Heart Gifts, Can You Share One Today?


                                                          

     Have you ever heard of heart gifts? Heart gifts are gifts that would cost nothing or next to nothing. The only thing is that the gift has to be thoughtful and from your heart!       
     Think about what your talents are and how you can bless others with them. Can you sew, can you cook? Use the talents God has given you. For example, are you cooking supper right now, could you add just a little extra and make a plate for your elderly neighbor down the street? What about the young woman with 3 kids and a constant run to games etc for them? What would it mean to her to have you bring a simple crock pot dinner and dessert to her door? Maybe you have flowers in your yard-pick some and take them to the lady who just lost her husband or someone who has been sick.  Pick up a drink from Sonic for you and the friend who has been seeming down, stop by for a quick visit and give her the drink and you both will be a little happier thanks to happy hour.  Send a card to someone you have been missing at church.
                                                          


      What a wonderful little heart gift any of these would be! These are just some ideas, there are millions more. How do you know who to give a gift to? Listen with your heart. What kind of heart gift can you give today?
           I challenge you to share a heart gift with someone today!

Simple Woman's Daybook for October 12th



For Today
Looking out my window... and thinking of all the tests I have had done  for my heart and praying they come out all right

I am thinking...I am not sure if I will ever get caught up on all my housework.  Am I just dreaming and expecting something to be that can't and probably doesn't have to be?

I am thankful... for the Word of God.

One of my favorite things...
My sweet daughter in law designed and made this in her boutique for me

I am wearing... pajama pants and old church tshirt, feeling kind of bummy today

I am creating... a couple of canvases for Christmas and an order (can't share because they are for gifts)


I am watching... the 7 Little Johnstons


I am reading...
Some of these I was on launch team but am now re-reading them because they are so full of knowledge that my life needs right now

I am listening to... my new Selah CD, I was blessed to be given a ticket to see them in concert here in my town last weekend
Broken Ladders

In the garden... it has been put to bed and not really sure if we will be having one next year, we may let the soil rest and try again the next year

I am hoping...to get healthier spiritually and physically in the near future. It is hard to face heart issues of both kinds but it is worse if I don't do anything to correct them.
I am learning... every day how important caring for me is.  I matter too and I am worth it! 

In the kitchen... White bean, chicken chili in the crockpot and cornbread muffins in the oven.

Board Room
Better Health-Spiritual and Physical
I started this challenge today and will let ya'll know next time how it went

Taking a Break to see if I want to continue

I am taking a break from here.  I am not sure if I want to continue or if my blog is another thing that is just a thing of the past.  I ...
