Good soil.
Lord, help me to get through the day and give me all I need for this day.
Oh the joy of knowing that you are there when I go through good and bad things in my life, it's not always easy but it makes me the person I am today.

I know Lord, that if you take me to it, you'll take me through it.

When I lost my two babies, miscarried, then my Grandson stillborn. My husband of forty years died suddenly. When I was made homeless twice. When I lived on very little money and asked the green grocer for a bag of cabbage leaves, carrots and potatoes that he was going to discard and made roast and boiled potatoes cabbage, carrots, yorkshire puddings and gravy out of nothing. when I gave my scarf and gloves more than once to someone who had none and was cold...
