Who’s bad?

OK, I know this is corny. But I was just sitting here counting my blessings this morning. I was thinking about some things and then this thought crossed my mind…

what if I were born a bird, or a lion, or a house pet. 🤔

They are beautiful creatures and all with a purpose in this life but there’s nothing like being a human being.

What an honor and privilege it is to be at the top of the food chain, ruling and reigning the world.

And hey, out of 200 million competitors, I made it to the egg first. 😂 eat my dust suckers. Yeah that’s right, who’s bad?!

Front porch project

My poor husband, he has NO idea from day to day what his wife will get into next. Heck sometimes I don’t know myself. The idea comes and I go to work.

Always a project of some sort occurring at the Favors residence. My brain won’t shut off. Ideas ideas ideas even as I turn over in my sleep.

I ❤️ a good project.

A simpler life

I’m seeking a much simpler life. I want to get rid of all the stuff I really don’t need around.

I am always amazed at how very little I need while on vacation.

For instance, my wardrobe. On a weeks vacation I can easily get away with a few pair of pants and tops and one pair of shoes.

Why can’t I get away with that while I’m at home? My closet is bursting at the seams and I still can’t seem to find anything to wear. Something is wrong with that. 😂

Outdoor Spring Cleaning

I spent about three hours this afternoon spring cleaning the backyard.

Cleaned and spruced up the dogs house.

Gathered small branches, leaves and debris in the yard from Wally winter. Burned branches in fire pit.

Did some light pruning and some weeding.

My body feels like it was hit by a truck and left for dead. And my fingernails are super sore.

It is not going to be pretty at 5:30 AM tomorrow morning. I need another day to heal.

I had better stretch real good tonight. Body don’t fail me now.

Feeling excited!

Who gets all excited about a new boiler suit/coverall? Meeee.

I have been wanting one of these for quite some time now. I bought it two sizes larger but that’s OK.

I can wear it over top of my clothes when I’m working on various projects.

I’m so over winter and ready for some spring cleaning.

I’m feeling like a fat kid in a candy store.

Blind Spots

Horses have the largest eyes of any land mammal. 
Because their eyes are set on the sides of their heads they can see almost all the way around them, in nearly a complete circle.
If you were standing directly in front of a horse or directly behind, the horse won’t see you. You’ll be in the animal’s blind spots.
You have blind spots too, and they’re bigger than a horses blind spots.
When it comes to spiritual things, we all have blind spots.
We say or do things that are wrong but we may not see what we’ve done.
You make a joke at someone’s expense, you might not realize that what you’re doing is hurting someone else. Blind spots.
How do we get rid of spiritual blind spots?
By listening to God, in prayer and through His word.
God has the power to open our blind eyes. His Spirit can break through any blind spot and help us see more clearly.
The word of God is active and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joints and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12

Conversation with my son

Background: my husband brought home a gallon of milk.
Me: standing at the kitchen sink running water over the milk container then drying it off with the kitchen dish cloth. 
Floyd: what are you doing?
Me: cleaning the container.
Floyd: why are you so weird? Don’t be weird be normal.
Me: I don’t know how many hands have touched this milk carton before it arrived here at home with us.
I just have to do this for my own peace of mind. And I don’t mind being weird.
You’ll never ever forget me that’s for sure.

Floyd: strange look on his face. 
Me: that poor kid is stuck with me (inner voice).
