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!

A banner featuring "Apron Strings & Blessings - Tying Faith, Family, and Home Together One Blessing at a Time" with a circular "Home with Grace and Joy" logo. Celebrate the strength of apron strings at www.homewithgraceandjoy.com.

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.

Latest Post – My Favorite 15 Minute Meal!

Several years ago, I was tired, unprepared, short on groceries, and completely out of dinner ideas. This was the outcome!

  1. 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.
