In reply to Donna Enochs. Every time we get to a new month, I re-read the chapter and laugh all over again. She is hysterical! Thank you so much for your prayers! We need them for sure! XOXO

I am laughing my way thru the 7 book-so funny yet convicting. Thinking a multiple of 7 for me-like maybe 14, or even 21. Not sure if that will work on the giveaway month. Praying for you &ALL your family with your move.

In reply to Dena McConnell. Thanks Dena!! Yes, I think I've walked a mile this month taking little pieces of paper to the bins! :)

So this made me think…toilet paper rolls need to be recycled and the paper products. I am so quick to grab these for summertime b/c it is so much easier, but I will think twice about throwing these in the cart next time. Love reading your blog 🙂

In reply to Barb Palmer. I love this idea, Barb! Making time for REST is definitely part of using less energy!

I have never considered myself very environmentally friendly. Not that I am opposed to it, I just don’t think about it much. Oh, I recycle some, but one thing made me think something little we have always done and I will thank my husband’s parents for this, is we try to rest on Sundays. The way this is a steward of resources is Sunday after church we always have left-overs. I would sit everything out on the counter from what I had cooked during the week and everybody could fill their plate up with what they wanted. It was a great way to accomplish three things; everyone could get what they wanted to eat, I used up my left-overs and I never had to cook lunch on Sundays. Sometimes I had enough left for Sunday dinner also. It isn’t much and I still probably throw too much food away, but it is a start.

In reply to Rachel Flinchum. I love stuff like this too! There are lots of community gardens popping up around town! So fun!

I love the community garden idea. I see so many areas around town that could be a public park (even an empty house lot is big enough for a community park) that aren’t being used for anything. I love seeing stories about stuff like that happening.
