Sandals Barbados

This trip brought us to the silver sandals and the complimentary couples massage. The massage was amazing!

The food was also amazing! Everything was fresh and prepared well. There were tons of Brits at the resort and the island. Barbados is celebrating 50 years of independence this year but there are definitely strong ties to the UK. 

We did a snorkel dinner cruise with Cool Runnings II and they did a great job. 

I have so many photos and stories to share and I'm planning to do that on my blog this week. 

First though, I have a long list of people I want to thank for the wonderful and welcoming service they provided.

Volunteer

Volunteering opens one up to many possibilities. I met new people. I found interesting businesses. I enjoyed connecting with my neighbors. I also enjoyed a massive bouquet of flowers

Volunteering is good on so many levels: personal, professional, mental, and social. All of these needs are uniquely met with volunteering. I am looking forward to helping again soon. The experiences I have enjoyed are a blessing. Besides the volunteering, I enjoyed the free wine and food.

Beer

Top five for beer:

1) Beer can be paired with food for a taste explosion

2) Beer can be refreshing, especially in the summer

3) Beer can be home brewed, which is a lot of work and can be worth it for some

4) Beer brings people together from a variety of backgrounds

5) Beer is flavorful, especially in the fall

Love this week

1. 1 Pastor Herbert from Peoples Church talked about the greatest commandment was to Love God with all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.
2. 2 The second critical commandment is to Love your neighbor.
3. 3 There’s a lot of hurting people and many will come in contact with me and you.
4. 4 I’m praying for the wisdom and strength to represent God.
5. How will you be living this week?

Wonderful Weekend

The weekends rating is Positive.

Friday, my friend came over and we had fun watching tv, playing Yahtzee and having a few drinks. Saturday, I went to another friend’s house. We watched a movie, ate leftovers, and fresh baked brownies. YUM! It was a lot of fun!

As I tried a new church today, I realized that I don’t need church. I need people who love God, who want to have fun with me, and who want to encourage and possibly push me to love others more. We all need people around us to do the very same things. We help each other out and that’s how God created us, relational beings that need to be with others.

I have let relationships fall aside. Possibly for quite stupid reasons. I now ask for forgiveness and if you want to reopen those doors with me, please email me at estherdavison@rocketmail.com. I welcome opening old friendships and creating new ones. Lets walk life together and try to have some fun too.
