worth it

bloganuary day 4

prompt: what is a treasure that’s been lost?

Found my worth!

And I pray you to know

your

true

worth

too!

It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”

Luke 15:32

hugs n’ blessings to all those who rejoice over having been found!

when all roads eventually lead to pierogies…

Gifts come in all shapes and sizes.

And when they come from the heart – well…

THAT’s just an extra-special blessing indeed!

This past Christmas Season my cousin blessed me with one such gift.

One of THE most surprising & wonderful gifts I could have hoped to receive!

Homemades.

Homemade pierogies!!

And lucky me, with the onset of Winter Storm Elliot whipping across our North Eastern part of the Country, accompanied by the”shelter in place” advisory – it became the perfect opportunity to stay snuggled inside and enjoy this very thoughtful treat with my Cuppycake!

Trust me!

BOTH of our hearts were filled to the rim as we devoured their warm deliciousness.

It was no wonder then, when fellow blogger Stacy @ WTF? (Where’s the faith?) launched her more recent post, that it immediately grabbed my attention!

My Pierogi Trail Wish to you in the New Year

I’ve often said and do truly believe – the gifts we receive which are often times the most impactful are the ones given from the heart!

And Stacy always writes from the heart!

I do hope you will spend some time reading Stacy’s post. Simply click on the link above! Or the embedded article is below. Either way I do know you will enjoy her site and if you would, please kindly let her know you stopped by. I promise it will warm both your hearts when you do!

hugs n’ blessings for all the heartfelt things we share with one another!

the struggle

For all of January, Word Press is running once again a month-long blogging challenge and I have been invited to join them!

(Along with every other WP member! Giggles.)

I will be given a new daily writing prompt to inspire me to publish a post on my blog. There is no right or wrong way to respond to the prompts. Members who register take this opportunity to exercise their creativity and have fun! We can choose to respond with a story, a drawing, a poem, a photo, a comic strip, a recipe, or even a playlist.

Anything goes!

I am excited for this challenge because by participating in Bloganuary, I will join bloggers around the world in the shared goal of creating and/or solidifying a strong blogging habit. Also, with the Bloganuary community site, I’ll connect with and get to know others working toward similar goals. I just may even make some new blogging friends!!

This all excites me!

While I may not use the prompt every day – I do hope to use this challenge to strengthen my blogging habit, yet again. However, if I do use the prompt for the day I will be certain to attach the badge to clue you in!

Inspired by January 2nd’s prompt:

Are you brave?

I am a woman.

I am a wife.

I am a mother.

I am a grandmother.

I am His.

Those are definites.

It’s all the in-between, which I often struggle (to answer.)

Am I brave?

When I rest in Him…I am.

‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Isaiah 41:10

hugs n’ blessings to all those who trust in the great I AM – and become braver than they ever imagined!
