Old Glasses and New Perspectives
It was just a simple pair of reading glasses, but I lost count of the many prayers I prayed over something so small and superficial. Days and weeks of prayers amid all the searching.

Apple Cider with Essential Oils
I find that there is something comforting about warm drinks. Cups of hot flavored coffee and rich, creamy chocolate cocoa are two of my favorites.
