Better, Not Bitter

In junior high, when I was living the life of a teen in the midst of a broken, sometimes violent and often empty home, I wandered to the little church kitty-corner from my house on occasion to attend their youth…

God is not worried. He's not up in heaven ringing God is not worried. He's not up in heaven ringing his hands, wondering how everything is going to turn out. If he is not worried, you can keep a calm heart and trust him totally.

Today would’ve been my mother’s birthday. 🎂 Today would’ve been my mother’s birthday. 🎂 If she were still alive, we would have done our usual outing of Goodwill shopping and antique hunting while sipping a pumpkin spice latte, her favorite.🎃🧡☕️ But as much as she was a woman known for pumpkin spice, I knew her more as a woman who prayed. She prayed for her family. She prayed for her friends. She even prayed for those who hurt her most. When she passed away, I found her prayer list, scribbled on one of the many notepads she received from her donations to various veterans’ organizations. Two things about it stuck out to me. 🧡 She wasn’t fancy. She simply prayed. She listed 40 people in her life and prayed for them by name each day. 🧡 Secondly, you might not be able to see it from the photo, but the 40th person — the one she listed last— was herself. That’s what kind of human she was. She was always putting others first. 🎁 My mom also loved to give fun, themed gifts. So for her birthday, I’m giving one of you this pumpkin spice and prayer giveaway. It includes: 🧡A bag of @peetscoffee in pumpkin spice, of course 🧡 Some yummy pumpkin spice wafer rolls from her favorite grocery store @aldiusa 🧡 A box of fun pumpkin-themed under eye patches 🧡 A handheld milk frother with stand for making the perfect frothy latte at home 🧡 My favorite prayer journal from @valmariepaper —the signature prayer journal (a $35 value) It is in the lovely shade of apricot, but I like to think of it as the color “pumpkin spice.”😉 Total value: $65.
