002: Make Your Own Birthday Cake (Psalm 91)

One of the secrets to lasting happiness and joy is harvesting the ability you have to CHOOSE.  You can choose what to think about which in turn will affect your emotions and your actions.  Listen to the story of Linda and how when she turned 89, she decided to bake her own birthday cake--just a small example of how she lived her tragic-ridden life with peace, joy, and determination to show the world her love for her Creator.  Also, here's a little gift for you to say THANK YOU!!!!  After you rate this podcast, write a review, and share the link on social media, skip on over to my website.  There you will find that scrumptious black walnut cake recipe that Linda made.  It would mean the world to me to share this with you!   The black walnut cake has become the symbol for perseverance and God's faithfulness in my family.  And you MUST use black walnuts - don't compromise! :)   You might even consider making this cake as a gift of encouragement to someone you know who has lost a loved one or who is struggling with breast cancer.  The day that my grandmother died, two of my dear friends came knocking on my door with this cake in hand.  Needless to say, I was overcome with gratitude and love.  If you have found this podcast inspiring and encouraging, please consider joining me on this journey.  Click the Listener's Support tab on the show site in Anchor.  I would be so grateful for your support and prayers!
