Dinner Ideas for the Week -

Happy new week! It’s like a mini fresh start, and sometimes we really need one, don’t we? I’ve had a lot on my mind this past week, and yet I had such a good admonition in my devotions one day, that when I worry about things, I’m not trusting God, or the fact that He will be with me always, even in the future which is often what I worry about. Isn’t that ~~good news~~ great news! It’s something to meditate on when our minds start to wander into dangerous worrying territory. Since it was such an encouraging reminder to me, I just had to share it with you too, so you might be encouraged as well! 🙂
