Blessings come in many different ways… and here at the Grapevine, they come as wonderful customers from all walks of life! 🌺
I, Toula, have had the privilege of meeting and serving some of these incredible people and am honored to hear their stories! Once in while I like to share the impact these stories have on us, here at the Grapevine! 🌺
This past week, I worked with a young lady who wanted to have a baptismal brunch on our front porch! She came in right before Mother’s Day and worked diligently through the week to make her vision come true! Sunday came around and her church family arrived early to help finalize a few things…that is where I learned about this young lady’s reality! A young mother of three…a young wife and a beautiful woman with a long journey ahead of her. What someone would see as a hindrance, a health issue, she handled with such grace! As we prayed, I could not help but look at her and see the tears build, yet she contained herself. She spoke a few words about the uncertain future and found courage to thank all of us around her. WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRAISING HER FOR HER STRENGTH, GRACE, and INTERNAL BEAUTY! 🌺
Today, I want to take a moment to honor this young lady and all the women who are fighting silent, hard battles but find solace in God’s plan!🌺. Thank you for reminding us that we are blessed to live each day and to enjoy all of his worldly goods, in good times or bad! 🌺
