"B" IS FOR.....

Which words have you heard most  during this coronavirus pandemic season----Boring, Bored and Boredom come to mind, as parts of speech which emphasize one's prevailing mood.
Bedraggled liked last week's roses? Mama Davenport would have made potpourri sachet from the petals to freshen her "intimates drawer".
My grandmother never thought it behooved one's spirit to bemoan present experiences.....she saw even good in scraggly roses.

Hm-m--m....words for musing, not bemusing.

Why am I baffled at the disparity in the way I saw life and the way she viewed it? She viewed all of life through a lens of worship and gratitude, not with a bewildering questioning "why me? " attitude. ...not just in a quick burst when good things came her way...but even struggles could become a bounty of blessings for all to see as she waited for God to show His hand & His plan.

The Lord was always her banner and her shield, regardless of life's struggles. He bestowed favor and honor on Mama Davenport because her walk never wavered---it was blameless and the Lord blessed her bountifully. (Psalm 84:11)

What "Bs" are reflected in your life?
