My Week at a glance
• It’s definitely feeling fall’ish here and I’m not mad about it! Summer was always my favorite season, but as I’ve gotten older, the humidity really gets to me.
I guess I am my mother after all. haha
• You’ll think I’m nuts, but Pookie and I spent the day on Saturday pulling Christmas decorations out of the attic. To celebrate, we watched White Christmas and drank hot chocolate that night.
It’s it too early? Yes, but I have something exciting going on behind the scenes for Christmas this year!
For now, I can just give you a little sneak peek, but I can’t wait to share more with you.
Sunday Scripture
There’s so much heaviness in the world right now, but we have nothing to fear.
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalm 1: 1-6, ESV
