    1. Thank you for your sweet words! I apologize for the confusion, but my comments are moderated due to some trouble I had when I first started this blog back in January. Going much better now!

      Thanks for coming by!

  6. Snow! It's predicted to be a sunny 72 degrees in Texas today. It makes me smile to know there is pretty snow elsewhere. I'm visiting today from the Playdates list. Abundant grace in Jesus to keep leaning on Him in circumstances both ordinary and extraordinary.
