Scripture of the Week: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Happy Thursday Friends :)

I hope you're all having a great week, and that the Lord is doing amazing things in your life and your faith.

I ended up taking a few days off from blogging and social media and the like to spend a few days at the lake with my family. We started visiting this particular lake resort almost twenty years ago, and those few days of the summer were some that we all ended up looking forward to each and every year. Unfortunately, because of my schedule being kind of crazy the last few summers, I hadn't actually been able to go with my family since 2016! I was so thankful it worked out for me to go this year, and I decided to try and enjoy every moment of time spent with family, and so I ended up not doing my usual Monday and Wednesday posts. Everything will be back to normal now though, and today I'm here with this week's edition of Scripture of the Week. 

I'm so thankful that I took the leap to start this weekly scripture share, and I hope it's reaching someone who needs these words as much as I did.

Today's verse is especially suited for all the loneliness we're currently experiencing because of all the social isolation. It reminds us to surround ourselves with others who can lift us up, and always remember that even if you physically can't be around family and friends, it's still important to stay connected through phone calls, emails, text messages, face time, whatever way you're able to. It's not a sign of weakness to need others, and instead, it's something we're actually Biblically instructed to do. 

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10

Always stay connected with those who can encourage you in Christ, and always remember to shine a light for Jesus in each and every way you can.

Have a great rest of your day and God Bless!

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
