Sunday Delights

R.C.'s Sunday Delights for 01/11/09

1. my 33rd birthday yesterday
2. Bear's 8th birthday tomorrow
3. sleeping in on a Saturday
4. fresh, honest, real friends
5. working on music with my family

Sunday Delights, my attempt to purposefully "count my blessings" at least once a week, is seeing its final regular publishing in its current form. Thanks to all who have read and shared your blessings, and please feel free to do so one more time. I shall continue to think on what God is doing in my life, and be grateful for his presence and goodness, and I pray that you will, too.

Thanks,
R.C.

Sunday Delights

The first Sunday of the new year, and there's lots for which to be thankful! So, without further ado, my Sunday Delights:

1. New Beginnings in '09 (out with the old and in with the new - new horizons, new adventures, new discoveries, new etc.)
2. having my prayer language interpreted to answer the prayer of someone else ("Praise be to God!")
3. making progress on our information packet (check out Praise the King here)
4. helping Bobo find a Nintendo DS (praise God for pawn shops and wheelin and dealin - he was quite excited)
5. awesome friends and family with which to journey through life (so cool living next door to grandparents, having the other grandparents just an hour and half away, and having hardcore, fun-loving spiritual brothers and sisters)

Now, it's your turn! Try to think of 5 things that delight you about your life right now, and please comment on them. It helps you to "count your blessings" and it encourages those of us who read them! Thanks!

Sunday Delights

Well, I missed last week's edition; sorry about that. Here we go for 12/28/08:

1. Christmas (favorite holiday)
2. exposing my boys to the entire Star Wars saga (they got the originals for Christmas, and loved them!)
3. Radio City Christmas Spectacular featuring The Rockettes (amazing show - especially the Christmas story)
4. after Christmas sales (2 pairs of pants, baby!)
5. a wonderful weekend away with friends and no kids (thanks guys who went, and thanks grandparents for watching the kids!)

Now, come up with 5 things/events that are blessings/delights in your life. I encourage to write them in the comment section, but as long as you at least think about them, I guess that will be ok, too.

Sunday Delights

I'm still chugging along with these, even if you don't participate. It helps me to remember some blessings that I may otherwise take for granted.

R.C.'s Sunday Delights for 12/14/08

1. Christmas parties without the kids (thanks, Soloman, for watching the crew)
2. winning all the games at said Christmas party (Bridge and I rock!)
3. cold weather in winter (we live in SW OK - it just feels more like Christmas when it's cold)
4. finding a great deal while Christmas shopping (uh, yeah!)
5. celebrating the season with family and friends (by far my favorite holiday)

Your turn! Name 5 things/events/people/whatever that give you Sunday Delights. Didn't your mama ever tell you to count your blessings?

Sunday Delights

Seriously, you can post late on Sunday or early Monday, I just encourage you post some Sunday Delights of your own. Thanks for your support.

Sunday Delights for 11/23/08

R.C.'s Sunday Delights:

1. Sooners 65, Red Raiders 21
2. Saturday morning chat with my 3 year old daughter at 9:30 - in bed
3. the open possibilities of new frontiers
4. my wife's femininity - (she doesn't have the desire to be "one of the boys" and belch or pass gas purposefully with others around) - thank you Bridget, for being a lady
5. discovering our Sprint contracts were up in June instead of December like we thought

Now, it's your turn. If you read last week's Sunday Delights, you'll notice the stark lack of comments - even from my wife. Surely, some of you have something that delights you. Don't you?

Sunday Delights

Every Sunday, I shall try to contribute to this family blog with my Sunday Delights. I encourage you to find 5 things that delight you and post them every Sunday, as well. Please comment or link back to here with your own post. Thanks, and be encouraged.
