World's Best Vanilla TaffyIt's a grateful day here at A Cupcake for Moose. So many blessings have come my way the last few days that are humble reminders to realize God has always and continues to provide ALL my needs. I need to let those pesky wants fall by the wayside. They are pesky indeed and creep into my mind masking themselves as needs. Tsk tsk, I am constantly having to check those at the door.
Grateful List:
- The sweet man in a wheel chair who patiently waited in the hot sun while cars went whizzing past the "Pedestrians First" walk way...then gave me a big smile when no one else was stopping. Dang, I think (hope) he may have known Jesus' goodness to be that happy in such a yucky predicament.
- Bagels hot from the toaster. Is there anything better? Noooooope!
- Ranking right up there with bagels is Bonomo Turkish taffy. It's the best vanilla taffy I've ever had. Thank you local candy shop for carrying this classic!
- During a work event I ran into a man I worked with at my very first job. He didn't recognize me (it's been years) and when we started talking said, "Did you lose a ton of weight or something?" Ahhh, that was nice to hear. "No, I'm actually pregnant, but thanks anyway," was my happy response. A few more weeks and I will be hearing just the opposite, which is good, too. :)
Thanks Lotte for letting me borrow your uber-cute shirt! xoxo
- I get to have lunch with two lovely friends today! I love catching up with Maranda and Cheryl. It's like water to my soul.
Have a great day!
xoxo, Rachel
Grateful is good! That is something I have learned, to have a grateful heart. Makes life so much more lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou are starting out with your firstborn, I just took mine (first and only) to college. I am grateful to have enjoyed every stage of her development, knowing it would pass quicker than I thought. It has been a delightful 18 years, each stage with it's own joys.
Blessings, Rachel!
Autumn is the best. It's just full of warm cozies for the soul. Keep up your cuteness, Rachel - I'm excited to watch you (baby, that is) grow!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder to be grateful - even (maybe especially) in the little things that are so often overlooked! I'm with you, though...can NOT wait for all things autumn/fall! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many blessings and so many reasons to be grateful! You're a real treasure!! xxoo
ReplyDeleteLove this list! I have no idea what taffy is though - not sure we have it in the UK, I guess we're missing out! Xxx
