Boxes, Schoolwork & Squirrels ~ Collage Friday

 

This week is National Collection Week! All of our boxes have been taken to a local relay center and (as I expected) we have already been blessed on our side of the box.

It's not unusual to hear stories of one person packing 50 boxes. We heard of a church in our area that packed 2,000 boxes! 

Another woman we met at the relay center was the coordinator for her church. She told us about their packing party, and how she set a timer and every time it went off she would say, "Stop and pray!" and all those packing would pray over their boxes.

The Best Apple Cake and Frog Guts! ~ Collage Friday

 

Each Thursday afternoon I sit and write this collage post. 

My kids have piano lessons, so I take advantage of the 75 uniterrupted minutes of time to document and reflect on the week. 

Today the weather is beautiful - the leaves are almost all off the trees and it's peaceful and cool. 

There's SO MUCH to be thankful for, and I'm happy we all get to share our weeks with each other during Collage Friday.

It's best if I start at the beginning.
