So, this morning I've been visiting some fave blogs that I try to visit at least once a week...and when I came to Lisa's I really liked her idea....she poses the question: how are you enjoying God today??
It got me thinking.....and I decided to copy her idea! (I sure hope you don't mind Lisa!) Head over to her blog by clicking on her name above to read the ways she is enjoying our Savior.
So....I ask myself: am I enjoying God today?? I did wake up with a mind that was a bit fretful....worrying over finances because we just paid the first college bill for our oldest daughter....I'm thankful for the academic scholarship but life is expensive right now in this economy.....yet, I need to be content in all things...and enjoy the things of God that He has put in front of me.....A contented heart will keep out many negative emotions for sure!
The things I am savoring this week......

Love your title! And your list. Such goodies. I love working with Snapfish, reading blogs, on and on, many of the same things as you. I’m glad we can savor the Savior in these ways!
