Holiday Preparation Encouragement

November 8, 2017 by Barbara

How can we think about celebrating the holidays and holiday preparation when there is so much sadness in the news? It’s difficult to get in a festive mood with all that is going on in our world today. The holidays are a sad time for so many. They are sad for me too.

June 8, 2017 by Barbara

Are you part of a family that is perfect? I didn’t think so. Mine isn't perfect either. Maybe your family is happy and everyone gets along well.

Welcome!


Hi Friend, Welcome to my corner of the online world, where I write to encourage and give hope. I believe everyone could use a dose of hope from time to time so whether you need hope for your marriage, your closet, or anything in between, I hope you find some encouragement here.

Having been through some hard situations, I understand what it's like to live hopeless, depressed, angry, and bitter until God rescued me in His Love and Grace.
