F.R.O.G.

When I was recovering from my recent back surgery, Yvette sent me this little package of "happies" to cheer me up. :)



Thanks, Yvette!:)

Yvette loves to tease me with frogs, because she knows how much I dislike them.

I put the Fozzie Bear that she gave me with my Fozzie Bear collection. (I have issues.)

The little frog key chain (which by the way when you squeeze it, it makes the funniest sounds) I decided to use as a Christmas ornament. I thought it would be a nice reminder every year of Yvette's unbelievable kindness to me.

Sigh.

But the little bag full of colorful plastic frogs, I had no idea what to do with.......until now.

Since several bloggy buddies pointed out to me that "frog" in the Christian world stands for "Fully Rely On God," I decided to use these disgusting little colorful frogs as a reminder for me to do just that.



So, I placed them in different spots around my home, so that I would constantly be reminded to focus and fully rely on God, as opposed to focusing on the circumstances that are happening around me and only relying on myself or others.

Here is one of the frogs at my computer desk....



On the table beside the couch....



In the kitchen....



In the bathroom....



(I'll just need you to ignore the hair on the sink. Thanks!)

I even hid one in the laundry room....



And last, but certainly not least, I placed one on my bedside table. That way I would see the frog when I first wake up in the morning, and it would be the last thing I see each night as I go to sleep.



As long as the frogs stay out of my toilet (click here to read about that nightmare), I think I will be okay with them all over my home. ;)

Proverbs 3:5
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;"



Thank you, Dianne, for this beautiful picture.
