Seriously?! It’s Not ANOTHER Black Friday message…

Not ANOTHER Black Friday message!

Nope, no sales, pitches, or gimmicks – that’s NOT what this is. There’s nothing for you to click, like, forward, or grab before it’s gone…I promise! 

I’m not jumping into the hyped-up melee to promote one itty-bitty teeny-weeny li’l thing. Not a product, service, idea, whatchamacallit, doodad, thingamabob, or whoozeewhatzit. No matter how many I may have to offer…

I took today to UNPLUG…and it was DELIGHTFUL! No matter how many email messages are piling up in my inbox, I determined that I wasn’t going ANYWHERE to buy ANYTHING today. I am grateful to have enjoyed a blessed Thanksgiving holiday with those I love most – so what more could I ask for? What material item could I acquire (even if deeply discounted) that would add to the fluffy icing already on my cake as I chill out in my robe and fuzzy socks? Exactly.

I encourage you to take a moment to enjoy some REST before returning to your “regular” routine…I’m sure your mind, body, soul, and spirit will thank you for it! #PermissionGranted

In the midst of all that’s going on, I’m praying for peace, joy, love, and contentment to be yours during this holiday season…

Abundant blessings,

Kayren

“And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”

(James 3:18)

What Do You SEE?

I was so excited to see this single rose blooming in my yard this week (yes, it’s Autumn) that I squealed with glee!

On many occasions, the rosebush looks dry, dormant, and DEAD. Yet, the roses that emerge (on on their own schedule, might I add) never cease to amaze me. This rosebush has survived a summer of sustained, sweltering Southern heat. It has prevailed through hurricane force winds and soaking torrents.

Nevertheless, it continues to bloom and flourish – in spite of its environment and circumstances. As a matter of fact, this natural work of artistic wonder is surrounded by dead-looking, withered blooms and spiky thorns.

In its appointed time, each rose that is embedded in the DNA of that rosebush comes forth as the beautiful creation it was intended and designed to be.

What do YOU see? Perhaps there’s a hidden rose just waiting to be discovered, cultivated, nurtured, appreciated…around you, or even in you…

It’s a matter of perspective…and patience.⏳ Open your eyes 👀 and bloom on, my friend!🌹

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”

38 This is the first and great commandment.

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
