I know, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Though my Joys of the Week posts have become rather sporadic, I can promise you my joys have been constant! Weekends are busy, and God is good! Anyway, I have managed to carve out a little time this week to share some of my joys. I hope you’ll pop a joy or two (or more, if you have more you want to share) in the comments too!
My family has had some solid friend moments with our new-ish (it’s been a few months now!) friends from church. We have helped them and they helped us (in a very delicious way!). It’s been nice building this friendship! Our kids love playing together and it’s really nice to have a mom friend in the area (and who is also teaching her kids about Jesus!). And the best part is that we were both doing Bible in a Year before we met each other, and if you’ve done that, you know that we were praying for one another! What a heart-warming thought!
I got to catch up with an old friend of mine. I don’t see her very often, between mom-life and living far enough apart that catching up is an effort. She gave me some hand-me-downs from her kid to mine, and I helped her clean her house a bit before she had to travel. It was great to be able to be of service to one another!
Yesterday I had the chance to go and dance in the afternoon. Had some fun dances, got to see some old friends and made a couple of new friends too! It was nice to be able to get moving in the warm summer day, and friends are always a good time!
I guess this week’s joys have been very relational. And why wouldn’t relationships be joyous? After all, we were created to be in communion with others!
What have you done this week that has brought a lightness or a fullness to your heart? I truly hope you have had a great week, and can reflect on the many blessings God has brought you!
Until next time, let’s pray for each other. And remember, we can do Mom things through Christ who strengthens us!
