Here in the Northern Hemisphere, winter slipped quietly away as, on the 20th, we celebrated the First Day of Spring! 🌷
The crocus and daffodils have come and gone and, at present, my yard is purple with "bunny ears" (a term of endearment coined by my children when small for "henbit"); jonquils are blooming, as are the bridal's wreath and lilac bushes (my favorite)!
Tiny spring flowers dot the lawn...spring beauties, tiny bluets, grape hycinth, and violets. I noticed that the redbud tree is dead and I miss it's tiny, pink blossoms. I will have to plant a new one in its place after the old one is taken down.
From the kitchen window, I watched a robin gathering nesting material this morning. Blackbirds were walking around gathering insects and seeds and an Eastern bluebird flew across the yard. I'm so very thankful to be able to clearly see and observe all of them!
My new glasses should be in on Thursday. This will mark the end of a nearly four-month long ordeal in regaining my eyesight...for which I am extremely thankful!!! After this, the eye doctor said I'd have to return in six months to make sure the prosthetic lenses are still centered properly, then, after that, only once a year. Hallelujah!
I worked twice as many days at the park this past two weeks over what was originally scheduled and the Mary Kay business continues to grow. I had two on-line parties that ended the 31st and conducted my first in-person skin care class. I have three in-person skin care classes scheduled this week and another online party starting soon. If any of you are interested in holding an online party and having an opportunity to earn $100.00 or more in FREE product, please, message me! I'd love to be your consultant and set that up for you! Message or email me!!!
Saturday night we had a surprise birthday party for Amber (my eldest daughter) and I still can't believe we pulled it off! She truly was surprised and received just a small smidgen of the honor she deserves. She doesn't realize how much she does. By simply allowing the Truth and love of Jesus to radiate and flow through her, she touches, not only her family, but everyone she comes into contact with. She's amazing! Happy Birthday, Amber! I love you! 💓
My van is in the shop. Please pray that there are no major issues. I don't think there is, but there is a slight misfire and that is concerning.
Well, I've jabbered enough and need to move on with my day. I pray that this post finds you and yours happy, healthy, and serving the Lord with gladness. Have a great day and a wonderful week ahead!
Until next time...
~Rebecca
