My last Friday Randomness post appeared right before the new blog makeover which included a new tag line. It seems appropriate to return with a new name for this hopefully weekly post: Scattering of Love . . . the love found on the web (and a few other places quite possibly).
How about we limit the love found to five as to not overwhelm either of us.
Declare Love
Meeting these ladies at the Declare Conference. . . oh, what a delight. No words are needed. I just love them!
 |
| Inspiring ladies you should know (from left to right): Rebecca, Karin, and Jana |
 |
| Hugging this fabulous lady was one of the highlights of the weekend. |
Did you know tickets are already on sale for Declare 2015 and they are only $80.00? If the conference wasn't over my birthday weekend I would buy in a heartbeat. My husband and I have spent my past two birthday's apart so I have every intention of being home for the next one.
Decorating Love
My daughter-in-law knows how to shop and decorate. She found the vase at a thrift store and the flowers are from a local farmer's market. Beauty for only a few dollars! And her little Storm in the picture is a sweetheart. I'm off this weekend to find myself a similar vase and plan to stop at the farmer's market for flowers because I want this in my living room. As much as I love Storm, my two pups are enough.
Reading Love
I have several books going at the moment (really hate when I do that). But Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist is pure enjoyment. Did you know Shauna resides in Chicago? Do you think she would meet me for lunch and a glass of wine?
Blog Reading Love
Why I named my Blog "Embracing Grace and Truth" by Denise J. Hughes
I do so hope I reflect His grace, truth and love in all that I think, say, and do too. By the way, I also had the pleasure of meeting Denise at Declare. What a sweet, sweet woman.
Video Love
Good News for Idol-Worshipers by Asheritah of One Thing Alone
Are you studying Jonah with Hello Mornings? Even if you are not, I promise you will enjoy Asheritah's video. And I think anyone who does videos of themselves is super brave so she has won me over.
For more scattering of love visit Kristen and Kristin. I know, that makes it more than five. They are worth the visit though.
Until next time, friends, have a beautiful joy-filled weekend.
How fun to see you with ladies I am familiar with. I am acquainted with Becky from PWOC gatherings and love Karin's writing. Thanks for drawing me into community with my first couple of link ups earlier this summer. Love this format!
ReplyDeleteIt was a delight to spend time with those ladies. Praying we one day have the opportunity to meet in real life, Ginger. Blessings. xoxo
DeleteI'm so glad you met Denise Hughes! Her gentle, humble spirit reminds me of you. I met Denise in 2013 when she cohosted (in)RL with Jacque Watkins (who writes the blog Mercy Found Me). They encouraged me to start my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt was a real treat to meet her, Debbie. A fabulous weekend all and all. :)
DeleteBlessings. xoxo
This place looks gorgeous, Beth! I love your colors and design. Thank you for sharing what inspires you - I'm off to follow some links.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful you go to go to Declare. It's a dream of mine to go to a blogging conference some day. And my friend just returned to me Bread & Wine. I didn't have time to read it when I got it. But I look forward to sitting down with that. LOVE the new name for your Friday randomness! Thanks for linking up today!
ReplyDeleteIt's a book that I'm thinking will be great for picking up here and there. Not one to rush through but simply enjoy. You will love it when you do have a chance to read. It was great to linkup again this weekend. Love you. xoxo
DeleteYou are such an encourager, Beth. I love seeing your smile but knowing all that you must be going through each day with your husband half-way around this world reminds me to pray.
ReplyDeleteCaring through Christ, ~ linda
Thank you for your kind words, Linda, and your prayers. Blessings. xoxo
DeleteLove, Love the new name for this!!! I met so many new beauties here today and it's wonderful when that happens! Love you, beautiful Beth! <3 Heart Hugs
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet friend. Love you. xoxo
DeleteI am always guilty of reading more than one book at a time! Thanks for all the great links. Have a blessed weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere are too many wonderful ones out there to read. It makes deciding on one SO hard. Thank you for stopping by, Heather. Blessings.
Delete<3 the new name for your Friday series. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lyli. xoxo
DeleteOh, I just love you. I absolutely loved our time together! This is such a beautiful community, Beth. I'm already looking forward to our next gathering. <3
ReplyDeleteOh me too, Karin. I hope we can do it again soon. Love you. xoxo
DeletePrefect name for your place of encouragement and fun on Fridays. Love this! You know I'm reading the book so I really think you need to hook up with her someday. Someday perhaps I'll go to Declare or you'll come to Allume and we will meet. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI really liked Bread and Wine, its a great read!
ReplyDeleteThe new name is perfect, Beth, for that's exactly what you do, scatter the seeds of love. May the yield be a hundred fold, and more. Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth! It was so fun to see you with your new friends from the conference. Sounds like you had a great time! And if that author knows what's good for her, she'd call you and have bread and wine all afternoon, chatting and sharing with you.
ReplyDeleteKeep scattering your seeds my friend!
