I
thought about naming this post “Things I
Love About Denton” but then I realized some things on my list aren’t
restricted to Denton or even Texas for that matter they are just little things
that I thank God for. The things in my life that I get to count as blessings
because God loves me and shows me that in the little things daily. (Jacob also
knows I like the little things and he is constantly trying to think of ways to
love me in the little things. Just another way God has blessed me, but in a big
way.)

Fiddler
On The Roof… Last week Jacob and I got the opportunity to see this play
at the local Denton Theater (or is it ‘theatre’) It was so much fun to watch a
local show with people we knew performing. My favorite part though? Seeing all
the people we knew in the audience! I love that we have a community of
believers in Denton that we share life with.
- -Wedding
Shower…The
same weekend we went to the play I attended a wedding shower. This is on my
list for basically the same reason above. I think I knew all but a handful of
people there and what a blessing it was for me to see God use us to bless the
bride and her soon to be husband. We didn’t play any typical “wedding shower
games” instead we enjoyed each other’s company, talked to others about what God
is doing in our lives, and lastly we circled around the bride and spent time in
prayer over her marriage and their future working for the Lord. What a sweet
time!

SAMS
Samples… Well I warned you in the title, this is about the little
things. One of our favorite Saturday activities is to go SAMS and just walk
around. But Saturday is like a bonus because you walk around and then get free
samples! (Yes it is worth it to have a SAMS membership) I love being married to
my best friend because it means I get to do everything with the person I love and
it makes everything fun and enjoyable. Even things I am not fond of, like
grocery shopping, I can be guaranteed a laugh if I am doing this WITH Jacob. He
is for sure the best husband in the world. I still can’t believe how lucky I am
that he chose me.
I think James 1:17 is an appropriate verse to leave you
with because without my Heavenly Father I would not be able to enjoy the little
things. =)
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from
above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation
or shifting shadow. (NASB)
