7 Quick Takes Friday

1) There's something so wonderful about people from all over the globe, coming together (albeit "virtually-speaking") and uplifting and encouraging one another in their family life journeys. This was the privilege and honor I had earlier today as I hosted a "chat" session for our "I Surrender" online Book Club page on Facebook. We have women from France, Spain, all parts of the USA, Australia, and even a woman who stayed up til 11 pm HER time ...in CHINA...so that she could join us at 11 am our time here in the EST USA. It was amazing! We are each unique and all so different and yet...bonded in CHRIST...we are very much the SAME. AWESOME, how God lets us learn from one another in order to grow closer to Him, isn't it?

2) Got a new "cover" on my Facebook page. FB is switching everyone to a new type of personal page called "Timeline". This makes your page have more of a "bloggy" look than the original pages on FB which basically just looked like a list of posts. Anyway, I hired a designer (whose price was SO inexpensive that I felt like I'd gotten a free gift after I saw his marvelous work!) to design a new cover for me...which is the "header" at the top of my page. I LOVE what this gentleman created and I hope you'll stop by my "Judy Dudich" page on FB and take a look. Further, if YOU would like a cover designed...just email me...I am HAPPY to recommend someone who is so talented and offers his service at such a low price. (I suspect that he will most likely raise his prices when the work starts rolling in...which, I know, it will, when people get wind of his talent...so...I wouldn't wait TOO long if you are interested).

3) I'm not so sure how healthy those flavored-instant-powdered coffee-drinks are...but I suuuuure do love "Cafe Vienna"! The aroma, itself, is so calming and soothing...if I don't want to drink the coffee...I'd be almost as happy just "sniffing" it all day :)

4) My sweet, darling Benjamin Luke...my BABY...is turning FIVE on February 11th.


5) The previous Quick Take is enough to make me cry for a month.

6) That said, it IS a JOY to see my little one becoming such a "big boy".


7) Babies and children are truly the GREATEST gift/blessing that God bestows upon His people.
