This weekend, Americans around the world are
Kicking off the summer & celebrating Memorial Day –
A day in which we remember those who have
Served our country and given their lives for it!

Like this beautiful wreath
Made up of miniature American flags!

Debbie – Easy Natural Food

Easy Natural Foods - Double Chocolate Date & Almond Cookies

This week Debbie has shared an amazing
Cookie recipe with us.
I love a good oxymoron.
Can you say “healthy decadence?!”

Laura – Beholding Glory
Essay: Divine Proportion

Beholding Glory - Divine Proportions

One of my favorite TV shows this year was Touch.
In this series, Kiefer Southerland is the father
Of a gifted boy named Jake, who cannot speak
But who sees the world as a place where everyone
And everything is connected by numbers.

I was reminded of this show as I was reading
Laura’s essay Divine Proportions –
The latest in her series
Creation Revealing The Glory Of God.

Be sure to check out the rest of the articles in Laura’s series
And to join her for Faith Filled Fridays!

      There is nothing that makes me happier than seeing red-white-blue food on a patriotic holiday (except, perhaps, a rousing display of evening fireworks!)

    Thank you for hosting! Hope you have an amazing and inspirational week:)

  18. McGuffyAnn says:

    Memorial Day inspires me…the sacrifices that have been made, so that we can do the things we do. I hope that Americans teach their children what it really is all about. The BBQs and Summer start is wonderful, as is family time and togetherness…but some of these American heroes never even came home. Please read my post. Thanks for giving us a chance to share.

  19. Tulip says:
