If it’s Wednesday it must be time for the Hodgepodge. Thank you, Joyce.
1. What do you like most about your family?
The different Gifts that God has given to individual members of our family and how it enhances our times together. We have peacemakers, servants, caregivers, loyal friends. We also have those who display gentleness, wisdom, discernment, faith, generosity, courage, wit, a sense of humor and above all love. We all have ongoing areas that God is sanctifying in us like humility, patience, and forgiveness, to name a few. None of us are perfect but hopefully we’ll cooperate with the Holy Spirit in growing us up in our faith and obedience to be more like Christ.
5. Let’s wrap this one up with an October this or that…
- pumpkin bread or apple cider donut
- cozy sweater or cozy hoodie
- apple picking or pumpkin picking
- scary movie or Hallmark movie
- hay ride or corn maze
- twinkle lights or candles
- autumn hike or autumn bonfire
My answers are highlighted in Bold.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
These two found a huge boulder while they were digging to China!

Enjoyed reading your answers and seeing your photos. When I first saw the grandkids with their shovels and the huge rock, I thought I´d just seen the strongest kids in the world. Then I saw the equipment that moved the rock :). That thing is huge!! Your answer to question four is so true. Thanks for your thoughts on that. I agree with you! Love the bag from Scotland. What a great gift! Your answer to one is so good as well. Have a great day!
The sunset is gorgeous. Cute shot of your grands! Take care, have a great day!
Liked this post! Just before I got to the end, my thoughts were as a child that would have been called digging to, and there you said it! ~ Rosie
I love your bag! Two of my friends were there this summer and made bags and they’re so pretty. I like and agree with your answer to #4. I sort of forgot (we never really forget this) that it’s been five years since the Covid mess, and didn’t think of that when I wrote the question. Your grands look like they are lovin’ life! Have a great day!
…October is my favorite color!
It sounds like you have a wonderful family.
That bag is beautiful, what a lovely gift.
How exciting for the kids to find such a bit boulder!
I love your bag. The colors are fun.
Thank you for saying what you did for your #4! Well said, and I pray that the common sense stays with us.
I also enjoyed your random.

Well that made me smile. I can just imagine the fun they had with that boulder. Love the sunset:) B x
Boulder out, Kids in!
Wow, fun times in the dirt! That is one big rock!
Wonderful answer about what you like best about your family! I like that thought that each member has their own gifts and talents and all can work together. What a blessing! The bag from Scotland is lovely – what a lovely surprise! I totally agree with your answer to #4 – very well said. It’s funny I didn’t think about what the lockdown was like for my family five years ago (we were living in one of the more strict and ridiculous states so it was quite miserable) yet I often say when the topic comes up, “never forget what they did to us, and never let it happen again”. I think the experience has taught many of us to value our rights and freedoms more. Hope you’re having an amazing week!
