Friday Date night idea

Go to a hockey game 

we are big hockey fans. I am a Boston bruins Fan, he is a Winnipeg Jets fan so it is quite the rivalry when they are both playing each other. 

Hockey is a great sport to hang out and watch together. 

And Still She Laughs

Kate Merrick examines the Bible’s gritty stories of resilient women as well as her own experience of losing a child—a journey followed by more than a million on her beloved blog, prayfordaisy.com—to reveal the reality of surprising joy and deep hope even in the midst of heartache.

Merrick digs deep into the fact that our culture equates being loved by God by being blessed by Him by receiving the life we ask for. It's the type of thinking that leads so many people to discontentment, and sadly leads people astray from God Himself. If our lives are rough we must not be loved by Him, if our prayers aren't answered in our ways we must not be blessed. While in reality the Bible points out that we must "take up our cross daily" and that the path of a Christian is narrow and hard but that the rewards are worth it. THIS is what Merrick comes to realize while searching the Bible and stories of hardship and pain.

This is the perfect book for the busy wife and mom, read it in the morning while your kids are eating breakfast or take 5 mins on your lunch break and study it. 

I have always loved devotional books and for each phase of my life, Sheila walsh pulls out all the stops on this one and I seriously did not want each day to end, I wanted to read more and more. 

6 things Mandy Taught me

My dear sweet friend Mandy went home to be with Jesus on Tuesday, March 21, 2017, as a result of a horrible house fire. 

I was on Facebook and I started reading a post and I am like I know this person, she looks familiar, I was not looking clearly so early in the morning... then I realized this was my friend Mandy and her husband and 2 babies passed away. Her oldest two babies and her mother in law was able to escape the house fire.

The story

My dearest Mandy, ( author of Worshipful Living )
I am not sure these words are adequate to show my love and admiration for you. No matter what I needed you were there with words of encouragement, words that Jesus would speak, you live for him and now you can worship at his feet. We often question why the good die young but Jesus wanted you to worship at his feet.

6 Things you taught me

1) Do not be ashamed to be a Christian- let my light shine. Many times I would struggle with letting people know that I was a Christian, but after talking to you Mandy, I now let everyone know and people are so respectful and I love that.

2) How to pray- You taught me how to pray, you taught me to set up a prayer journal and talk to Jesus like a friend which he is.

3) It's OK to need a Mum break- life can sometimes get hard and we can get tired... we cook, clean, do homework, home school, plus all the other activities that kids need to do, it is OK to get a sitter and have a "day to refresh and rejuvenate"

4) How to share my faith- we had many a conversation about this. I have a desire to share my faith with my friends, you gave me many tips and some mini bible studies to share with them.

5) How to read my bible each day- I participated in your monthly scripture writing challenge, I am on my 2nd year and I am so happy to have 2 years worth of scriptures at the end of this year, every time I look at these books, you will be in my mind. 


6) You taught me how to love people and my husband better because the love you had for people and your husband always was clear to anyone who knew you.

Thank You, Mandy, Today I lived life differently. I smelled my child slowly, I chatted with them longer, I laughed more.... I spent the day talking to God and Thanking Him for everything... I asked God to please tell you what a wonderful legacy you left behind and how many lives you have touched in the last few days you have been gone.... You truly lived a life of Worship, just like your blog name  💜http://women-of-worship.com


Rest in Peace my friend, Go rest high on that mountain, your work on earth is done, go to heaven rejoicing, you finished well, you are still speaking to us with your scheduled post, Mandy the post that has shown up in the past week have almost taken my breath away, they were hand picked by God because of course, he knew you would be in heaven. 

In Loving Memory of: 
Mandy 💜

Forever Loved and in our hearts 

Take time to read through the blogs linked up here as we share memories of our friend and sister in Christ.

Friday Date Night Idea

Curl up on the couch and watch a movie together

My husband is not a movie person at all, so here is what we do sometimes
He will pick a movie or a show to watch, I will sit and watch with him even if i don't enjoy it because  it is about Compromise, he does the same for me, trust me he isn't a Momma Mia person ;)
