I find I do make things too complicated most of the time when simple is the best way. it was a good reminder and lesson for me. Trust and grace is the best way, right!

I was talking with a friend just yesterday who decided to get a paperclip and set it on his bedside table to see it every morning as a reminder. I thought that was a good idea. I too have been so discouraged since January with all the news but am finding waking up focusing only on the day to day, following Jesus as close as I can with love and forgiveness as close as I can, listening and loving helps me get through the day. To be honest, I think it will be hard to do for four years though

I loved how the simple paper clip saved the day for you in getting your tech difficulties solved. Who would have “thunk” that? When we are faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, may we look to God to provide His simple answer of love, grace and faithfulness. We simply need to trust Him to give us exactly what we need when we need it. Blessings!

I need it. Maybe I’ll set out a paperclip to be reminded of this lesson. I’ve been so discouraged the past few weeks too to see so many people hurting and in harms’ way. May we continue to shine light and love to brighten what spaces we can!

At times I’ve wanted to throw my computer over the railing of the deck and into the trees, while screaming at the top of my lungs! Thankfully at the outer limits of my frustration there’s a tad bit of self-control left.😁 / I love your morning reset–a good habit for all of us to take up. As for a recent simple lesson, I’m coming up empty-brained. ‘Can’t think of an example at this moment!
