... Even the worst heartaches can become heartstrings to God's hope, comfort, encouragement, joy, peace and love...

Welcome! As a fan of the cartoon character Maxine, I enjoy her witty remarks. But when I
read my blogs & other writing to her, she's not very responsive- even when I'm wearing my bunny slippers like hers! She just doesn't get it!
Although she's funnier than I am, I do pray that this site will bring encouragement to your day! I'd love to hear from you! Unlike Maxine, you can leave me a message via the Comments. Shalom, Connie

Blessing Basket

Thanksgiving time is a wonderful to remind you that YOU are uniquely special- there is only one you!

Several years ago I began using a Blessing Bowl, but I soon found that it wasn't big enough.
Now I use a basket, but an old cookie jar would work also. For my basket I found some ribbon that said Blessings on it, and laced it into the basket.
I write my blessings on small strips of paper throughout the year. Then on my down, sad, dreary, not-so-good days and on Thanksgiving I read them one by one. I remember good times, unexpected blessings, special people in my life, and the simple things in life that we easily take for granted.

This Thanksgiving Day I will be remembering you, my readers, and I will ask God to bless you in a profound... can't deny it... way during this holiday season.

Tomorrow: What are you thankful for?

Selah-

Shalom, Connie
