Category: Thankful Thursdays

Thankful for silly, pee-in-your-pants moments. The ones that make your stomach hurt afterwards. That was us four this week, fooling around with that Snapchat face swap wacky app. Hilarious! I saved the pics and videos (I’ll spare you though). They make me laugh every time. Unsettling world my friends; laughter is welcome. ? Wishing all…

Today’s Thankful Thursday post comes to you courtesy of my good friend Liana: “The Lord has always been a very big part of my life and I could not have made it through this first week of my husband’s passing without His love and strength. I was able to be strong for the boys, my…

Nothing worse than losing a loved one. Nothing like faith and hope to help us through it. And nothing better than a great support system to comfort the mournful heart.

Thankful for angels. Those amazing beings who carry out God’s tasks, guiding us or bringing us messages. Don’t you just love those inexplicable and oh so timely connections? Blessings in disguise, my friends, no doubt about it. What are you thankful for today? “[Saint Anthony] said, in his solitude, he sometimes encountered devils who looked…

For life’s simple pleasures: grilled  sandwiches. No downside to this golden brown, buttery, gooey, crunchy, ultimate comfort food. And they’re even better when had in good company.
