LiveSisterLive: 7 days to Feast Her

Proverbs 15:15 For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast. (New Living Translation of the Bible)

Next week is Easter Sunday so I'm taking time today to look at ways that I can grow spiritually and feed my life in better ways. 

How am I living life like it matters?  To feast me, I'm doing a lot more to celebrate my life and the purpose for which my life exists.  I'm looking for the ways to enjoy the small things and the great things.

Yesterday I received a call from a close friend, from my home town, and as a result we call each other cousins.  Her call to ask me to join her in a feast (really meal) was so welcomed. I had let go of some of what should matter to my life, like getting out in the sunshine. I had already lost time to the morning consumed with some projects I was working and had lost sight of time, including the time to support a sister at the services for her husband.


We had a great time of feasting over conversation and a meal, catching each other up on life and what was happening in her life. I felt rejuvenated, because the meal and the conversation fed me with ideas and truly lifted me.

For the next 7 days to Easter I'm on a Feast Her plan too.

Today's feast was filled with a great sermon that helped me think about ways to continue to live out my purpose to help women live lives that matter.  I took time to pray for others and for a situation impacting relationships.  While God is what will matter first and most today, I'm going to get outside again, going to create a wonderful feast for Sunday dinner and enjoy what I have been given.

Whether with family or friends or just doing your own thing, join me in my Feast Her Plan and share a meal with family or friends this week, around a table to reflect on what it takes to live life like it matters. 

Happy Feast Her and a Blessed Easter to you!
