Footprints
Good morning and welcome to my passion project - Daily Motivation on our Rounded Journey of Full Circle Faith! As my book Let God, Let Go, and Let’s Go launches, I invite you to join me each weekday morning as we praise God by starting our day with joy, hope, gratitude and just a little bit of retail therapy!!
So let’s begin!
BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
“Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen” Pslam 78:19
HOPE MESSAGE OF THE DAY
My Grandma Esther left her footprints all over my life, my heart, and my soul! Her gentle, but calloused hand never left my back in all the years that I would sleep by her bed when my anxiety was flaring out of control. When she was dying of cancer at the age of 93, it was no coincidence that life came full circle. You see, she peacefully went to heaven in my arms with my hand on her back. My love for my Grandma was unconditional, but God’s love for us is truly hard to comprehend. I guarantee you that God’s hand is always on our back to love us beyond measure even when we cannot see his footprints! God is always with us and always loving us! What a God we worship! Trust Him. Ask God to help you trust Him.
Tomorrow, I want to share with you a story about Grandma’s kitchen table!
ORGANIZATIONAL TIP OF THE DAY
My Grandma had the most beautiful clothes and shoes! Lucky for me, she shared her closet with me as we wore the same size! So much fun! When she passed away, my mom had the brilliant idea to take a few of her memorable outfits and make them into teddy bears for each child and grandchild. That little bear sits in my room and reminds me daily of the impact my beautiful grandmother had on my life! Has anyone left footprints all over your life in a positive, life-changing way? Are you that person for someone else? Could you be? Some questions to ponder as we strive to share God’s love with everyone we meet! What if offering our hand to another one of God’s children gives them the strength, courage, and confidence to live God’s will for their life? Let that soak in.
