Post of the week from these parts here:
Growing older is a gift that only the young take for granted.
It’s a gift to get old enough to realize how little you know.
It’s a gift to hold space for all the ages you have ever been.
It’s a gift to focus less on how old you are becoming and more on who you are becoming.
And maybe getting over the hill gets you seeing what you never would otherwise.

What do you do when you wake up and feel like you’re not enough for your life? Or when you look out the kitchen window as dusk falls and wonder how do you live when life keeps breaking your heart?
In sixty vulnerably soulful stories, The Way of Abundance moves from self-weary brokenness to Christ-focused givenness.
Christ Himself broke like bread, giving Himself to us so we might have a lifelong communion with Him. Could it be that our brokenness is also a gift to the world? These tender devotionals dare us to embrace any and all brokenness as a gift that moves us closer to the heart of God.
This gentle book does nothing less than take you on an intimate journey of the soul.

on repeat this week: Fighting For Me
It’s a gift to get old enough to realize how little you know.
It’s a gift to hold space for all the ages you have ever been.
It’s a gift to focus less on how old you are becoming and more on who you are becoming.
And maybe getting over the hill gets you seeing what you never would otherwise.
Maybe blowing out candles is actually about fanning the flames of genuine thanks.
And I’m a bit ignited. We may be growing older but our hearts are growing larger, and we may be limping along but we can help welcome a family into our family that longs to belong, we may be hurting in all kinds of ways, but we can be kind and help others hurting in their own way.
And my heart hurts with this splitting thanks:
Winning the lottery doesn’t make you lucky. Getting to love makes you the luckiest of all, because love always wins.
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
