2. A great book you've read or movie you enjoy that features brothers? How about the Sound of Music. There were some brothers in the family.
3. Something you think is overrated? Target Something you think is underrated? Walmart
4. How much does your past shape you? I think it plays a big part in who I am. What parts have shaped you the most? I think the fact that I was raised in a Christian home had a big impact on my life and my spiritual life.
5. What's your favorite simple pleasure? I know I say this all the time, but just being with my husband is the best to me.
6. Insert your own random thought here. You know, I think if we would all do what this verse below says, we'd be so much better off.

What a beautiful family! Your brothers sound pretty amazing. I am sorry your oldest brother had to leave this earth so soon. So has my oldest brother passed on in 2019. I still have another older brother, and he's pretty amazing too. My only concern is that I'm not 100% sure he knows the Lord. He grew up in church just like I did, but he seems to be leaning on his good works as opposed to faith in Christ...so that is a concern to me. I just pray that God knows his heart and that he will do whatever it takes to wake him up before it's too late. I pray that our whole family will be in heaven one day. I love the quote you posted from John 2:5. Yes, if we would just "do whatever He (Jesus) tells us to do", we would live a much better and happier life. Blessings to you today.
ReplyDeleteHi Pam. My older brother lived a long time before he gave his life to Christ but I know as sure as I'm sitting here he is with Jesus right now. Praying your brother will give his life to Jesus too.
DeleteI love the the simple pleasure of just being with my husband as well.
ReplyDeleteI never even thought of the sound of music. Good answers!
I don't know why it popped into my head, but that's about the only one I could think of.
DeleteSweet picture of your family 'back when.' Let me guess, you're the one in yellow? The Sound of Music Is still one of my favorite films!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm in the yellow.
DeleteI haven't watched The Sound of Music in a long time but do have the DVD. I need to get it out and queued up. Such a nice picture of your family. I lost my only brother 20 years ago. Miss him still. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss too.
DeleteNot sure if you are following the 'issue' with Target currently, but I read today Target is removing some of the merchandise people were up in arms about, or at least moving it to the back of the store in some cities so that's good news. I just scratch my head wondering at the person who decided to go the route they did. I don't shop at Target since there isn't one in our area anyway.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the issues that are going on until after I had written and posted this. So this didn't have anything to do with that. I've just never really cared for Target. I much prefer shopping at Walmart. But that's just me. As for the issues, I'm glad to hear they are making some attempts at least to change some of what they've done.
DeleteI enjoyed reading about your brothers and your relationship with them. Since we moved to the country and since Wal-Mart is our one option for a department style store, I've really bonded with it. Sound of Music is a fun choice for a brother movie! I didn't think of that. Hope the rest of your week is good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen and I hope you have a great day.
DeleteI had a brother named Jeff too! He was older than me by 9 years and I loved him so much, he was like a second dad. Sadly, cancer took him 20 years ago, he knew the Lord, so I know where he is, and I look forward to seeing him again someday. I love your answer to #5, I feel the same way about Mr D.
ReplyDeleteMy brother died from cancer too. It is very comforting to know where they are, for sure.
DeleteHi Kathy, I have one brother and he is the baby of the family. Sorry you lost your brother. I was thinking of the movie 7 Brides or 7 Brothers.
ReplyDeleteLovely answer on your brothers. Sorry your older brother is gone. How wonderful that he walked over half of the Appalachian Trail. ((Hugs)) Your younger brother sounds wonderful too. Sounds of music is a good pick. Yes, being raised a Christian definitely impacted how you are today. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers this week!
