Every time I turn around I see a link for a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte. So I gave in and tried it (peer pressure, you know) and now I’m addicted. Had to go buy an extra pumpkin and I’m just waiting for the cream to settle on the top of the quart of milk that…

Oh’ so thankful too sister! Where there was need in me, He gave it. He is replacing my pride with humbleness, and my sin with forgiveness. Praise God, and thank you for sharing such a nice word picture! ~ Blessings out, Amy
Yeah…I needed to read this one, too.
I found a print by another artist with that verse a few weeks ago. Printed it out and hung it on my bulletin board beside my desk. Some times the pain of life seems so unbearable … but He is still God and He is still good!
Pretty sure this was written for me this morning. Thank you
