FUN Friday-1st Friday, Lorax and An Invitation!!

Happy Friday to y'all!!!  And Happy March 2013. 

It's hard to believe it is March already.  I love the endless possibilities of a new month!! So many great new things happening in March.  You might say I am crazy excited about the weeks to come.

Let's see......school gets really good, baby chicks are coming (more on that next week!), first official day of SPRING (did you notice my countdown to SPRING widget?), a mini SPRING break, daylight savings time, EASTER and OH I almost forgot St. Patty's Day!!!!!  All packed into THIS month!!!!

But before we move on to all that FUN, let's take care of today.


FUN Friday-so what's on board?
Not much if I can help it.  A slow and easy going day would be nice, BUT when a momma makes deals you must follow through.

-1st Friday means donuts for breakfast!  At least for the boys.



-Since we don't really have "sit at the table" school on Friday, I have planned a morning of reading.  Lots of reading NEW books!  3 new Dr. Seuss books in honor of his birthday tomorrow (thanks Mom!). 
And then we received that box with a smile on it filled with Easter books!  So we will be wrapped up in warm blankets reading this morning.  Or I will be reading and the boys will be eating donuts.



-This afternoon I will take a nap we will watch The Lorax!!  We saw it last year on opening day.  If you like musicals you will like it.....me not so much.  The book is MUCH better!  More couch time with popcorn and a movie.



What is on the agenda for your Friday?  Whatever you do make it FUN!!!  And if you get a chance get outside and enjoy nature!

But before I go.....this morning I started a new devotion book, 31 Days of Praise by Ruth and Warren Myers.  I have told you about it before and want to invite you to run out TODAY, pick it up and read along with me. I read front to back (it is not long 154 pages) years ago.  And through the years I continue to go back to certain sections that speaks to me. 

Here is another invitation from the author:
If you're just beginning to praise and worship, you're on the threshold of a great adventure.  You'll find that your gracious, mighty and majestic God is delightful beyond imagining. You'll discover what a high privilege it is to praise Him! And whether you're a beginner or someone who has long understood the benefits of praise, you'll find that the more you glorify the Lord, the more He will refresh you and deepen your experience of Him.

Christianbook.com describes the book like this:

Christians who long to experience God in a fresh, way will treasure this powerful, personal praise guide, re-released with a new and updated cover. Ruth and Warren Myers offer this powerful devotional, which gives you one month of daily Scripture-based devotions with encouraging suggestions for experiencing God in a deeper way. Allow Ruth and Warren to teach you how to cultivate the "heart habit" of praise and worship, learn how to appreciate and adore the Lord in all things - even in the midst of pain, disappointment, and heartache. A deeper intimacy with God, and a greater love for Him, is the sure result.


I hope you pick it up today or this weekend and play catch up.
