Weekend Reflections

I just downloaded this free blogging app, so of course, I have to try it out immediately. :) Okay, maybe not immediately, but how about NOW?

I think I have had the wrong idea about this blog. I have often waited until major events or learning experiences have happened in my life before I would write about it. Now, thanks to this new, cool app, I can blog from my phone! Watchout Blog World! ;)

This has been a fast, furious, but great weekend. One of those weekends that there is little to no rest, but on Sunday evening, it's like, where did the time go?

Today we had a baby shower for a very dear friend of mine (and her husband too!). It was so nice to see her family & friends "shower" her with love and all kinds of baby stuff. As I watched her open gifts, I thought about how our church family is truly kind and generous. I feel so blessed to be a part of this amazing group of women. They all shared a little part of their maternal wisdom through their gifts and words of encouragement. It is so fun to listen to what advice and tips seasoned mothers give!

So, here's mine. As with most things in life, what you plan for isn't usually what happens. My small piece of wisdom, that secret helpful hint, ended up being a small, but relatively unknown ingredient for the punch. No, not "that" kind of ingredient... INVISIBLE KOOL-AIDE!

Invisible or clear drinks are a must in our house of seven. I mistakenly assumed that everyone knew about invisible Kool-Aide.

This evening during my quiet time, I thought again about the invisible Kool-Aide. My thoughts then turned to what other things do I assume everyone knows? What other pearls of wisdom do I have, that I don't share because I assume everyone already knows?

Definitely food for thought. So, for the upcoming week, I'm making a commitment to not keep those cool little insights hidden from the world.
