Amidst the Whirlwind

Posted on by ChronicallyGratefulDeb

Good morning, dear friends. Apologies for my absence; life has been quite hectic lately. Amidst the whirlwind, we received word that our new apartment is ready. Although exhaustion lingers, I see this as an opportunity to create a fresh space.

Additionally, the recent loss of a dear friend has reminded me of the transient nature of life, prompting me to embark on a journey of downsizing and simplifying.

As I navigate through these changes, I extend to you all my wishes for a truly magnificent day.

A verse from the Bible to reflect upon: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11

And a positive quote for today: “Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.”

May your day be filled with blessings and moments of peace.
