“This space is about the substance behind the style—the faith that grounds us, the purpose that guides us, the nostalgia that softens us, and the real life we’re learning to embrace, even when it’s messy.”
“The blankets serve as a reminder to me that just as they provide warmth and covering for all who reach for them, God also covers us with His steadfast love. I’ve come to realize that I can echo His care through the small offering of folding blankets—an ordinary rhythm that becomes a prayer.”
“What if this is it?
What if this is the life you’re given?
Not as a lesson.
Not as a temporary holding pattern.
But as your actual life. ”
“Most people underestimate how powerful simple kindness can be.
You may not remember every task you completed this week, but you will remember the person who treated you with dignity when you felt unsure of yourself.
Most people are carrying something others cannot see..”

I will certainly pass this on to my daughters and DIL. Lovely writer/thinker. As I read the intro and another piece on This Is Not A Waiting Room I had to finally come to terms with the reality that I am so old now, having passed through so many thresholds, I am well beyond this wisdom shared. I feel like an out of service sattelite floating around in space.
Sort of reminds me of when I was introduced to Emily Freeman's blog and books fifteen years ago. I subscribed, happily settled in and enjoyed Emily's commentary and the lovely folks who were her followers. Then, one day, I realized I could not comment. No one, at a certain age, wants or needs an oldie to say, yes, been there done that, this is how I dealt with it. So, I just didn't. Eventually I faded away, and I'm sure no one noticed.
I am saying this here because I have to admit I am still wrestling with not fitting and since this is the story of my life, at all stages, I should be completely adjusted by now. It's not easy being green. 🙄
Wow, I'm beyond humbled by this feature! Thank you so much! It seriously just made my day. 🥹
