Encouragement RoundUp
Hi, readers!
I hope you’ve been doing well.
I’ve been reading some great articles lately. Here are a few I thought I’d pass along to you.
- In “Chili and God’s Grace,” Cole Huffman reminded me of the many ways that we can be a blessing to others even when they don’t deserve it.
- Rita Schulte encouraged me not to hide my story but to “Turn a Hot Mess into a Powerful Message.”
- April P. repeated what I know well but sometimes forget. Read her article, “Swarm of Pain.”
- In “Grace for the Grouch,” Karen Wingate reminded me that although I sometimes come in contact with grouches, many times, I am the grouch.
- Joy DeKok’s “A Cuppa Coffee” reminded me of my early years as a coffee-drinker. Lovely piece.
- Rachel Wojnarowski “What Happens When You Have to Step Back” reminds me that reverse isn’t always negative.
- Jann Cobb tells us why dentists are “A Little Bit of a Distraction.”
I hope you will check these out and pass them along to your friends and family. Good stuff here!
Blessings,
Daphne
P.S. – Continue to pray for me as I write my book. Slowly but surely. 😉
