Hey, friend. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving, celebrating God’s goodness to His people. (For my U.S. friends.) I pray the Lord’s mercy on our nation, as well as across the globe.
And, thank you for the grace you offered me a couple of weeks ago as I was less active in the linkup while focusing on my family’s health. Thank you for your prayers, they are a gift to me. I pray health and well-being over your households as well. ♥
Thrilled to share that our Giveaway and Spotlight winner this month is Leslie N. Leslie’s online writing space is Journey to Imperfect where she shares about “Letting go of perfectionism, One prayer at a time.” I love Leslie’s heart for prayer. If you haven’t had a chance to connect with Leslie, I hope you’ll stop in soon and say hello.
Congratulations, Leslie! Let me know whether you’d prefer the insulated mug, or the writing journal and I’ll get it right out to you. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry of words. ♥ 
And, the excitement doesn’t end there friends, because today is also also 5th-Week-Fan-Girls!
Around here when a month has five Thursdays, we take that opportunity to show the love to our fellow writers. In addition to linking up our personal posts, we share a post that’s been a recent blessing to us from another site, as well.
If you’re comfortable, please feel free to link up a post that’s been meaningful to you recently from another friend’s site this week! (As well as your own, of course.) #FanGirls!

Hi Brenda,
Continuing to pray for you and your family. I’m still slogging around with pneumonia….it’s going to take awhile. Thinking of you sweet friend….

I’m sharing Susan’s Tasty Tuesday November recap because I’m one of her fan girls, and because who doesn’t need a collection of goodness to get through the season of celebration and house guests!
Blessings to you, Brenda! I love this community!
Oh yes, this seems to be a season when our families’ needs are very much urgent, present, and serious. And the best thing we can do is disappear from online for a spell and focus on those who are with us and need what we can offer.
Blessings to you, Brenda … you’ve modeled how to do that well.
Oh Congrats, Leslie! Brenda I pray you had a wonderful thanksgiving!
Brenda – Praying for you and your family. I hope health is improving. Blessings to you my friend, Maree
Thanks for the link up!
Yay! I was really late to link up today, but what a nice surprise to find I’ve been the winner of your giveaway! I’ll take the journal! Thank you so much, Brenda! And as always, thank you for being you and for such a great place to link up and make connections. I didn’t have a new article this week so I’m posting one of my older ones. It’s about prayer. : ) And grace. Love that grace upon grace that Jesus gives! I sure hope you all are feeling better now. Blessings, Brenda!
I hope your final week of November has been fantastic!
Hi, friend. I keep getting interrupted here with a lot of family stuff going on, but I wanted to pop back over here and say hi (and hit my linkup buddy). I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🙂
Oh, yes, I am seeing more and more the blesssings that come along with this community that God brings together! I am new to your beautiful site and great link-up. Thank you for the invitation! Blessings to you and your family!
I share your prayers for our nation. She is in desperate need of prayer, isn’t she! I hope your family’s health has improved. Thanks for hosting and your monthly giveaways.
Praying you’re all doing well, Brenda! We have been struggling in our house with one cold after another…tis the season. 😉
Thanks for the link up this morning! Blessings!
