Today was a perfect day to teach my two oldest sons how important it is to give back (as well as having a learning experience on cleaning!). We went to Yorktown Church of the Nazarene, which is a church in one of the communities that I serve. We cleaned the sanctuary, coffee bar area, and all of the windows. We have all enjoyed giving back as well as spending quality time together. What a privilege it has been to be able to do these things! My children have wondered why we are volunteering, and I told them that when we give to others, that we will be blessed by our Lord and Savior! We are feeling the blessings!! I shared with them, one of my favorite scriptures… A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.-Proverbs 17:22
Earlier this week, I spent a few hours with a good friend of mine, making freezer meals. This is something that I enjoy doing, and am always looking for extra time to fit it in to my busy life. It eliminates a lot of stress when I come home from a busy day at work and am able to prepare a healthy meal for my family in a short amount of time. So many days, my husband and I, rush home, normally taking one of my three boys to either baseball, basketball practices, or games, so it is hard to prepare healthy meals with so much going on. Thank you Lord, for allowing me so many opportunities this past month!
