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: Carolina Breeze

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week! Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now. For today's post, I'm excited to once again be linking up with the lovely Hoarding Books  for another edition of First Line Friday.

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...
