A lemon for my thoughts-

My thoughts might not be worth a lemon. Would a lemon be more or less than a penny? Actually, I'll just give them to you for free, you can keep the lemon.......We recently watched the Disney movie "Meet the Robinsons". Really, we don't watch movies all the time! Okay, often but not all day long! But, the reason I mention it is because I almost get teary-eyed every time that I've ever watched it. It's silly, clever & fun with a happy ending of course. The little boy, Lewis, is an orphan who is always inventing things. In the end, he is finally adopted after coming back from the future. He finds his family in unexpected places or should I say, they find him (makes more sense when you watch it of course).  Part of the message of the movie is keep moving forward and we learn much more from our failures than from success. I also have a weak spot for music, so I thought I'd share a song with you as well- I can't quite pin point why, but I really like the song at the end of the movie. Here's a link to the song- if I've peaked your interest at all.

Little Wonders- by Rob Thomas

......What will you do with these small hours we have? From my experience, if I trust and follow Jesus with all my heart, he'll reveal little wonders in unexpected places. Here's my short list: persevere through challenges, have patience, encourage others, be humble, hug my kiddos every chance I get!

Thanks for humoring me and listening to my ramblings-

    1. Thanks for checking it out! It might be very short lived. I guess it's my writing outlet for now :)

  2. It actually becomes kind of a nice way to get thoughts out. Plus when I read other people's it makes me realize we all go through similar walks in life!
