Bible verse of the day

Giving thanks for food

I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness; 
   I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High. Psalm 7:17

I love that Bible verse! Yesterday I was reading my church’s weekly newsletter and my preacher wrote about how we should give thanks every single day instead of just 1 day a year (Thanksgiving). As I was reading the newsletter, I was sitting in my cozy kitchen surrounded by my family, enjoying a warm bowl of soup. So, I decided to make this post a foodie post cause I’m pretty thankful for all the meals/food/drinks I get to enjoy on a daily basis! So … without further ado: Split pea soup in a duck bowl? Cool cool. My mama’s homemade meatballs!Luna bar while heading to classCinnamon apple muffin with a granola toppingLentil soupBurnt eggplant, spinach, and snap peasScrambled eggsSliced red pepperHot chocolateGingerbread spice tea (I have to add tons of sugar to this because the flavor is so strong! I really want to find the Sugar Cookie flavor & Candy Cane Lane but I can’t seem to find them in stores.)Chicken stir fry

I don’t often realize it, but food is a big part of each day because you need to eat at least 3 meals a day. I really take for granted the fact that I have access to fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, an oven, refrigerator, clean water, etc. I just wanted to post this to remind myself how blessed I really am. God is good 🙂

[I’m considering doing a little mini series of posts about things I am thankful for.. up next? Probably family!]

Do you ever take clean water/fresh food for granted? 

What do you think about a “thankful series” of posts? 

Police and gloves

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart 
   be pleasing in your sight, 
   Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

Do you ever get around certain people and suddenly become hyper and full of energy? That typically happens when my sister and Jimmy and I get around each other. Things get wild and I end up on the floor laughing. 

Good times. Anyways.

Friday night Jimmy locked his keys in his truck so we called the police. The neighbors were staring when the po-po were at my house! Thankfully all was resolved. Hannah and Jimmy went bowling with our church league and I was left to run errands and then cuddle with Lily.

Oh yeah, we made pizza for dinner. Gotta support fundraising..

Gum balls were consumed. Hot chocolate for the Keurig was bought and enjoyed.

Friday was fun and relaxing.

Saturday began bright and early. Well.. in the dark. I did a long run in preparation for a race next weekend.

9.6 miles in 1:27 minutes = 8:57 pace and a hungry Allie all day. 

Jim and I drove an hour away from Pittsburgh to Ligonier, PA. We attended a huge fall festival commemorating Fort Ligonier. Twas fun. I didn’t get many pictures for some reason?! We enjoyed chicken wraps for lunch 🙂 They were good but my wrap came with cheddar cheese and sour cream… and i’m lactose intolerant… and I didn’t take my prescription. Ow. Good food is worth it though, most of the time!

I got some new gloves to keep my hands warm. YAAAAAAY!

We headed to a corn maze with our church youth group later on. More pictures another day…! I’m going to do some homework and then head off to church. Not too sure what is in store for today 🙂
