The Boni Bunch: What's YOUR glue?

What's YOUR glue?

Linking up (a day late) for Lisa-Jo's Five Minute Friday post!! Yesterday was an INSANELY busy day. It started just after 6am and I didn't get any time to just sit and relax AT ALL... went and went all day long until I got off work at midnight! SO, needless to say, blogging didn't happen. So, today, I will write a "Six Minute Saturday" instead of a Five Minute Friday!!

Don't know what this FMF blogging program thing is? Well, click on the link above OR... put simply, a couple hundred bloggers come together every Friday to write about one topic. We all write our thoughts about the prompt topic for FIVE minutes- unscripted, unedited... raw blogging!

Today's topic: GLUE

Without further ado... My Six-minute Saturday:

START:

What's your Glue? When I read the topic we are to write about, this question came into my head. First my thought was "Elmer's, of course!" LOL, but then I just HAD to think a little more deep than just the basic crafting goo!

Everyone has something that motivates them. Something that keeps them going in life. Something that HOLDS THEM TOGETHER!

What is your glue?

Is it your spouse/significant other?
Is it your children?
Is it your parents?
Is it a special friend?
Is it your church family?
Is it God??

What keeps you going every day?

Surely I am not alone here, but there are days that I just don't want to get out of bed and face life. BUT my glue keeps me together. My glue gets me out of bed, helps me get the kids functioning and to school ON TIME every day, helps me keep the house picked up. There are days when I don't feel like I've got it together at all, but my glue says otherwise. I have a "super glue" that doesn't wear off or go away under pressure!

My "Super Glue" is super because it's made up of several different things! My glue is made of my kids, my wonderful hubby, my friends, AND MY GOD! My glue is so strong that when I feel weak, it is there to remind me that I am whole and complete and able to face anything that wants to tear me apart!

I love my glue!

SO.... what's your glue?

STOP

I love this post and I love the Six Minute Saturday idea! Wow! I'm so thankful for Lisa Jo and her Five Minute Fridays! What a wonderful way to connect and share in one another's creative writing adventures! And how many times I have missed it and thought about doing it late on Saturday, but didn't. Thanks for jarring me out of my box and helping me to see that just because it isn't Friday doesn't mean a thing! Have a blessed Resurrection Weekend! And thanks for sharing your wonderful post! <3

My glue is definitely my faith in GOD! I love my family, kids and husband BUT if were not for GOD my life would be UNSTUCK!

Visiting from FMF: I love your thoughts about "what's your glue?" What holds you together when you are falling apart? This was such a crazy word prompt for today, but I am always challenged with each Five Minute Friday word and what I read on other's blogs inspires me too! So, thank you for your thoughtful words. God is my glue and I need Him more than ever!

I love the idea of "super glue" when you have multiple sources holding you together. Great take on the prompt, Boni Lady! Thanks for stopping by my post earlier!

And Six Minute Saturday, think I'll end up using that in the future! <3

I love this thought, "what's your glue?" We do all have certain things that keep us going and it has to be something bigger than ourselves!
Thanks for sharing.
*stopping by from FMF - only 2 days late - mine is a Seven Minute Sunday :)
