  • Wednesday night I put out our basket of treats and a thank you note for our USPS and UPS delivery drivers! So fun that I pulled up video from our Ring doorbell and got to see that it caught our postal carrier finding it yesterday and how excited she was! Sound on to hear her excitement (and please excuse the barking dog!) 🎄❤️

  • I don't know about you but I am a HUGE online shopper. HUGE. I'm crazy thankful for my mail carrier and UPS driver. These folks are crazy hardworking & so appreciated especially this time of year when we all have a million and two packages to be delivered. A few years ago I started leaving them little treats as a tiny thank you. I made a little sign and grabbed some Gatorade and snacks and set them on the porch. They were so appreciative and one even left a little thank you note! I re-did my note this year an if you'd like to print out your own copy of the note you can do so at the link below. I also made individual little notes to give our mail carrier and UPS driver and garbage man with a treat or gift card. You can find all three at the link at the bottom of the post here: http://bit.ly/2RvHBxF (link in profile) Let's bless those hard working delivery drivers! 🚚

  • Notes to Myself Today: 1. We don’t get to pick the story we’re living, but we get to pick who we are in the story. 👍🏼 2. Encouraging people need encouragement too. ❤️ 3. You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do. 😳 4. Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most. 👊🏼 5. Don’t skimp on things that matter. (Name brand toilet paper and time with those you love are two things that truly matter!) 🚽 #notestomyself #swtblessingsblog

  • Happy December friends! The scripture plan this month is over a topic that we all need more of, PEACE! Are you weary? Deep, soul weary? Is there something in your life that has your heart physically aching? Something heart breaking that you simply can't understand or fix or make better? Me too. As someone who is a person of action- who loves to help and to serve and solve problems- facing a situation in the life of someone I love greatly that I can't? It is hard and painful and heartbreaking. And to be honest it's something I struggle with. But I am thankful, oh so thankful, for a heavenly father who meets me in my weariness. A father who I can sit at His feet and weep- knowing He hears me and loves me and that although I am weak, He is strong and I can rely on His great strength. I'm thankful that God's strength, not mine, is all powerful and that in moments of despair and weariness, I can lift my prayers to Him- He who is always listening and is fully in control. He promises in His word over and over again that He will be our peace and our strength- always. In case you need reminders of the peace that can ONLY come from our Heavenly Father, here are a few of those many promises about peace God gives us in His word. You can print out a copy of the plan in English or Spanish here: http://www.swtblessings.com/2019/11/december-scripture-writing-plan-peace.html (Link in profile)

  • I LOVE doing finals care packages (seriously I LOVE it❤️) and this one from a few years ago -The 12 Days of Finals- was my all time favorite! Instead of sending one big box of stuff like I usually do, that year I decided to space it out and send The 12 Days of Finals gifts. I sent the wrapped gifts back with her after Thanksgiving and she started opening them 12 days before the end of her finals. It works just like the 12 Days of Christmas song so day 1 included 1 thing, day 2 included two things, etc. I thought it would be more fun to have something to open each day rather than one giant box. For the gifts I alternated between gift cards, food treats, fun brain breaks and little gifts.Many of the days include treats for her sweet roommates too! You can get the printable tags and a list of the items I used here: http://www.swtblessings.com/2015/12/12-days-of-finals-care-package.html (Link in profile) (Note: And to print 4 to a page be sure and download and save the file. Then open it and choose Print and then multiple).
