Thankful

This Thanksgiving, I am grateful to God for all the gifts 2020 has given me. More time to pray, time to take long walks with my husband, time to paint, and time to be with my family. 2020 has given me clarity on the important things. Health, kindness, forgiveness, and Ellen's apple pie, made with one of every "type" of apple, and love.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Simple Sunday

Thanksgiving is going to look very different this year; my heart is heavy, and I will miss my people that will not be at my table.
I will be present and hold everyone close in spirit, with a grateful heart and a thankful attitude as I thank God for all of His blessings.

God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1

Mighty Monday!

On Saturdays, Boom will often pick up the grandkids because he wants to see them. On some Saturdays, they go through the car wash and drop by Target for a new toy. Some Saturdays, they grab a dozen donuts and play in the park. This past Saturday, he picked up some Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and brought them to our place to cook, color, and have some chuckles.

I can't help to think about the huge impact a grandpa has on a child's life.

Do you have anything at all to tell about your shell?
Only this, my child,
when the sun is hot, and the wind is wild, it's all I've got.

Pearls of wisdom. It’s not so much what you say that counts; it’s how you make people feel.
