The Saturday Six

 

One.

I know this post is for kids, but I thought there were some really fun things on this list! Virtual field trips that are all about fall! Time lapse of a pumpkin growing...how to make a corn maze...70 fall waterfalss around the world, and much more! You might just find something interesting in there. :) 

Two.

If you're still adding to your fall decor (on a budget) - check out this DIY fall acorn project, and the best part is you can make them any color you like! Whatever matches your house!

Three.

Here at WillowBridge, we are already planning ahead well into December, because calendars fill up fast around here! I really love this little calendar of kindness to show in December. Most of the items don't cost much - or anything! - and they can make a huge difference in someone's day!

Four.

Our anniversary is coming up in just a few weeks, so of course I am in prep mode! I know some people may not be able to go out/away for an anniversary because of illness or travel restrictions, so if you fall in that camp, but you want to have a special meal, check out the ideas on this post. I'm not sure that any of these fall in a clean eating category, but if you can't find an idea or two in this, then I'm not sure I can help you! (ha!) So many ideas! Even if you're not planning an anniversary, you might just find some new recipes for any given day of the week!

Five.

Doesn't this shirt just look SO COZY?????? I saw it on a blogger's post, and now I can't stop thinking about it.

I just finished working my way through another Daily Grace study! This time it was Preaching the Gospel to Yourself. This one intrigued me, because I don't think I've ever thought about the concept before, and I wanted to see what they had to say about it.

The premise behind this study is that although we usually think of the Gospel as something the lost need to hear (and they do!), it's not something believers don't need to hear. In the introduction, the writers say, "We need the gospel for our salvation, but we also need it for every moment that follows." While I suppose I knew that, I don't know that I'd ever paused to actually consider it. 

This four week study consisted of five days of study, followed by a day of reflection over that week. (That's a common layout for a Daily Grace study.) The first week focuses on what the Gospel actually is, why we need it, how it reflects God's glory, how it should drive our goals and decisions, and how it impacts our spiritual health. 

The remainder of the weeks address how the Gospel is woven into every area of life, including...our physical health, marriage and singleness, hospitality, the local church, work, free time, and yes - even social media. (There are other topics covered in the book, too, but those are some of the highlights.)

As with all their studies, this one is heavily saturated with Scripture passages to provide the foundation for the teaching. The book itself is beautiful, with thick pages, easy-to-read font, and amazing full-color pictures. 

I found this study particularly helpful for me in this season of working with our tenants, because it helped me realize how much I need to be mindful of what I'm living in front of them AND purposefully teaching them.

This week, this study is on sale for $10 through The Daily Grace - if you want to check it out for yourself!
