Simplify. Prioritize. Breathe. Receive. Though I have graduated into the role of grandmother and part-time caregiver, my days are just as busy as when my daughter was young.

Feeling a bit like the Velveteen Rabbit these days? Worn down, worn out, and more than a little frayed? I know I am.

Sometimes, however, all we need to do is look in our own backyard, talk with a neighbor or friend, or send a prayer of healing to God in heaven to quell the fear and fill our hearts with peace. In this episode, we are reminded of all that is good and remember that God's presence and promises are the reason we are free to be unafraid.
