It is Wednesday, so it must be time for a Hodgepodge of info! Thanks so much to Joyce at From This Side of the Pond for our weekly questions.
1. Did you watch the Super Bowl? Did your team win? What's your favorite game day snack for whatever sport is happening? I watched the commercials haha! I did watch some of the game! We didn't have a team. We live in the south and SEC sports are huge so we don't have a pro team. Sometimes we like one or another - especially if an Auburn player has ended up on a team. We didn't make any game day snacks since it was just us, but I love Buffalo Chicken dip -- actually, I love most dips. Our kids love wings and boiled peanuts! We served neither when they were growing up and BOTH of our kids love them!! Did y'all see the He Gets Us commercial? Whether you agree with them or not, it is cool that Jesus got mentioned! Oh my goodness - I keep coming back to add more to this answer. The "I am somebody" commercial just made me cry!!!!
2. What's your 'superpower'? I don't think I have any super powers! Mark and I are very hospitable, but I've never heard of that superpower haha!
3. Will you do anything special on Valentine's Day? If so do share. Any thoughts on/about this particular holiday? Share a favorite verse or quote relating to love. Our lives have been so topsy turvy that we haven't even talked about V-Day! I sent some treats to all three granddaughters via their parents yesterday. We are going to our neighborhood supper club on Saturday night. I actually bought myself some tulips today!!
4. Are you a fan of the rom-com genre? If so what's one of your favorites? If you're not a movie go-er then what about a book you love that features a great love story? How about a favorite love song? I do enjoy a good rom-com! Sometimes I will watch one when Mark is at the farm. I love The Proposal! It is a cute movie. I also love Pretty Woman. Have you ever read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers? It is not your traditional fictional love story. It is based on the book of Hosea from the Bible and it is soooo good!
5. Let's get creative...write an acrostic using the word
L-O-V-E.
L is for the Love He gives.
O is for Over the top grace poured out
V is because that Love and Grace is aVailable for
Everyone
I know that isn't a true acrostic but it is what popped into my head . . .so it is what I typed!!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I think that being hospitable is a super power! (I think the term is used very loosely- at least that's how I chose to view it :)). I had never thought of the south being more into SEC sports than pro but that makes sense. We have a number of cities not too far from us that have pro football teams so pro football is big here. Your dinner Saturday sounds fun. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWe can almost always tell when someone is a "transplant" to our state . . .when they are more into pro football than SEC :-). I hope you have a great day!!
DeleteI do think hospitality is your superpower. And not everyone has that gift, which I think is so appreciated. I grew up outside of Philly so felt invested in the game's outcome. We are mostly all about the SEC too. Now I want to go buy tulips. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGo buy some tulips and enjoy!!
DeleteI'm always torn on going to Superbowl parties because I always feel like I miss the commercials, which I did this year. I can't remember a single one!
ReplyDeleteI love the commercials during the super bowl!!
DeleteI liked you acrostic!! Entertaining can certainly be considered a super power! Joyce gave us another fun Hodgepodge!! Have a blessed week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI agree - Joyce does such a great job each and every week!
DeleteHi, oh tulips... I love tulips.
ReplyDeleteI like your LOVE.
And I like Snoopy too.
Tulips and Snoopy - we agree!
DeleteHospitality can often require super powers lol!
ReplyDeleteYes, it can! Thanks so much for visiting!!
DeleteBuying yourself flowers is a great way to show love to yourself, I will often treat myself. I think hospitality is a superpower, it takes a lot of patience and kindness. Happy Valentine's Day to you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you (tomorrow)!!
DeleteHow funny, I've got a post about SB commercials coming up. Yes, "He gets us" was darn powerful. I hope others thought so, too. I can't remember the "I am somebody", but will Google that.
ReplyDeleteHosea was one of my favorite Jennifer Rothschild Bible studies, so I'm making a note to look for that book.
If you love the book of Hosea . . .I hope you find the book and read it!
DeleteI think that hospitality is a way to display other spiritual gifts, such as mercy, serving, giving, and evangelizing. Not everyone can do what you do and God uses your hospitality to bring joy to so many.
ReplyDeleteI have to grocery shop on Friday so I might treat myself to either tulips or dark chocolate - maybe both!
Have a good week.
Debby
