We were not designed by our Heavenly Father to go it alone. We all need help. We all need accountability. We all need encouragement and wise counsel.

So is there an area in your living experience that needs help?
Wise Counsel?
Accountability?
Do you need a plan for getting the chaos out of your life and peace in?

God has already set things in place for you to get all the help you need — just ask.

November 2.

A very special day for me. Seventeen years ago today a man-child was born – my first-born GRAND. I gladly gave him my heart, he still has it – albeit he does have to share :) now.  Happy Birthday, Jeff. Your Mamaw loves you!!

Yesterday I said I was thankful for clean clothes.

Today (day 2) I say I am thankful for candles, highly fragrant and made in the USA ones.

Some translations read candle, and some read lamp; my ‘considered’ opinion is that lamp is most appropriate but for the sake of congruity here, read candle for lamp in the passages following.  (  :) humor me)
