Saturday Suggestions: Inspirations for Your Weekend

Happy Saturday, friends! Hope you are enjoying your beautiful fall day. The leaves are so pretty here right now. I have loved the drives I’ve had this week and the chance to see so much pretty color out there. Hope you’re enjoying them too! And here are a few fun things for you to check out, too!

ONE.

I had read that Natalie Grant sang at the recent Dove Awards, during the part of the show where they honored those who have died during the last year. You can watch the whole ceremony here, but if you just want to see that one song, it’s worth the time. It starts shortly after minute 55 and is a beautiful rendition of My Tribute. She did a tremendous job.

TWO.

I read this post this week about the idea of a Commonplace Book. While the idea is not new to me, I did not know it had a name! Such a book is a journal of quotes from books you have read and loved. This is a great solution to capturing quotes from books you can’t write in (borrowed from friends or libraries) or for anyone who doesn’t like to write in books. While I fear it will double my reading time to create such a journal, because I tend to underline A LOT, I think it could be a valuable tool for helping me capture lines I love so I can look back on them all in one place!

THREE.

You know how it goes when you keep running into the same message over and over and you know God is trying to tell you something? Yep. Happened to me this week. When I stumbled on this article about saying no in order to say yes…I thought it sounded awfully familiar. That’s because I had run into the same idea from a different person in a different place the day before. Mmmm hmmm. I hear you, God! And I don’t just hear. I’m listening. GOOD words in this post and a good reminder that no and yes can be equally important answers when following God’s call on your life!

FOUR.

I am sure I have shared this link in years past, but it’s okay to share again! My real-life friend and name twin, Rebecca, has created a beautiful business writing and sharing adorable crochet designs. With cold weather upon us, perhaps you are looking to take up crochet – or find new patterns for your existing skills. She has a whole treasure trove to choose from!

FIVE.

If you have five million dollars you’re looking to spend, this amazingly beautiful property in Ohio could be yours! This was built around 1930 and crawled straight out of a book. My goodness. I look at a lot of old houses that are usually partially accurate, but at least from the pieces shown of this one, they’ve kept the feel of the 1930s all the way through. Stunning inside and out! (And it comes with two cottages, so you can bring friends! Pick me! I’m a friend!)

SIX.

If you like to pray for people and want to send them a note to tell them you did just that, here’s a template to print your own at home! Happy mail makes me happy to send AND receive, so I love this idea!

BONUS!
