Friday five: May 24



Time again for Friday five! 

As I was trying to think what image to use here, I remembered some 1950s calendar pages that my mother had saved for years.  I scanned them awhile back and had sort of forgotten about them.  Today while out walking I was mulling over images in my mind and remembered these.  This is a particularly glorious springtime illustration, I think.

On with the five:

1.  Seeing God answer fervent prayer for a friend.  We were praying for wisdom for her in a difficult situation and then for a good resolution to her situation.  God answered both prayers marvelously.

 2.  The opportunity and good weather to get out and walk four times this week.  The apple trees we pass are just beginning to look like the one below.

3.  A lovely phone chat with a dear young woman I'm mentoring.  Also a lovely email from a friend.

4.  The opportunity to attend our granddaughters' public high school spring concert.  One sings in the chorus; the other plays saxophone in the band.  The concert was excellent. 

5.  Time to do a little bit of crafting!  It's exciting to find a little bit of time to work on a handmade gift using sewing and embroidery.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

  1. I love that image. A reminder of a simpler time or at least it seems that it was to me a lot less distractions. Enjoy your weekend.

    1. I love it too, Sandy. A simpler time and I really think a happier time. I am feeling a bit of a tug to write my childhood memories out for my kids and grandkids. We will see. Thanks for the visit!

  2. That’s an adorable little girl! Those 1950s illustrations are so fresh.

    All of Abby’s are great, too.

    Glad that your friend had two wonderful answers to prayer. Such a faith boost to see good things come through. God is good.

    You have a good week, too.

    1. I know, those illustrations are simply wonderful. I can see why my mother saved them. That little girl! So cute.

      And yes, Abby is so kind to share her talent with all of us. I have used more of her images than I can count.

      Oh, if you read this -- pray for my friend some more. The situation did not stay resolved (it apparently erupted again yesterday) and she is at her wits' end. It's a family situation, I can say that much.
