It’s praise time again, hosted by My Chocolate Heart. Today’s are all centred on this last weekend 

• Praise God for that lovely tired feeling that comes from a day well spent. On Saturday, I spent the afternoon in my garden, doing some brushing and sweeping, and tidying up the shed and preparing my pots for planting. The sun shone, and I was happy to share God’s beauty in nature!
• Praise God for that lovely feeling, after such a day, when one sinks into a long, hot bath, with jasmine scented bubbles. Recharging our batteries and looking after ourselves in little ways is so important.
• Praise God for the time my husband and I have had alone this weekend while the rest of the family have been away for a few days ~ time to chat, or to just sit companiably together in silence.
• Praise God for the Bank Holiday today, an extra day off work! I have celebrated by spending it in my pjs and dressing gown ~ well, it is a holiday!
• Praise God for my kitchen, and for the simple pleasure of baking cakes, meaking meals, or just pottering about. My favourite place to be!
• Praise God for good books, in which I can, for a moment, enter into another world. At the moment, it is a biography of Queen Katherine of Aragon ~ a true Catholic Queen and my historical heroine.
• Praise God for good films too. I enjoyed watching Amelie on Saturday evening, and it has inspired me to bless people in the little things, without them knowing!

“Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!”
