Lyn, you have no idea what this post did for me today. Have been having a tough time with Mom the past few days, and I am so tired. When I read this post today, I looked up at God and said, “Lord I cannot do this today, but you can.” You know what Lyn, He did!!!! I got it all done, am at home now, and the day went well. I think you reblogged this just for me. I love you for it. God Bless, SR

Praying for you today, for new mercies, and some respite when needed.
Blessings,
Lyn

SO happy to hear from you, SR. You have been on my heart and in my prayers. Going to read your blog now 🙂 ❤
