“Jesus said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to people that are like these little children.'” Mark 10:14b
A few topics in the table of contents:
A seasonal premier issue packed with chic entertaining ideas, vintage updates, and colorful pics of garden whimsy is sure to be a success.
In searching for photos I stumbled across another Friday Fave — Dutch Door Cottage, who also featured this magazine in an earlier post.
“I pray for you every single day.”
The weight of those seven words tempt me to pull the car into a nearby parking lot. Why? Because I know she means it.
You see, the woman on the other end of the phone is an incredibly talented writer. I have no doubt we’ll one day be reading her delightful stories to Piper — but the significance of her daily prayers for me, and for other writers, is found in the fact that she and her husband suffer from great physical pain, yet we are on her mind every day.
Her seven words were timely — only God knew to what extent — but isn’t that the beauty of continual prayer?
How ironic that our conversation occurred one day prior to the two year anniversary of my grandmother’s passing. She too prayed for me on a daily basis and reminded me of it often. I’d forgotten the power those seven words held until I heard them again yesterday.
God’s mighty hand moves in power when we pray — and it surges forth when we share with others specific ways we’re praying for them.
Who are we praying for on a regular basis and when’s the last time we told them?
I went in search of a new groomer for Rupert, our spoiled but oh-so-cute Lhasa Apso.
After days of perusing the internet for reviews on local groomers, I found Cleveland Park East Animal Hospital in Simpsonville.
Based on the site, I felt it may be a keeper — and my visit on Friday confirmed it. In the process, I learned a few lessons on how our actions consistently speak louder than mere words:
Their words were comforting, helpful, and insightful – but it’s their actions that will keep me coming back. As a matter of fact, I may just switch over to Cleveland Park for both vet and groomer services based on the above observations.
Our actions reveal more than our words ever will.
What will our actions reveal about us today?
Views while “working” on a writing project this weekend.
Spectacular.
