What a beautiful message, sweet friend. I was just thinking how you have such a way with words and your post certainly blessed my heart. I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet daddy . I will certainly be praying for him and that all is well. I agree life can be hard and it’s so easy to let our joy be stolen, but when we look around and see the simple things that God created, it should certainly bring joy to our hearts . Love you sweet friend. Hope you have a blessed week and I’m so looking forward to your fall kitchen. 🧡🧡

I’ve been hoping for rain here in Arizona but nothing yet. Our monsoon season has not been very good this year. Praying for your dad and the whole family. 🙏🏼 Unspoken prayer request for myself ❤ thank you! Have a beautiful day 🌼

Heart Towards Home
Hello friends! Happy Sunday! Here is Sunday's verse. I hope you are having a blessed weekend!
Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day. Wisconsin has been hit with so much rain this weekend that they had to cancel the rest of the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee due to flooding. The weather has been so unpredictable, but I think it goes in waves.
Some years, during a really crazy rainfall, the lower (culvert) part of our front yard becomes a raging river of water - even covering our lower driveway. It usually only lasts for a few hours, and then it's gone just as fast. We have had quite a bit of rain lately, and it thundered a bit through the night, but no rivers in our front yard yet. I don't mind it, though. It's kind of exciting. Lol
Thank you for the prayers for my dad. He has to have about a month of radiation treatments, and hopefully, that will knock out the cancer completely.
As always, feel free to write prayer requests below, or simply write the word "unspoken" to keep it private. God knows the request.
I do want to encourage you not to let anyone steal your joy today and to look for beauty in the littlest blessings...the singing birds, the sunshine, a tomato fresh from the garden, a purring kitty or a sweet lap dog, the smell of fresh baked bread, beautiful music and even the ears to hear it. How much more rich our lives would be if we would make a habit of tuning out the bad and noticing the simple and lovely things that are often right in front of us in the moment. And how much less anxious we might be, too!
Mindset is key to making life bearable along with the remembrance of this verse in my post "All things work together for good to those who love the Lord..." (Romans 8:28) Some leave out the second half of that verse (to those who love the Lord) and by doing so, twist Scripture and tell a lie. I pray that you are one who loves the Lord, and if not, that you will seek the Lord Jesus Christ - the only one who can bring true hope, peace, joy and purpose to life. Don't let Satan or anyone else steal your joy today. Lay hold of it through faith and trust in Christ!
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
I hope to see you in my upcoming "fall kitchen" video! 🍁 Have a blessed week, everyone!
~ Rachel🍁💕😊🐈
P.S. EDIT! I am SO sorry friends. I must be over tired. I apparently posted this same picture a few weeks ago and forgot. 🙃
