BLESSING MIX TAG
Bugles: Shaped like a cornucopia or Horn of Plenty, a symbol of our nations abundance
Pretzels – Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by those who founded our country
Candy Corn: The sacrifices of the Pilgrims’ first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day
Nuts or seeds: Promise of a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence
Dried fruits: Harvest gifts from our bountiful land
M&M’s : Memories of those who came before us to lead us into a blessed future
Hershey’s Kiss: The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
GOOD MORNING !
I made the mix above several years ago for my family and they really enjoyed it- maybe you will too !
I am thankful that I have one more day to enjoy, and be amazed, and be involved with life. And I am very grateful that I can go through another day full of awe and gratitude
Today I’m praying for hearts that have been broken, that they may be healed and that reconciliation for past hurts can begin.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy-- they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

I liked your prayer about hearts broken and past hurts. Those kinds of things are just so hard to let go of. I truly think it`s impossible without the Lord helping us through!
