3. Brownies
4. Rocky Road Ice Cream
5. Lindor White Chocolate Truffles

10. Cherry Chip cupcakes
11. Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting
12. Killer Carmel Latte from Barracuda's

All this would work for a band-aide over the burdens in my heart lately too. This week has been especially hard with new of several cases of marital strife. Although my husband is a youth pastor there seems to be a lot of ministry in this area also. More so lately than usual. In Sunday School there were prayer requests for lots of hurting people. Divorce, death, and tragedy. It is a reminder of what a depraved world we live in and that just because we are Christians we are not immune, it takes being activly connected to the Healer.

Two nights ago I was doing the dishes and looked out the kitchen window to see a glorious double rainbow, the brightest I had ever seen. Today outside although the wind in blowing furiously, the sky is a bright clear blue and the sun is shining. It is a reminder of Who is in control and that although we live in a sinful fallen world God is still there and if we just connect with Him, He will be our Protector, Healer, Physician, and Strength. Spring IS coming!

I love the little reminders and the little miracles that God sprinkles over our lives....
It is those precious jewels fill us with hope.
"For He who began a work in us will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Did you catch that?
On THIS side of heaven, He will perfect it.
Love that!
