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!

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident.

First Line Friday: All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more. Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. At twenty-six years old...
