I first made this sweet potato casserole a few years ago at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s one of those classic comfort food recipes and so popular for the holidays. It’s such an easy side dish to put together, too.

This is a review of Take Heart: 100 Devotions to Seeing God when Life’s Not Okay; all opinions expressed are mine.
We all walk through difficult seasons in life, and If you aren’t going through a tough time yourself right now, you probably have friends or family who are. Could these words have been written or spoken by you or someone you know?
My tasks outnumbered my time, and worry outweighed my ability to focus and get things done…
My world came to a standstill the day my friend died…
In my twelfth year as a journalist, I hit a big bump in my career. When the dust settled, I didn’t have a job…
Nighttime was the hardest after my husband left…
In three months I’ll turn fifty…. Shouldn’t I have achieved more by now? Why haven’t I accomplished my goals? What is God’s purpose for my life?
In the new book by the (in)courage community of writers, Take Heart: 100 Devotions to Seeing God When Life’s Not Okay, you’ll find honest, hard, and very relatable stories about challenging times these women have gone through.

If you’re in the mood for an autumn treat, keep this Pumpkin Coffee Cake in mind!

The best part, I think, is the very generous topping of streusel—yum! You just can’t go wrong with all that streusel! 🙂

Autumn…the year’s last, loveliest smile.—WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT
Hope you are enjoying the outdoor beauty and rich colors, the cooler autumn weather, and all the fun things autumn brings! Some of my favorite things about Fall are pumpkins, colorful leaves, maple-scented candles, apple cider and donuts, warm sweaters, and the coziness of home. What are some of your favorites?
