What’s Inspiring You This Week?
Here’s What’s Inspiring Me…
Inspiration From God’s Word
Be Joyful – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Source: Etsy
Some weeks are more difficult than others.
Some weeks, you lose someone you love.
Some weeks, you are bedridden while your husband travels.
Some weeks, fires blaze in the night and you face the flames alone.
Yet – through it all – there is one who watches over you –
One who never abandons you –
One who holds your life in His very hands.

I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
