Yes, somehow it's Friday again -- even though, after having yesterday off for Thanksgiving, today feels like Monday to me! Time for Friday five for this week!
1. A wonderful praise and Thanksgiving service on Wednesday evening at church. Our numbers may be small, but along with college students and visitors we were blessed with great music and meaningful testimonies. To God be the glory! We also enjoyed a fantastic harvest dinner together as a church last Sunday. When you are a small church, without a pastor, and with some folks away for the holiday, it can be very tempting to just skip special occasions like this. But we persevered and are so thankful that we did.

5. Getting out for a walk even on some chilly days this past week. I have noticed that I have so much more energy and get so much more accomplished on days when I walk. It's going to be challenging this winter, but we plan to go out whenever possible.

Oh what a nice stash of winterberries. My source for winterberries and fir tips was sold. 😊 My sister-in-law is offering me her 11 acres. I know she has fir tips and I am hoping there are winterberries somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks like a wonderful and truly blessed Thanksgiving. I just got out of the dishpan. 😳 My sister did lots of dishes after dinner, but oh the dishes created with a big dinner like Thanksgiving.
Always good to read through a gratitude list because it reminds me of so many things. Glad that your church family gathered as well.
Lovely photos shared here! Your Thanksgiving table looks great! We had cider in the fridge and I didn't think to offer it to our guests! What a great idea! Happy Friday!! Loved your five!
