Travel Tips: Selecting Lightweight Luggage

I received this luggage set at a discounted price to review and it was just what I needed before my Matron of Honor duties kicked in. 

They came VERY well packaged. They were without a scratch and store just as easily.  

 

Only one of these bags was for me! πŸ’πŸ‘°πŸ’–πŸ’— I was soooooooooooooo excited and had my supplies reads ready to go! 

These 360Β° spinner wheels are THE BUSINESS. I’ve owned several sets with a similar design, but these are EXTRA lightweight. I mean, I can push my carry on with ONE FINGER. πŸ‘‰

It just glides. I was so glad I had these before that trip. I was rolling solo, but the work was EASY.

The Lord will always give you what you need for the journey πŸ™ŒπŸ™β˜πŸ’–

LOVE COVERS

There WAS a much longer post here, but it looks like it was erased somehow.. 😦

I’ll try to update it later.
Here’s the scripture reference for your personal meditation:
The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:7‭-‬8 NLT

The Simple Songs

Thank God for the simple songs. 

I’m up early this morning in full out crafting/wedding prep mode and this song came up randomly on an automated playlist. 

If you’ve been connected to me via social media, you’ve probably observed my love for music. All types, genres and from all periods. I live my life in lyrics and those closest to me are familiar with my daily references to song lyrics in most of my conversations. 😊

Thinking back on many of my most difficult periods, it was my WORSHIP– the “simple songs”– that helped me get through. 

My heart remembered one of THE MOST difficult days, when I called my mom to vent and get some encouragement and her response was to start singing,  “I Won’t Complain.”  A simple song. 

Those lyrics were really all I needed to hear.  I thank God for a relationship like that.  Where one knows the song that can minister to someone else. 

But what if we didn’t have and continue to sing those SIMPLE SONGS? 

Needless to say, this song really blessed my soul this morning. Sometimes those reminders come just when we need them and I know it’s not by coincidence.  

I shared it on my Instagram page and wanted to also include it here along with a link to the video. 

I pray it is a blessing and encouragement for you this morning. 

🎢 🎢….The simple song of life simply says, β€œYou SO LOVED the WORLD, That you gave your life for EVERY man, little boy, and girl.” 

In this quest of life when tempests rage,I fall on my knees and say, 

β€œLord don’t take my simple song away”.πŸ’—πŸ’–πŸ’—πŸ’–πŸ’—πŸ’– 

….In this quest of life when tempests rage, I fall on my knees and say, πŸ™πŸ’–πŸ™πŸ’– 

β€œLord don’t take my simple song away”…… Songs like 

🎢…”AMAZING GRACE, how SWEET the sound, that SAVED a WRETCH like me”…🎢 πŸ™ŒπŸ˜­ 

Songs like, 🎢”Oooh we, ooh wee child, things are gonna get easier”….🎢 πŸ™

Songs like, 🎢”We got to find a way, to bring some LOVIN’ here today”….πŸŽΆπŸ’–πŸ’—πŸ’–πŸ’— 

β€œLord don’t take my simple song away”….

 It may be simple to you, but it’s mine. All mine. All mine!….

Lord we THANK YOU for the SIMPLE SONGS! 🎢
