More about Beaumont Garden neighborhood of A Caring Place.
Our neighborhood coordinators, Beth Alexander & Wendi Keene really knocked it out of the ballpark with their June Event: Bluegrass Jam with Terri Powell.
The music was fabulous and the location under an old oak tree with a delightful breeze keeping everything cool was paradise.
One hundred and fourty-four people attended. We must make this an annual event!!!

Knowing Scripture is a beautiful gift. Living Scripture is where it changes the world. Jesus didn't simply call people to learn truth... He called them to become people of love, mercy, kindness, and compassion. ❤️

“If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge... but do not have love, I am nothing.” — 1 Corinthians 13:2

A heart that reflects Christ is worth more than perfect words. A life marked by grace speaks louder than memorized verses alone. Today, may we not only know God's Word, but live it in the way we treat the people around us. If you're looking to grow deeper in faith, our devotionals, peaceful worship playlists, and Guided Moments with God audio experiences are all linked in bio. Thank you for helping us continue sharing hope, encouragement, and the love of Christ with this community every day.

DEPRESSION TIPS:

Shower. Not a bath, a shower.
Use water as hot or cold as you like. You don’t even need to wash. Just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. Sit on the floor if you need to.

Moisturize everything.
Use whatever lotion you like.
Unscented? Dollar store lotion? Fancy 48 hour lotion that makes you smell like a field of wildflowers? Use whatever you want, and use it all over your entire skin.

Put on clean, comfortable clothes.
Put on your favorite underwear.
Those ridiculous boxers you bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? Put them on.

Drink cold water.
Use ice. If you want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

Clean something.
Doesn’t have to be anything big. Organize one drawer of a desk. Wash five dirty dishes. Do a load of laundry. Scrub the bathroom sink.

Blast music.
Listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. Sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

Make food.
Don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. Take the time and make food. Even if it’s ramen. Add something special to it, like a soft boiled egg or some veggies. Prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.

Make something.
Write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. Even if you don’t think you’re good at it. Create.

Go outside.
Take a walk. Sit in the grass. Look at the clouds. Smell flowers. Put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

Call someone.
Call a loved one, a friend, a family member, Talk to a stranger on the street. Have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. If you can’t bring yourself to call, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. Even if you don’t say much, listen to them. It helps.

Cuddle your pets if you have them.Take pictures of them. Talk to them. Tell them how you feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out, anything.

May seem small or silly to some, but this list keeps people alive.

*** At your absolute best you won’t be good enough for the wrong people. But at your worst, you’ll still be worth it to the right ones. Remember that. Keep holding on.

*** In case nobody has told you today I love you and you are worth your weight and then some in gold, so be kind to yourself and most of all keep pushing on!!!!

Find something to be grateful for!

May I please get 2 friends or family members to copy and re-post? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening.
