy who went to be with the Lord just a few days after Christmas.  In fact just a minute after learning my son was being air lifted to Loma Linda Hospital I received a call from one of the Reverends at our church telling me she has died.   Why such a sad memory on a day when I am to tell my Fave Fives of the week? 1. Friends.  I love my friends (sisters in Jesus) so much and have a wonderful week of zoom meetings where I have had the blessing of talking to many of them.  I have had text messages, phone calls, and chats on Face Book.  The best thing is that we talk of Jesus and how present He has been in our lives during this time.  Lucy was a wonderful sister in the Lord and I thought of her a bit this week.  I talked with her daughter by text and we cri...
