Joys of the Week: August 6-12

Well, here we are at another Sunday. Time to look back on last week and exercise some gratitude! I’ll start.

I had another pop-in visit from my husband during his workday this week! It was brief but lovely. On the same day, I’m sure there was something else really lovely he did and I mentioned it making my joys of the week, but Mom brain is getting the better of me and I cannot remember what it was. So… suffice to say, I’m grateful for my husband. He brings many joys.

We had some lovely weather late in the week, so I was able to go to the park with my kiddo a few times. It was so nice to see all the interactions with other kids. One parent who we met while at the park gifted us a ball, as well. We live in a wonderful neighbourhood and I have much to be grateful for here!

The last joy I will write about today is our family outing yesterday. We were able to go and play disc golf as a family! Well, more accurately, my husband played, I threw a few discs but terribly, and the kid walked around a little bit, picking up rocks, sticks, pine cones, and acorns. It was a great day out together, we were able to enjoy nature and as a bonus, it was on the grounds of a formerly Catholic school (there are lots of those around here), where they kept a few statues as well as the burial place of some brothers who presumably lived there and possibly served at the school(?), so we were able to say a few prayers – I think it’s the first time my kid heard the “eternal rest grant unto them…” prayer.

I’d love to hear your joys if you’ll share them in the comments!

Until next time, let’s pray for one another. And remember, we can do Mom things through Christ who strengthens us!
