HOPE is the wispy thing inside of me that continue HOPE is the wispy thing inside of me that continues to connect me to the bigger, grander picture of God's ultimate goodness in the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope keeps me believing that no matter the headlines, God is in control. That no matter the suffering, He continues to meet each one of us in deep, often inexplicable ways, with otherworldly comfort. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While it is easy to lose sight of all things bright and beautiful in hard times, I want to side with what God says about the world - that the whole earth is full of his glory - right here, right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I find living-breathing-right-now-hope in baby trees and pink sunsets, in my grandsons’ laughter and my parents’ marriage. These things make me smile with God. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's making you smile with hope these day?
Strawberry Pretzel Delight 🍓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Strawberry Pretzel Delight 🍓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This dessert is my healthy version of recipe that Will adores from way back in his college days at the very first church pastored in Valley Mills, Texas. The original recipe called for strawberry jello, Cool Whip, pineapple, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This recipe is GLUTEN free and no jello - just fresh strawberries and touch of mint. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the pretzel crumb: Crush 2 cups of gluten-free pretzels. Combine with 2 T butter (melted) and 2 t sugar. Mix. Spoon into 4 Weck (custard size) jars. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the creamy layer: Add 4 ounces cold cream cheese, 2 t sugar, 1 t vanilla in a chilled bowl. Beat until well combined. Slowly add 1/2 c cold heavy cream. Whip til creamy. Place in fridge til ready to assemble. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Strawberry Layer: Dice 8 - 10 large strawberries. Add bits of fresh mint (about 8 leaves, torn) and 2 T sugar. Mix well. Let sit for 15 minutes or so. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After the pretzel layer cools, add creamy layer and then top with strawberry layer. Keep in fridge til ready to serve. Serves 4. It's delish! 🍓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check my stories for a tiny tutorial. Tag me if you try it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ xoxo. Mama Suz

Happy Father's Day to this man. The one who teach Happy Father's Day to this man. The one who teaches me about gratitude and God. 🤍 The one who appreciates the wonder of birds and trees and bats. He appreciates life's little joys like a cup of McDonald's coffee and all things small town Texas. 🧡 He never meets a stranger without making a new friend. He loves America and the Church - and he's endlessly optimistic about both. He is devoted to Mimi and every member of his big ol' family - and never forgets to tell us all how much he loves us. ❤️ Happy Father's Day, Daddy! I love you and I'm so grateful for you.

Because I do not know any medicine for grief but t Because I do not know any medicine for grief but to let ourselves grieve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because I do not know any cure for sorrow but to let ourselves sorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because I do not know any remedy but to let the heart break, to let it fall open, then to let it fall open still more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because I do not know any solace but to give ourselves into the love that will never cease to find us, that will never loose it’s hold on us, that will never abandon us to the sorrow for which it holds the cure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jan Richardson
