If I could have tea with you today,
I'd ask if you've been reading anything good lately.
I'm always looking for a good book recommendation. I just finished book #2 in Richard Paul Evans' Mistletoe series. They are stirring holiday stories of people overcoming hard, real-life circumstances to find hope again. Because of the beautiful, yet believable settings and holiday details, I find myself hungry for stuffing, pecan pie, and dinner rolls. They are cozy books, each with a strong and inspiring moral that gives me food for thought for days afterward.
I'd say, soldier on, dear friend!
We do not often know, during our everyday faithfulness, that what we are doing is eternally paying off. We must have faith! We must believe that God is using us, through His mighty grace. This very thought rescues us from despair. We follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. We obey. We accept His working in our hearts. We apologize. We repent. We listen to His nudges. We try again. His grace is so much more than enough. And, He is working. Truly, He is working. We must soldier on, armed with that Truth.
I'd hug you.
When no one notices your sacrifices, when no one sees how hard you're working, and when you are just plain tired, I'm thankful that you are in my life. There's just something about a hug.
I'd inquire if you are enjoying autumn.
