Leaves of Gold

I've been in s little bit of a funk this week. 😕  Vacillating between discouragement and elation. But then that's pretty much me, I guess.

Here's some good from the week.

Sunday I drove Mikayla back to Houghton, which made me sad but we had some great quality time on the drive and she was excited to show me her townhouse now that they are all settled in.  Thanksgiving is soon and I can't wait to have her home again!

This quote was from Jesus Calling this week-
       "Let My gold-tinged Love was over you and soak into the depths of your being." (Oct. 23, pg 310)

I just love this because it embodies fall so much for me- I love the way sunlight seems to turn everything to gold in the fall.  And now it reminds me of God's love too.  All my devo's this week have been pretty great....if only I cold stay at my table longer.  Morning feels so fleeting and then the day at work sooooooooo long.

I went for a pretty sweet run the other night.  It made me so happy.

I'm aiming for 10 miles tomorrow. The Syracuse Half is just TWO weeks away! I can not believe it!

I did this LIVE video in a party group this week. Pampered Chef makes me soooo happy!

Live a Life of Love

Sometimes in this life we have to deal with difficult people. The trick is to not let the bitterness poison our own outlook but to choose to live and walk in love and joy. You never know how your simple smile and calm, kind words may affect someone.

Words are powerful, you can use them to tear down or to spread life and light.  This past week one of my devotions took me to Ephesians 4:29-32.  A familiar passage, yet one I very much needed that day.

• Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth but only what is helpful for building others up
• Get rid of all bitterness, anger & rage
• Be kind and compassionate
• Forgiving one another
• And live a life of LOVE

Again I have purposed to look at my response.  I can't control how anyone else treats me.  I can only control my own actions.  To seek to speak Life and Love. To let His love shine through all I do.

Last night I had the privilege of helping out with a teen event.   The teens are raising money for to go to Chambers Camp this summer.  We put on a spaghetti Sweetheart's Dinner last night at the Church.  I was behind the scenes in the kitchen. We had a great time. We have such a wonderful bunch of kids there.  I am blessed to know them, and to hopefully to play a part in their lives as well.

Life is so precious. Don't take it for granted. Hug your children, kiss your husband. Live each day to the fullest.
