As part of my goal to write more in 2025, I decided to join back up with Five Minute Fridays Link-Ups as often as I can. Here is my post for this week’s prompt: Time begins now… When I saw today’s prompt of “favor“, I immediately thought of God’s favor and grace in salvation.

Last night as I was making cornbread from a mix I had brought from our other house. As I set everything up, I realized that the one thing I was missing for the process was a mixing bowl!
