What’s Inspiring You This Week?
Here’s What’s Inspiring Me…
Inspiration From God’s Word

Save me and I will be saved,
For you are the one I praise.

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

Thanks for hosting, Ramona. I’m sorry about Patsy’s mom. Praying she will be healed soon. Perfect verse from Jeremiah.
Thanks Nancy – I know Patsy and her family appreciates everyone’s prayers!
I am inspired to grow Lotus Flowers, perhaps it might inspire some people too because of its unique ability to hide itself at night.
I loved your Lotus Flowers article, Amanda.
Have a fabulous week and thanks for the lovely inspiration!
Never heard of a Happy club, lol! How fun, have to check it out. Loved the sunflower wreath, so bright and cheery! Thanks for hosting today.

Happy Monday, Friend!!! This week I’m inspired by the eagerness and joy my youngest son has as we approach his first day of kindergarten. I pray that he continues to keep that positive energy through his educational career. I’m inspired to continue learning and teaching as I see how much enjoys learning new things! Have a fantastic week!!!
I am SO excited for you and your son! What an exciting time in his life this is!
I look forward to hearing about his adventures.
Have a fabulous week Michelle!
I love Patsy’s work, and will certainly pray for her mother’s quick healing. Blessings!
