Friday’s Fave Five # 32

FFF fall leaves 2It’s Friday! And it’s that time again for favorites.  Head on over to Susanne’s to read more favorites and thanks Susanne for hosting Favorite Five’s.

I hope you all had a great week. 

I did and didn’t but in the end it’s all good.  There are a lot of things to be thankful for.  Really the fact that I got to live another day is reason enough for it to be good.

So here are my five for this week:

1. First up I won something.  I never have any luck when it comes to winning something from raffle tickets.  But yesterday I won something.  I didn’t believe it at first.  But it was no joke.   I won a night for 2 at the Zign Hotel  at Pattaya.  I was so thrilled.  And best of all – all the proceeds to the raffle ticket sales go to various charity’s here in Bangkok.The-Zign-Hotel-Pattaya

2.   Fellowship and Bible Study.  I really enjoyed my bible study this week.  Even though it made me feel uncomfortable, but it was good uncomfortable- if you know what I mean.  We talked about goodness, and how goodness does.  How it is “character energized” .  I’ve  learnt a lot not only from reading the study material and my bible but also from listening to the other woman.  Hearing about their experiences.  Both inspiring and challenging.

3.  Arnotts Chocolate Mint Slice.  I’m just loving these biscuits at the moment with a nice cup of tea.  Maybe just a little too much though…. oh well.

4.   Watching Renee play and take care of this little girl from one of the orphanages nearby.  For an after school activity she volunteers to visit and play with kids from nearby orphanages.  It’s great to see her spend her time and energy for these kids who come from so many problems.

5.    Cool weather and Sunsets.  And being there to see them.  Just so peaceful and beautiful.  This picture is of the lake that our community is built around.

Happy Weekend Everyone.

Congratulations on the win. How wonderful that your daughter thinks of spending time at the orphanage. That's a responsible thing to do. I like it when kids show they care.

Your pictures are lovely, especailly the sunset over the water.

You are obviously training up your child in the way of the Lord. How wonderful that she has a heart to love on children who are less fortunate. God has given her a tender heart and you have obviously molded it for His glory.

You have a very sweet daughter, what a good thing to do! I hope the kids in the orphanage will find loving families soon.

Chocolate and mint is my favorite flavor combo! Yum! Your daughter is learning young to share and be generous with her time. Are those orphans adoptable?
