Finding joy in my afternoon!

-
Afternoon is usually a time when I'm anxious waiting for my husband to get home. It has been like that for a few years now! But today at 7pm instead of doing our normal getting ready to sleep routine we decided to go for a "rabbit spy". At the library I met a mom that told me about spying the rabbits after 6pm! I remember seeing the rabbits when going out running but haven't done spying with my children!! Oh how fun!! I truly appreciate the words of that mom!
Perhaps we saw a few rabbits but the memories we kept are more than many!!
 The life treasures are usually found where we least expect it!! A simple smile, a little laugh, a brotherly love caring for the sister that doesn't want to get hurt in the thorns! That's more than expected! That's God's love for us!! 
May we love each other as brothers and sisters and care each others burdens!! 

Kindly 
Lucy :) 

Ps.: Look at the neighbor we found on our way back home:

A Higher goal...

Today I reached my goal! The 30 days of writing a thankful note daily is finished.  I truly didn't know how to start a blog but how much easier it's to put an end in something. I had everything that I wanted to write in my mind all day long.  And now it's like a blank came....Though writing is a therapy to me, somedays it was becoming an obligation and not a thankful note, and other times I didn't know I could say so much and do so much at once. The recipes I shared, the routine I wrote it down, the pictures taken all was not planned by me but I know that there's someOne Higher than I and Knows the end from the beginning He touched me to write every single post because all things may not happen the ways we plan but it sure happens the way God has planned.  However sometimes I would stay up 'till late and miss the talk with my husband because I got to write down all the things I did throughout my day and this way I didn't miss only the night talking with my h...

SELF- CONTROL

The character quality for last week's lesson was self-control: control of one's emotions, desires or actions as one is empowered by the Holy Spirit. " He is strong who conquers others; he who conquers himself is mighty"- Lao- Tzu " Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire."- Epictetus, Discourses(2nd C. ) " I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself."- Pietro Aretino   "Self-control separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom, thanks to our large prefrontal cortices. Rather than responding to immediate impulses, we can plan, we can evaluate alternative actions, and we can refrain from doing things we'll regret. We can also take advantage of these innately human abilities by developing wisdom and willpower.Getting your body moving for as little as 10 minutes releases GABA, a neurotransmitter that makes your brain feel soothed and keeps you in control of your i...
