Encouragement Today and Weekend Reminder
This is your weekend reminder to take time out to provide yourself some down time.
- Take the time to enjoy your family, your friends, and your life.
- Take some time to breathe in and breathe out and open your eyes to enjoy the first thing you see.
- Open your eyes to the beauty of what surrounds you. Does that mean you see the beauty of your spouse that you have become so accustomed to, that you see no longer? Does that mean you see a cute puppy and all you can think to say is, “Awe, how cute”? The key is that you see the beauty your life holds dear to you.
- Take the time to see the smile and hear the laughter of your children that are surrounds you.
- Take the time to be still and if you are outside and listen for the chirping of the birds. Allow their beautiful songs to bring you peace you may not have felt all week.
- Take the time to simply enjoy the peacefulness of your relaxation.
Lastly, the most important reminder this weekend is to allow your mind, body, and soul to rest and relax. You have permission to stop and take care of yourself.
Happy Weekend!

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom.
The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
