What a lovely message in this post! I needed to be reminded of those wonderful verses today. :o)
What a wonderful post, thank you! The pie looks so good too! 🙂
oh sweet girls. so needed this. we have a little issue going on in our house and i’m spending a lot of time on my knees.
Maybe..there’s a way to put a prayer linky on the right or something like that that we could throw our name in for prayer requests so we could all pray the list – no need for details – just a name to lift up or blog name?
Regardless, i’m so enjoying this blog so far ladies. 🙂
Wonderful and inspiring! So happy I stopped by today!
