Monday Musings // Counting the Little Joys

Some things I'm thankful for from this past week . . . 

Squishy food keychains on sale at Michael's Craft store (of course, I couldn't resist getting a few 😄)

Brand-new lava/glitter lamps for my room 😁

Decorating dozens of sugar cookies

Enjoying a visit with friends from church for the first time in a long while

Homemade pizza (sorry, no pictures. we ate it up too fast.)

This song ⬇⬇⬇


Watching God's Not Dead (movies 1 and 2)

Walking in the rain

More Sue Thomas FBEye!! We had just finished the episode Prodigal Father from season two, and, not being able to take the suspense any longer, Mom and I both hopped online to search and see if Sue and Jack ever marry. Aaand the answer **HIGHLIGHT TO VIEW S
POILER**➡➡➡ they don't.

Do you like keychains (even if you don't have a key to put them on)? What's a song God has been using in your life recently? Let's talk in the comments below!

Blessings,
Ellen S.

  1. I love keychains!! I only have a set of house keys... and that's where they always are- in the house. I never use them.

    1. Fun! 😀 I'm not *usually* a keychain addict . . . until you put "books" or "faux food" (or possibly both!) in the equation. Then I'm done for. 😂

  2. I could have told you the spoiler to Sue Thomas.... Sue Thomas is great, isn't it? I'm getting Volume IV today at the library today. I have WAY too many key chains and only one key...

    1. IT'S AWESOME. 😄😄😄 I'm assuming you've watched the whole series before? If so, do you have a favorite episode? 😊

    2. I've watched several random episodes before we started the series from the beginning. "The Newlywed Games" and "Breaking up is Hard" (or something like that; I can't remember the exact name) are my FAVORITES so far!

    3. I'm really looking forward to watching both of those!! 😁

  5. How fun!!! Oooh, I LOVE lava lamps! They're so cool to look at! AHHH, I want to watch Sue Thomas FBEye SOOO bad! Everyone seems to love it, but unfortunately I can't get it anywhere for free. *sobs* If it's that good, maybe I'll have to convince my parents to let us rent it or something...XD

    1. *whispers* you can watch it with a Hallmark Movies now subscription ($6/month) and I think there's like a 14 day free trial or something... Same thing with a Dove subscription, but I think Dove only has season one ;)

    3. Thanks, Victoria and Faith! You can also get Sue Thomas through Tubi (free w/ ads). Hope you're able to watch it at some point!! I think you would enjoy the series. 😀

  8. I recently heard an older song for the first time and was very moved by it. It's by Fernando Ortega, Jesus King of Angels. I watched the Sue Thomas series some time ago, it's a good one. I like that it's based on a real life Sue Thomas. Merry Christmas.

  11. Hey! Weird question- but are your words for the year 2020 or 2021?

    1. 2020. 😊 I need to choose a new word (or two) for this upcoming year.

  12. Decorating Christmas cookies is so fun! “I will praise You in this storm” is a song that’s been on my mind lately. I’m not sure yet about a word for 2021 but it may be “present.” : )
