Living in the Moment

Recently, I’ve been scheduling my posts a few days in advance.🤓 The planner in me is learning that if I don’t post until that day (or evening), it’s ok, too.👍🏼 Actually, it’s relieving a lot of ridiculously self-imposed stress…I encourage you to try it.🕊

Learning to give ourselves grace is a priceless gift.😇🎁 Earlier this week, I walked in the morning and enjoyed the freshness of the day.

Today, I walked as dusk began to set in, and I was treated to a glimpse of the moon’s magnificence amidst the stunning backdrop of God’s gorgeous Autumn palette.🎨🙌🏽 Sharing photos that don’t come close to capturing the essence of the beauty and peace I experienced “off-schedule.”😏

Here’s to our well-being in this season of Thanksgiving…🍂🍁

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.”

(Psalm 104:19)

I’m Celebrating Thanksgiving BEFORE Christmas

I was blessed to visit my parents (who live in another state) this weekend – I’m super-grateful for the great time of fellowship we had with lots of laughs! I was really surprised that several homes already displayed full Christmas decorations.😯 What really got my attention was hearing “The Little Drummer Boy”🥁🎵 piped through one of the Rest Areas. I was like, “Did I miss the memo about being late for Christmas?🎄 Gee whiz, I thought I was early in my Thanksgiving preparations, but am I already behind?!”😳

Don’t get me wrong…I am 150% a Christmas fan – I LOVE to celebrate the miracle of the birth of Christ EVERY DAY🎉 (and my daughter’s been able to pull me into watching Christmas movies at any time of the year LOL).🎁

Yet, I’m being VERY intentional to make SURE I give thanks (and not just one one day!) for ALL the marvelous things God has done in MY life over the past year. Truthfully, I am incorporating an “attitude of gratitude” into my daily reflections and meditations, and finding an exponential improvement in my quality of life with this adjustment!🙌🏽 I invite you to join me in celebrating the season of Thanksgiving BEFORE we get swept away by the festivities of Christmas (as it’s been hyper-commercialized). I’d love to hear how YOU are celebrating this season of Thanksgiving…drop me a comment!😇

Praying we focus on the reason for EVERY season…🙏🏼

Abundant blessings, Kayren💓

“7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.”

(Psalm 26:7-8)

“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.”

(Psalm 69:30)

“3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”

(Titus 2:3-5)

“20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”

(Daniel 2:20-22)

My Best Use for a Stick of Butter…

…all week long – hands down!!! LOL🤣 Look at this absolutely glorious apple crisp, smell the cinnamon wafting through the air, taste that brown sugar…yes, Fall is officially HERE!🍁🍂

Granted, I’ll admit this is a deconstruction of my sugar-free oatmeal breakfast earlier this week, but I figured that this Thursday night deserved a treat like apple crisp, so I went for it! Sooo glad I did…dessert perfection!😋 #NoRegrets #UNapologetic #JudgmentFreeZone #BakedInJoy #AppleEqualsFruit 🍎

Hubby & I polished off 1/3 of this while still hot outta the oven😋…2 years till empty nest…but who’s counting?😯🤔😏 Ha ha ha!

Happy Fri-YAY, y’all!!!😊🥳

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings.”

(Psalm 17:8)
