{Day 94}

Years ago while studying history I learned how wine used to be made.  Lush, plump grapes would be piled high in a large vat and then people would stomp on the fruit with their bare feet.  The sweet sticky juice would burst from the skins and run all purple red liquid.  What happens when we are pressed? More importantly what happens when I am pressed?  I find that what is pressed from my life isn’t always as sweet as what comes from the grapes.  Yesterday was a good moment for me to consider my own heart.  Was it easy? No.  Was it good?  Yes.  Walking through difficult circumstances shows us what color really runs in our hearts.  Thankful that I am learning (key word learning) to trust Jesus.  With my own life and the lives of others.  What have you been learning lately?

Since we are talking about grapes this is my purple princes outfit. 😉

A very large thank you to an incredible reader, Abigail, who sent me shoes all the way from Florida!!! Amazing. 🙂  Also thank you SO much to generous Rebekah for the lovely bracelet.  One of the many items she sent me.  Totally made my day! Thank you lovely ladies!!!! 😀
