“…I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
~John 10:10b
Sometimes it’s the little things in life that we remember the most.
On Friday I had a friend over. When we got to my house we talked and shared interesting tid-bits over coffee. We then had some lunch while watching coverage of the Thunderbird Crash. After lunch we made cards, played games, painted our nails, and watched “Mom’s Night Out“ {If you haven’t seen this movie I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT; I really, really love that movie.}
Saturday we went to the indoor range so that we could all practice our target shooting. Although I’m not where I want to be I am very thankful and encouraged by the progress I have made. I can now say that I’m hitting paper rather consistently. I couldn’t say that a month and a half ago. So I have made improvement! (:
After the range we went to the local Habitat for Humanity Re-Store and looked around then popped into Goodwill to see if we could find any treasures. We didn’t find anything that we couldn’t live without, however, I am very pleased that I made it out of there without a CD. (Now THAT is impressive…).
Sunday we went to church and then rested since several of us didn’t feel well.
Dad took Monday off so that he and us three kids could get our eyes checked. We had some errands to run before our appointments. We finished what we could and found we had some time to kill so we decided to check out the book store across the street. And let me tell you IT WAS AWESOME! There was an entire section of inspirational books and Amish romance novels. Then there was the book of funny sayings, old books with really pretty covers, and an entire shelf of pretty journals and notebooks. (I had to really work on some self-discipline because I love note books!). There was also a gigantic section devoted to children’s books with all sorts of pretty illustrations and then a lot of biographies. So many books that looked so good. I didn’t look too in depth because I easily could have been bankrupt in a matter of a couple of hours. But I’m definitely going back in the near future!
We then went to our appointments and I got new contacts! I also got a really cool new summer hat that will match more of my blue clothing and a really cool pair of sunglasses. And let’s not forget the new glasses case that fits both my glasses and contacts! That will come in very handy for traveling (since I travel so frequently…).
The reason that I’m sharing all of this with you is because I want you to know that you don’t need to do something BIG in order to make memories. Sure you can make great memories going on vacations and seeing the world. But you can make just as good of memories not leaving town. Sometimes the best memories are the little inexpensive things in life.
What are some little things that you have done that turn into some of the best moments of your life? I’d love for you to share them in the comments below!
Until next time,
Bailey Sue
