Easy to make with a thick oatmeal cookie crust and packed with fresh summer blueberries that ooze out of every bite!
I’ve been enjoying mid-day walks in the fresh air at a near-by park. It’s a beautiful path that weaves around a baseball diamond, through the woods and rivers, around a small pond, and over a wooden planked bridge. The birds are so active and cheerful, the frogs have been croaking, and I can hear the laughter of little ones coming from the park.
The outdoors is my happy place!
I pass right by the playground on my way out and every single time I walk by my mind starts to wonder. And my heart starts to hurt a little. I see all of the Mom’s who are lucky enough to stay at home with their children and I wonder why I wasn’t blessed with being able to stay home when my son was little.
Life is full of unanswered questions and it’s easy to keep them on repeat, asking ourselves over and over why things are the way they are. I’ve found the easiest way to cope is to trust God’s plan for my life. When everything is going our way it’s easy to let go of our worries, wonders, and why’s. But there are times I feel like I am standing on shaky ground and start to question God’s plan and His delayed answers to my prayers. So it is my prayer that He works everything together for good, even when it doesn’t feel so good at the time!
