If you have joined me recently, these weekly life applications from the Bible are examples of some of the comments I write in the Bibles I am giving to my grandchildren when they graduate from high school. Click here to see the post where I explain this eternal gift idea.
The rose colored Bible is the one I am using for my youngest granddaughter, and I really love it! The brown study Bible is the one Jay uses.
I pray these weekly life applications help you in some way. Please share any encouragement and lessons you have learned this week.

Thank you for the beautiful words of encouragement. Have a beautiful week.
I needed this so much, Susan! I love all your notes but I will definitely be highlighting “The things we don’t understand still have purpose” in my journal. It’s such a gentle but powerful reminder that He takes our ashes and turns them into beauty on a daily basis. Thanks for always giving us your best sweet friend. I love this series! Hugs, CoCo
