Our gratitude bucket is still overflowing due to all of the kind cards, notes, and thoughts you sent Sweet Mama’s way for her ninetieth birthday in March! “Thank you” seems trite when the basket of cards is running over, but my siblings and I are thankful for your thoughtfulness to our dear mother.

Mom has provided us with another great video this week in her ongoing “My God Is” series. This week’s thoughts center on the fact that our God is a prayer-answering God.

You may notice a new “Page” tab at the top of the home page: “Our Websites.” We’ve been noticeably absent while working on getting “The Old Gravel Road” book series started (be sure to check it out on the new page). However, we’re happy to say that you’ll be able to find us here at Petals from the Basket (as well as on our other sites) on a more regular basis going forward. This includes our biweekly “My God Is” videos from my mom, Lorraine Strohbehn, the most recent of which is below. Simply click on the video to watch and/or listen.
