Five Minute Friday: Visit

I just turned the music on, have a cup of water to drink before bed and ready to write. It is time for Five Minute Friday and today's prompt is VISIT. 

There are three widows in my church that are very near and dear to my heart. Every Sunday or Wednesday when I am at church and see them I have to go to them and hug their neck and talk to them. One of them always gets on to me for never having my sweater. I learn and glean much from these ladies, while at the same time I receive a blessing from them. Right before my Christmas break I was able to go visit two of them. One was more with a group to go caroling, the other I planned to be at her house for 30 minutes tops--since I had to do laundry, pack, straighten up a few things at the house I was house-sitting at, and go home to make my bed and get some sleep. I was at her house for almost two hours just chatting, and what a blessing I received sitting in her living room. My goal for the new year, at least once a month is to visit one if not all these ladies in their home. I can't image how lonely they get since they no longer have a husband. I am 30 years old and live by myself, and I get lonely...I can't imagine how it is for a 60+ year old. 

On the other hand, I love when people come over to my house. I enjoy opening my home up to others and cooking them a yummy meal, play games, or even watch a movie. It not only motivates me to really clean my house, but to also be a blessing to others. My other goal for the year is to have people over more, and different people rather than the same people all the time. So enjoy a few pics of a glimpse into my living room (its really the only part of the house that is presentable at the moment). ;) I also couldn't resist sharing a pic of my fish Gershwin! =)

I love how this pic came out! It is one fish--but the reflection of Gershwin . He is almost a year old!
