Some Favorite Things in February




Happy February dear sisters in Christ! I wanted to just make a fun blog post about some things that I have been enjoying lately.


 

Anne of Green Gables book, part of the puffin in bloom book collection. 



I've really been enjoying re-reading Anne of Green Gables but I am actually reading it alongside a devotional called "The Anne of Green Gables Devotional." This is a Christian devotional that also uses lessons from the book Anne of Green Gables. The Description says, "The Anne of Green Gables Devotional offers lovely inspiration that explores the theme of God’s love and faithfulness through the pages of the classic L. M. Montgomery novel, cherished by generations of readers. Each reading corresponds with a chapter from the book and invites you to embrace God’s redemptive plans for your life as His very own adopted daughter in Christ.

This beautiful 40-day devotional includes original artwork throughout, and each reading includes examples from the novel, scripture, life application, prayers, and discussion questions perfect for groups, book clubs, or personal reflection."

I'm actually reading it just once a week but I am really enjoying it! It is a light devotional but fun and anyone from any denominational background would enjoy it, that is of course, if you also like the Anne of Green Gables book!


Persuasion movie (2007 version)


So believe it or not, I only just recently watched the 2007 version of Persuasion. My daughter was born that year, so I must have just been too busy to have watched it! haha. But, I watched it recently on Amazon Prime and I enjoyed it. I wasn't too crazy about some of the shaky-camera scenes but it was still an enjoyable film.


Wind at My Back TV Series 


Wind at My Back is one of my favorite family-oriented TV shows of all time. The synopsis of the show is: "The bankrupcy of their hardware store forces Jack and Honey Bailey to move their young family to New Bedford, a small town where Jack's affluent family owns a silver mine. When Jack is killed in an accident soon after their arrival, his mother informs Honey that she is no longer welcome in the Bailey home. Knowing that she cannot support her three children on her own, Honey is forced to leave them with her mother-in-law while she looks for work in a nearby town. Set in Ontario in the 1930s, "Wind at My Back" follows Honey, her children and the Bailey family through the era known as the Great Depression." 

Considering the hard economic times and inflation that we are all going through today, this is a great show to help encourage us through difficult times. I also really love the way that most of the women dress in this show. It is modest and feminine. CLICK HERE to watch free episodes.






Whisper Hope album by Mary Beth Carlson (available on Spotify)


This is another album by Mary Beth Carlson that I really enjoy. It is something I listen to often when I am doing my bible studies. It is peaceful and joyful. CLICK HERE to listen on spotify.



The Secret Garden Audiobook Version on Chirp Audiobook app


I just recently finished listening to the Secret Garden as an audiobook on Chirp. This is another favorite childhood book of mine. I might have to write an article soon going into this because I understand what it is like to be bedridden (like Colin was) and then to have to re-gain your physical strength and learn to walk again. It is not easy. The garden brought a lot of joy into their lives, but moreso was the fact that they had each other (Colin, Mary and Dickon). This audioversion I listened to was great, the narrater was perfect. CLICK HERE to buy it on Chirp Audiobooks - if this is your first time purchasing with them you can get it for just $2.00 with THIS LINK.


A New coloring book


Coloring is a hobby that I enjoy. I find it to be fun and relaxing. Each year I like to get at least a few good new coloring books (though I have also gotten some cheaper ones from the dollar stores!) to enjoy. I don't spend a whole lot of time coloring, but I try to color at least once a week or so. Usually on Saturdays I enjoy crafts like coloring, scrapbooking, and writing in my journals. I also like wordsearch books a lot as well. This one is available on Amazon.




I hope that you all have a wonderful February!

In His Grace,

Mrs. Adrienne Jason

    Devotional | The Gift of Mentoring Women on Biblical Womanhood

    Scripture  Titus 2:3-5 KJB  “The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." Mentorship is a powerful way for older Christian women to share their wisdom and experience with the younger generation. It is a beautiful expression of discipleship, fostering growth and godliness in the lives of younger women. Reflection:  Older women have a wealth of knowledge and life experience that can greatly benefit younger women. By mentoring, they can provide guidance, support, and encouragement, helping younger women navigate the challenges of life and faith. This relationship is mutually enriching, as it allows older women to fulfill their God-given role of teachin...

    The Spiritual Source of Smartphone Addiction

    When it comes to understanding the spiritual nature of our smartphone addiction, we need to first of all understand that Satan is the “god of this world” today. He is also known as the “prince of the power of the air” (think not just heavenly places but also airwaves, wifi etc!). Satan is a master deceiver. Though the internet, social media and our smartphones can be used in productive ways to help spread the gospel, it can definitely also be used in unproductive and even harmful ways. “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” - 2 Cor 4:4 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:’ - Eph 2:2 Satan will use several things to try to wreck our spiritual lives including: Constant Distraction At its core, smartphone add...

    Getting Ready for Autumn

    Getting Ready for Autumn Hello dear Sisters in Christ, Today I decorated my house for Autumn. I know it's not officially Autumn yet, but I look forward to this time of the year especially after long hot summers here in Southern Nevada.  I also wore autumn colors today. A Claret colored floral top and a long brown skirt. My planner - time to plan for September! I wanted to share a Picture of a cute doll my husband bought me earlier in the year- he saw it when shopping and said it looked like me! Haha so he bought it. I told him I would wear a similar outfit lol! This little bear came with the doll I recently watched a few films - one was Out of Africa. It's one of my favorites. Starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. The cinematography and soundtrack are amazing. It inspired me to wear this outfit ... I was inspired by this outfit below and I realize it's not quite the same lol, but I did my best with what I have.  More outfits from the film.  The real Karen Blixen that ...
