My fave five this week include:
1. Clean and neat house. I enjoyed it tremendously while it lasted :).
2. Reading aloud to my kids. I've always loved doing that no matter how old they get :). I daily read the Bible to the boys. I've also been reading aloud Mr. Pipes and Psalms and Hymns of the Reformation.
3. DVD Swap. I really like getting rid of DVDs that we no longer want to watch/keep and in return receiving DVDs that we want to watch/add to our collection. Yesterday, I was excited to receive the DVD that I requested. I'm also a fan of Paperback Swap.
4. Chatting with my 16 year old daughter. She is so fun to be around. She is also wise and mature. We are very close; we can talk about anything.
5. My daughter's compassion for the unborn and passion to be a voice for them. Every year, she participates in Steps for Life, an annual fund-raising event for Pregnancy Resource Centers. Last year, she raised $1,362.20. Her goal this year is $1,500. Please consider helping save the innocent lives by clicking here. Thanks and God bless!
Wonderful 5! That is a great idea to swap DVD's. Reading out loud to your children is a wonderful thing! Hats off to your daughter for standing in the gap for those precious babies our society thinks they can choose to murder...
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of DVD swap but that kinda makes sense!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE reading aloud to my kids - although they are active little ones. I still either bribe them or entice them with books that will interest them.
What a wonderful goal your daughter has to raise $1500 for the unborn.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
What a great week you have had. I am not familiar with DVD swap, but I have signed up for the book one...I just forgot about it. I am such a book lover, I really should use that fabulous resource. what an awesome daughter you have. Mine just turned 19, and she is a beauty as well. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love a clean and neat house. It’s one of my favorite things (but not a thing that I have right now!). Read-alouds are great. Enjoy it while you can. Aren’t teenage girls fun? I sometimes get frustrated with my 15-yr-old, but she is really quite a treasure!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out both DVD and paperback swap! They sound like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet teen. I'll be back to click after dinner.
Happy weekend.
Great FFF! Reading to children is so much fun and so good for them!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Wow, I am amazed by your daughter's dedication. Bless her in her fundraising for such an important cause!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading to my children too. It was a special time.
Awesome 5 reasons to be Faves this week! We have daughter's the same age. You are blessed for your closeness. Mine is struggling so much.
