Puzzled by Melanie R.

You held on-

to life’s puzzle pieces

when you didn’t know where to start.

One piece at a time,

could finally see-

through pain and the tears in your heart.

Each piece of His wonder,

the pieces of you-

Great Love in the darkest of skies.

No, you didn’t stumble,

brought healing from Father

when puzzled in pieces of life.

You rounded the corners,

when jagged and cornered;

they started to fit perfectly.

Each piece in it’s place,

God’s guidance and grace

with beauty of Psalm 17.

Do you have any tips or tricks for handling faintness following medical procedures?

Slip a fan in your backpack or purse and cool off in the waiting room until you get your sea legs again. Take as long as you need ❤️

Share the rose, bud, and thorn from your week.

Hey, how was your week? Let’s reflect!

In the comments, share with us:

🌹 A rose = A highlight, success, small win, or something positive that happened.

🥀 A thorn = A challenge you experienced or something you can use more support with.

🌱 A bud = New ideas that have blossomed or something you are looking forward to knowing more about or experiencing.

Take kind care of yourselves this weekend, Mighties.

Where do you go when you need to think or reflect?

When it comes time to sit with yourself and think through whatever is on your mind — both the good and bad — it can be helpful to find a place that helps you center yourself and process your thoughts.

Whether it’s your bedroom, a walk (or roll!) in a nearby park, your local cafe, or a therapist’s office, where do you go when you need a moment to pause and reflect?
