I recently got to spend one day with all my kids t I recently got to spend one day with all my kids together in one place. My son and his wife were back in the US for a wedding, so the rest of us met them halfway to spend the day together. We did all the things; games, cookout and s'more, of course! As a mom of grown-up kids, there are few things better than sitting back, listenng to them talk and laughing at every other word. They just bring me joy. Hey Mamas, let me know if you agree by dropping a ❤️ in the comments. John 1: 12-13 reminds us that "all who received him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." Remember, you are a child of God. He delights in you and He loves to hear the sound of your voice! * * * #childofgod❤️ #momofadults #momofadultkids #godislistening #mylifeover50

Stop. Breathe in, breathe out and look away... "M Stop. Breathe in, breathe out and look away... "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Romans 15:13 It can hit us in an instant, we're overwhelmed. Our heart rate increases and our mind feels frozen and unsure of what to do next. It may seem counterproductive to stop when our to-do list seems endless. But this is the exact time we need to take our eyes off of the problem and look to God. Our God speaks joy, peace and hope. 🤍 #godofhope #godbringspeace #needhope #myover50life
What's your favorite way to spend a Spring day? I What's your favorite way to spend a Spring day? I love to be outside, and if I can enjoy an event where other people are also outside selling stuff...well, then that's 💯 times better! 🏵🌼🌸 @cassidystation #springdayfun #springfieldmo #springinmissouri #417local
Does the thought of international travel intimidat Does the thought of international travel intimidate you? There's a big wide world to see, but it does help to be prepared. International travel is never for the faint of heart, but this trip definitely took longer than we expected! Here's a few tips to make long international trips more doable: 1. Wear loungewear in a dark color. No matter how comfortable you think a pair of jeans is, you're not used to wearing that same pair for hours on end. Dark colors also help protect against stains and spills when you're eating in close quarters. 2. Make sure to pack chargers in your small personal item, not your carry-on. It's much easier to reach a purse under the seat than to pull down a carry-on from the overhead space. 3. Always have extra snacks on hand. Yes, they do feed you on the long international legs, but your stomach is geared to your home timezone. 4. Store your passport in the same, accessible pocket and place it back there every time, no matter what! There's nothing quite like the stress of searching for a passport when your brain is tired from traveling. #internationaltraveltips #internationaltravel #traveltipsandtricks #worldtravelers
Have you taken a moment to look out the window on Have you taken a moment to look out the window on your daily commute? The yard is showing off right now with an array of flowers 💐 🥰😍 and I'm doing my best to take notice of God's handiwork. Our attention is often stolen by the tyranny of the urgent. Life is busy and it can easily suck up all our attention. It's amazing what you'll notice if you take time to look. Matthew 6:28–30: "See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these". * * * #springflowers🌸 #naturespeaks #missouriflowers #mymissourihome

Do you feel like you're carrying a load of unexpla Do you feel like you're carrying a load of unexplainable anxiety? Recently, I started to noticing it in myself. I'd be walking along and notice that my shoulder were pulled up around my ears or I'd feel a lump of anxiety in my chest. Tension and anxiety often creeps up slowly and unnoticed. I'm forming new habits to slow myself down, to take notice of God's creation and rest in the moments of the day. God's Word reminds us to "be still and know" that He is God. He wants to breathe life and peace into your day. 🌸🌸🌸 * * * #myover50life #bestillandknow #godcares #springflowers🌸 #creationspeaks
