Friday Fave Five

Susanne at Living to Tell the Story hosts Friday Fave Five in which we share our five favorite things from the past week. Thank you Susanne for hosting this inspirational sharing game!

1. God's financial provision. Winter months for faith based missionaries can be very bleak. January, and February were especially hard but God is always faithful. We were especially blessed this week with a unexpected windfall from my mom. She told me that God had been nudging her to help her daughters. Thanks mom for your attentive heart and listening ear to the Holy Spirit's leading. We are indeed blessed by your gift.

1. Some improvement in Mr. Wonderful's energy level. We have switched to a Gluten-Free diet which includes more whole foods and away from processed foods. We are starting to see some improvements in my hubby's stamina. We realize this will probably be a gradual improvement so we rejoice in small steps.

1. The gradual return of Spring. It is so nice to start seeing some greening of the grass, buds on the trees, baby animals in the fields, spring flowers starting to sprout and finally temperatures in the 60's. I am so ready for spring!!!

1. The return of volunteers at the Mission. We will be having volunteers all this month. What an outpouring of service. We are staying really busy just trying to stay ahead of the groups so they will have all the equipment and supplies they need to be able to help us. (It's a good problem!)

1. Contact with the family. I have heard from all my kids this week, as well as my sisters and my mom . That doesn't happen very often and always makes me happy and feel blessed.
