Recently, I saw a friend post on Instagram about how she was watching Downton Abbey again. I commented back about how I was doing the same–Downton Abbey is such a wonderful show that you can never watch it too much, right?! Do you find yourself rewatching beloved shows at this time? It is so nice to be able to escape to the land of books or enter another world through the magic of dramatic stories on television. What shows have become your favorites?
On an equal note, it is so amazing to realize that the Lord gave so many individuals the wonderful talent and ability to create stories that in turn we all get to enjoy. I do not consider myself to be a great writer, but I love that the Lord gave me a love for the written word, and that He enabled me to take part in such an incredible literary journey–earning two English degrees and writing pieces so that I can share my story with you. What wonderful gifts He gives to His children!
I know that last week I spoke about gratefulness, but now I want to consider the goodness of Christ in our lives. What moments in your life do you recognize as coming from the Lord? I so enjoy hearing people’s stories, because they are so encouraging, and we all need to be encouraged right now. For me, without Jesus’ help, I would be unable to endure the things this life brings. I hope you are doing well friends–I thank God for each of you!

Thank you so much Lori!
Ohhh I really like the header. It is so peaceful. Thanks for sharing songs
It was my pleasure Lori! Have a wonderful week!
I still haven’t watched Downton Abbey. Crazy, right? Especially for one who enjoys that time period. One of these days I’ll get around to it.
I have experienced many moments that I know came about only by God’s direction. Meeting my husband was one of those times. So many things could have stood in the way of us ever meeting each other, but God. Our first baby (a daughter) was born one-month prematurely because of my pre-eclampsia and, therefore, developed hyaline membrane disease (lungs under-developed) and pulmonary hypertension. But hundreds of believers prayed and I was able to bring her home completely healed before her due date. Our daughter is 31 now, married, and delivered her first baby in February. God has been exceedingly good to me. I have more stories I could share. I don’t want to live one day without Him beside me.
You would love Downton Abbey! I’ve actually been watching it again these last few months. 🙂
Those are wonderful examples of God’s goodness! Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories–they are so encouraging! Have a wonderful week Anneliese!
