Apron Strings & Blessings Weekly Newsletter Vol. 45
Happy Monday and thanks for joining me for this week’s, “Apron Strings & Blessings.” Let’s take a look at a few things faith, family, and home!

Where do you stand on affirmations? I do not think they have any magical powers by any means, but they can be uplifting.
I have six affirmations that I read each morning – all based on Scripture. It never hurts to read or quote Scripture!
- I can do all things through Christ. (Based on Philippians 4:13)
- This is the day the Lord has made. (Based on Psalm 118:24)
- I am more than a conqueror. (Based on Romans 8:37)
- God always caused me to triumph. (Based on Psalm 59:10)
- God’s favor is surrounding my family and me like a shield. (Based on Genesis 15:1 and Psalm 5:12)
- Goodness and mercy are following me today. (Based on Psalm 23:6)
I know you have heard me talk about CoCo with the Crowned Goat. I just got 40 more Faith Based Affirmations from her. They are all wonderful. I have them printed out and read a few each day.
I highly encourage you to start your morning off with Scripture. What a great way to get the Word in your head each day.

- She Reads Bible (This is the one I get the most questions about.)
- Travel Outfit

So sweet of you to share the affirmations, Susan. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I love that they are short and can be easily repeated in a variety of situations. Plus, they’re a simple way to start the day grounded. Can’t wait to hear all about your trip and dive into these links. Big hugs, CoCo
