Do you feel like God is wanting you to make a change? Is there one thing that you could do to change your life forever? What are you doing with your time? Friends, we have so much beauty just outside of our homes. Are you taking this time to stop, relax, and smell the roses?
For example…
this past week, I walked around my yard and took pictures of the beautiful flowers. I noticed on social media others are doing the same.
I spend a lot of my time…
in the kitchen so I decided to look for some easy crockpot meals to save me time. Do you love to bake? I am having a terrible time finding yeast. If you have been able to purchase yeast, let me know. I baked banana bread a couple of weeks ago. Who doesn’t love banana bread? I tried baking bread without yeast and let’s just say it wasn’t the same.
One thing…
that I am doing on a daily basis is listening to uplifting podcasts. I love Joyce Meyers and Steven Furtick. Let me know your favorites. To stay positive throughout my day, I am learning to change my focus.
Changing our focus will change our attitude in our waiting. God calls us to live in peace in every situation.
How do we live in peace? We call out to Jesus throughout the day.
Help me, Jesus!
Solomon spent his life searching for meaning but ended up being disappointed, frustrated, and exhausted. We can spend our days searching for the meaning behind the Coronavirus, but it will only frustrate us and cause anxiety.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
Meaning is not found under the sun but in the Son. Spend time focusing on things that are edifying and build you up.
Change your focus and you will change your life forever!

Earth Day–Time to celebrate!
I am coming your way with some great Earth Day activities that you can do all week!
Here are a few activities that your kids will love!
You Rock — Rock Painting
There are so many great rock activities. This one is probably my favorite. Have you heard of a pet rock? Get your kids outside to collect some rocks. I like the unfinished river rocks. The smooth rocks are the best. You will need some water-based acrylic paint and some brushes. You can also use fine tip paint pens or even some markers that might work. This gets messy so put down some paper. Let your kids be creative such as hearts, rainbows, words, etc. (source: https://rhythmsofplay.com).
Easy Earth Day Collages –
There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating a collage. Get out some old magazines, construction paper, glue, and some pens. Have the kids find pictures in the magazines that represent earth day. It can be as creative as you like. Or you can stick with things like plants, earth, dirt, rocks, seeds, etc.
Fun Flower Earth Day Crafts –
If you don’t have seeds to plant some flowers, make some flowers. All you need to make earth day flowers are muffin tin liners, markers, straws, glue, and construction paper. The muffin tin liners will the petals and the straws are the stems of the flowers. You can cut leaves out of green construction paper. So much fun! (source: Printables4Mom)
All things Green and Blue –
Have the kids create pictures with only green and blue. See what they can come up with. Draw an earth and make it come to life with some eyes, nose, and smile. You can use a paper plate and a green and blue marker to make the earth as well (source: projectswithkids.com).
Cute Mini Plant Pots –
I love this idea! Take some empty Play-Doh containers, ribbon, glue, colored tape, and scissors. If you use ribbon, you will need to glue it on the container. I prefer the colored tape because all you need to do it cut it fit around the container. This is a great way to recycle. Now you can fill it with dirt, poke a hole in the bottom to let the water out, and plant a seed. Your kids will love it! (source: projectswithkids.com)
Your kids will love Earth Week! This is your time to really make this a fun time. Be creative. Tomorrow, I am sharing a few Earth Day recipes to try.
We are in this together! I would love to hear from you.
Blessings!
