The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge #15 Fall Gratitude; I'm doing a Guest Designer spot once again, with "Yes, Even Mr. Bones! "

     I'm terribly sorry for this being a day late- the fault of which is my own. I simply lost track of which day it was to post. I've not felt well again this week, and the toll it's taken on my Summer, and now into Fall... I really want a do-over! My humblest apologies to the FJB Challenge Blog Design Team, and to all the followers as well. I'm usually a late type of person, but I've never lost track of it the way I did with this week. But, here it is; such as it is. 

    While it may look as if I also lost track of the theme for this TFJB Challenge #15; Fall Gratitude, the opposite is true. Yes, it looks a bit "Halloweeny", but the explanation behind it is simple, and right in line with the theme. I'm speaking strictly on my own here, when I say that my Faith is what I am grateful for as someone who has done multiple wrongs in my life, and I am far from proud of that. Those wrongs are what The Bible describes as "sins", and The Bible also says that "There is not one person who has not sinned- no not one,". I'm definitely included in that. And there are always things in our past that we'd all rather not dredge back up. Every single person in the Human race has at least one "skeleton in the closet". The closet is kept tightly locked and hidden...or so we think. But there is One who knows all about what is in that closet, and it neither surprises Him, nor repels Him from loving us. In fact; GOD doesn't even care what we've done in our past; it's our own doing that keeps those skeletons there. Many times over, I have given it all over to The LORD, only to open that closet, and take back those skeletons in thinking I could do something to make it right again- make those skeletons no longer exist. But, alas, I can't do that. Only GOD can. And He does: just by my asking. And I am GRATEFUL. More than any words can say. I try to show my gratefulness each new day. Sometimes, I do better, but more times that not; I don't. I just humble myself, and ask GOD to help me all over again- and keep trying to get it right. But those skeletons... they're of no more worry to me because GOD's got this!

I started out with this book box that was a purchase sometime before the Covid-19 struck.
