Savor 7 {Saturday} ~ 9/1

Welcome back once again! It's Savor 7 {Saturday} friends ~ a new way to share blessings and encourage each other! For explanation of the 7 categories, see the original post. Thank you for joining me last week! And a special thank you to Lori for linking up and especially for sharing about falling through a screen door {she is fine!}!

Let's look back at our week and "savor" {to have experience of; to taste or smell with pleasure; to delight in} together. 

7 blessings. 7 experiences, tastes, smells, delights. 7 ways to share, encourage, inspire. 1 for each day of the week. Join me? Write your own post, sharing something for each of the 7 categories and link it up right here anytime over the weekend. If you don't have a blog, share some of your blessings in the comments!

Savor 7 {Saturday}

SCRIPTURE:

Psalm 117:2 For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the LORD [endures] forever. Praise the LORD! 

 STORY TELLER: I'd like to share a blogger from my Reader - Nan from Mom's The Word! She's been blogging for quite a while and is sweet, encouraging, and so funny! I know you'll be blessed by her blog! Nan has a linky party on Mondays called Making Your Home Sing Monday. Those posts always encourage me to do better in my own home. I've linked up a few times in the past and it helped me to be more accountable with what I was trying to accomplish. Go say hi to Nan! :)    

SOCIAL: We had a Court of Honor for Boy Scouts this week. Not only is it nice to see what's happening with all the boys, but also a great time to visit with the other parents!

SILLY:  My son mentioned that they were talking about random things in one of their classes. So he asked the teacher - "Don't you think it's weird that our school has a Mrs. Rose *and* a Mrs. Thorne?" The kids found it amusing, but the teacher just shook his head. Just.shook.his.head. Oh Mr. W. - the year has just begun - LOL!! :)

SNAPSHOT: The only pic I took this week happens to be pants. Floral pants from Target. Floral pants in the middle of a lot of other clothing that looks suspiciously like Target employees traveled back in time to my 1980's closet and brought everything back to sell. Has anybody else noticed this?

 SIPS: I decided to have one of my blended coffee drinks, but make it dessert at the same time. I made myself a Chococarmacino! :)

SWEETS: Chocolate chips seemed to be on my brain this week, so when I had a sweets craving I made this yummy treat from my Pinterest board - Ready to Eat Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It's a single serving that you whip up for yourself - dangerous! But I figure it's better than eating a whole batch of cookie dough! :) The link to the recipe doesn't seem to be working and it doesn't come up with a search on the blog it's from, so you'll have to check out my Yummy Treats board and scroll down to find it - the instructions are included.

I hope you enjoyed my 7 things to savor! Now it's your turn! Write a Savor 7 {Saturday} post including these 7 categories and come back here to link up. Please make sure you link to the actual post rather than just your blog. And please include a link back to this post so people can find the link-up! You are also welcome to use the graphic at the top in your post or on your sidebar if you wish. Don't forget to visit another linker or 2 to share some encouragement!
