My thoughts are with all of you, my East Coast friends.
Stay safe. Stay calm.
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” – Deuteronomy 31:8

You won’t believe this, MJ, but I had originally typed that quote in today’s post – then took it out, planning to use it probably tomorrow or the next day. So don’t be surprised if you see it again soon. It’s a good one, and this is a good time to keep it in mind! Thanks!
I would believe it — serendipity much? Bests to you sweet friend!
MJ
Love this quote. And how thoughtful of you to find something comforting for your East Coast friends.
I sure hope it’s over-hyped but boy it doesn’t look that way does it? Staying calm in MI; we’re expected to get 25′ waves on Lake MI from this monster – yikes!
MJ
Wow, MJ, isn’t this appropriate for us on this SUnday before the big story? Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend, my friend.
Hugs,
Kathy
I thought so; I read it and it calmed me and then I thought there are others who can benefit as well. It has been a restorative weekend, take care Kathy!
MJ
This is so sweet, MJ. And uplifting. Thanks. I’ll be glad to see the sun again!
You hang in there, Anna, and stay cozy; this too shall pass.
MJ
i love this quote! it’s a good mantra during storms (metaphoric or actual) 😉
absolutely! We are feeling (and hearing) those winds here in West MI.
MJ
DOR THEEEEEE!!!!!!!! ’tis blowing a might….
it was a dark & stormy night – even the dog backed in!
MJ
What a wonderful quote for any storm in life. I shall keep it on my desktop. Thanks M.J.
I’m so glad you feel that way, I have it on my desk at work and it helps keep me centered from the craziness that sometimes swirls around me!! Bests, MJ
Amen.
