Happy Friday, Friends! I apologize for the lateness of this post, but we were able to sleep in, and our oldest daughter needed some encouragement from her mom this morning.
How are you? I found it appropriate that today's guided journaling included this quote:
I have felt a calling for a while to be just that (a cheerleader). Seeing this quote was a little bit of a confirmation for me.
This week's prompt encourages us to:
Think of a friend or family member who needs encouragement. Write a few sentences praising his or her character.
I was thinking about this, and I want us to go further and share these thoughts with the person each of us has written about. What do you think?
Do you have any other ideas on how to encourage others?
I hope y'all have a blessed weekend. Our youngest daughter's best friend is getting married tomorrow evening. Please say a little prayer for Amelia (the bride) and her groom!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Hello, Friends! I must confess that I did not take my Happy Today guided journaling book with me on my trip. On Friday I'll post the scripture and writing prompt for this week, but today, I want to share with you something I heard on a national "newscast" by a "commentator." He said that Jesus was not perfect when he was on this earth. Clearly this person does not have a clue... or maybe he does, and has disdain for our Lord and Savior because, as Jesus said, "If the people of this world hate you, just remember that they hated me first" ~John 15:18 (CEV).
What warmed my heart and soul was the instantaneous stream of rebuttals on social media, and these Warriors for Christ responded with scripture. It was beautiful, Friends! Perhaps one of my favorites was the one I posted, above.
I hope you have a super week, and thank-you for praying for travel mercies for us!
Prayer requests?
Until next time...
Blessings!

Hello, Friends! I'm traveling with my girls this weekend, so I am requesting that your pray for travel mercies for us please and thank-you! (I will look at comments on my phone because I won't have much time to be on the Internet.)
This week's prompt:
Write about a time someone encouraged you by listening to your whole story.
I truly appreciate y'all, my Happy Warriors! Y'all have listened to, or at least read, many things from me, especially the challenges we've had with tornado clean-up and recovery. Sometimes my emails get very long-winded (sorry), yet y'all are always so kind and encouraging! Thank-you.
I hope you all have a very lovely autumn weekend with family and friends. Y'all are the best!
Until next time...
Blessings!

Moon carnations
Happy Wednesday, Friends! I wanted to pop in today and give you a little encouragement. First of all, our local grocer had these moon carnations in stock. They had four kinds, and the dark ones are "Moonshade," and the light ones are "Moonaqua." If they have some left next week, I'll try to find the really dark ones called "Moonvista." The darker color is almost a dioxazine purple, a color always on my palette. I use it in shadows, mostly. These carnations are so unique (at least to me) I wanted to share them with my Sweet Friends!
I know that many of us and/or family members are struggling with health issues and other changes that are stressful, so I thought I'd share this verse today:
Ask and believe, Friends!
Until next time...
Blessings!
