A Sunday Morning

alavenderplace

Early morning, quiet moments allow me to gather my thoughts, meditate and pray.

The chirping and tweeting of birds calmly warm my soul.

I hear a swift, gust of wind blowing debris from one side of the street to the other.

I see the morning light attempt to peak through the blinds.

I sink into the warm, left-side of my bed and appreciate the comfort of my weighted blanket.

I am reminded that the right-side of the bed is available, empty, and cold.

And, then, reality sets in – I am alone, I have been alone, and I slept alone.

Life

alavenderplace

When life brings us joy, we laugh.

When life brings us pain, we cry.

When life brings us wealth, we spend.

When life brings us blessings, we give thanks.

When life shows us evil, we show it God.

When life seems overwhelming, we confide in a friend.

When life brings us brokenness, we struggle to put back the pieces back.

In life we are constantly moving, learning, and growing. We are growing to be the best versions of ourselves.  So, keep moving, keep growing, and keep learning. YOUR Life is YOUR responsibility so take charge and make this your best life yet!

Making Ends Meet

alavenderplace

No one knows how to make ends meet better than a single parent. We are experts in making something out of nothing. Just like Jesus, who turned water into wine, we take one meal and turn it into five.

We take one salary and spread it across a household system that’s designed for 2 parents. One can only imagine the anxiety, stress and exhaustion this may cause for single parents.

Making ends meet force single parents to prioritize what’s important to ensure your children’s needs are being met. Have a thankful and giving heart to those who are less fortunate and see how much better you feel.

Single parents, making ends meet is a way for God to say, “I love you and your children” and ‘I will make sure you have everything you need – when you need it”. AMEN!
