Good morning, sweet Rise and Shine friends!

Goodness, it is good to be on here with you.

These last two weeks have been quite difficult.

My beautiful sister, Angela, has been having some health challenges.

She is on her second stint in the hospital, and it has been quite the roller coaster.

Without getting into too many details, I would love to ask my sweet friends to pray for her healing.

Before logging on to write, I read the post that I wrote right before this one, not knowing what was to come with my sister.

Goodness gracious.

Rise and Shine, sweet friend!

September is here! Are we so ready for Fall?

Don’t get me wrong, I love Summer! It is my favorite!

However, the smell of Fall is delicious and wonderful!

I think I will spend today getting my pumpkins and Fall decor rounded up.

A little fun change may be just what this home and my heart needs. :)

God has designed me to be a very cheerful, upbeat, and glass half-full kind of girl.

I don’t like to watch any movie or tv show that is sad, or really even read or watch the news. My heart cannot bear it.

I have to tread very lightly over things like this.

However, lately, there have been some tough days with sad news involving very dear friends.

For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. Romans 11:36

Rise and Shine, sweet friend!

Guess what?

It is FRIDAY!! Yippee!!

I mean, who doesn’t love a Friday?

Oh friend, I hope you know how much I think of you and pray for you.

You are constantly on my mind and in my heart.

Desperately, I long for you to experience Jesus, intimately, personally, and sweetly.

Many of us have a skewed view of Jesus due to many factors.
