So please pray for this family who will never be the same. There are more painful moments ahead.

If you want to see more of Rebecca’s writing, you can do so here.

“Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.” (Romans 12:15)

Happy Birthday to all the November babies!

“We will never be able to properly thank everyone who has been such a blessing to our family,” the family said in a prepared statement. “Church members, businesses, neighbors, and even strangers who have given of themselves through prayers, meals, and a shoulder to cry on. Such kindness has held us up in the hardest days of our lives.

“In the coming weeks, we will watch and pray for our judicial system as it works to bring healing to our grieving community. Thank you for continuing to pray for us. If you don’t know the eternal confidence that comes only from faith in Jesus, talk to us, and we will gladly share the joy of a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe. He can use even the darkest hours like this to show others that Jesus.”

The service is this Tuesday. Please pray God's grace, strength, and protection over them.

For Rebecca, the girl who loved her drinks! 😊

She never stopped hoping or dreaming even when the clouds in her world darkened. A bright light went out of the world, but new lights ignite with her children. And will with her grandchildren.

You will be greatly missed...

C'mon in and enjoy the laugh! Better yet, help contribute to the laughs by sharing your family-friendly memes 😃

... do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

"Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?"

~Exodus 15:11

"Use what you have, use what the world gives you. Use the first day of fall: bright flame before winter's deadness; harvest; orange, gold, amber; cool nights and the smell of fire."

Happy & Blessed Sunday Friends!

SEASON OF GRATITUDE

This morning as I sit with Sammy curled up next to me, watching the birds at the feeder outside my window, enjoying my coffee, I'm pondering my daily gratitude. I'm thankful for so much. As I thought I prayed for the Lord to reveal something I've never thought about before and I chuckled at what he shared.

Back when I was a kid, growing up, we didn't communicate with technology. If I wanted to connect with my neighbor friends, I would ask my parents for permission, walk over, knock on the door, ask for my friend and then we would go off and do our thing.

When together, we used our imagination to come up with our entertainment. We climbed up and down the hay bales in the barn. We ran through the tall grass. We climbed trees. And when hungry, we headed back to whoever's house was closest for snacks.

Such a carefree childhood. Full of fun, playfulness and simple things. We didn't discuss any social media, TV shows besides Little House on the Prairie. We didn't bring cell phones and take pictures. We just lived in the experience of that moment.

I'm so grateful for growing up in that time. I cherish the simplicity of being a kid back then and the fun memories the Lord brought back to me on this Sunday morning.

As I walked through these memories, I could feel my body relax, heart rate slow, spirit lifted and my face smiling. Thank you, Lord, for this wonderful reminder today. I cherish these fond and playful memories with immense gratitude.

May you, my Friends, take a moment today and reflect on a childhood memory that brings you great joy and gratitude too!

"All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."
2 Corinthians 4:15
