Ain't LIFE great?!

Yesterday was my husband's 40th Birthday! We had a great day celebrating him all day long. It began with a super big family breakfast - pancakes, eggs, bacon and awesome coffee. The kids (6 & 3 years old) helped of course. Jordan even made a smiley face with Craisins on John's pancakes - it was super cute! Then we all had lunch together at Chick-fil-A while waiting for the rain to stop. After a few errands we had a delightful tour through the French Market down in the Quarter. Jordan found a great pair of Fleur-de-lis cuff links for John - of which I was able to negotiate from $48 to $20 total. Sweet!

Then for the evening celebration we were able to get a baby sitter and enjoy a nice grown-up dinner in the French Quarter. It was a great day to celebrate life!

This week in my Bible Study of the Names of God we learned that God is our Elohim - our Creator. He gives us life for 2 main purposes - to bring Him glory and to do His will. Our life, all that we do should reflect His character!

How do you do this in your regular-every-day-life-stuff? How do you bring God glory in doing the laundry and raising your kids? How do you follow His will for your life while running to the grocery store?

I would love to hear your answers! Also - join me in a blog hop today as we fellowship with other ladies!
