Encouragement Pot Roast

Yesterday was one of those days. I woke up with anticipation. It should have been a day of new beginnings. Life had been tough, in some ways, for the last few years. But it looked as if things were improving. We felt that we were about to turn the corner, having learned much from past mistakes. However, we were let down when an agreement was broken. It felt like a kick in the stomach. I felt helpless and hopeless. I know that people will disappoint us. I needed to be reminded that God never will. He is always with us, no matter what the situation. And no matter how bad things seem, He is right there, with His arms around us. Yesterday has left its scars, but I made it through today. God gave me the strength He has promised. Oh, I had moments of tears, anger, and fatigue. But then I decided to receive God's grace and then share it! My husband did not deserve to come home to a sad, sloppy house with nothing to eat in it. So... I made him Encouragement Pot Roast! It smelled wonderful when he got home. I served it with homemade mashed potatoes and maple green beans. You see, he needed encouragement today. He needed to know that we are in this together, and I am strong enough to help him! I will post the recipes tomorrow. My husband needs a kiss goodnight! :)
