Just remembering things my parents said\u2026or the way my mom cooked\u2026or dad\u2019s humor\u2026 bring a smile to my face and lighten my spirit. When I cook fresh green beans, I bring them to a boil, drain in the colander and then proceed. I was asked recently why I do that first step. My reply was that I am not really sure, but that is what my mom always did!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ultalife.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2241 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/sweatshirt-e1520354275304-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"109\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ultalife.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2240 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/necklace-e1520354190695-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"109\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a>A big part of my family moved away almost 10 years ago. On days I am really missing them, I wear my necklace that is engraved with \u2018Mom\u2019. If it is winter, I wear my old Daytona sweatshirt and remember some of the wonderful weekends we had together. That sweatshirt is over 12 years old and I am hoping it lasts many more years.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I can become so burdened down with the stresses of problems that macaroni and cheese, pleasant memories of my parents or my favorite sweatshirt just don\u2019t bring comfort or peace to my soul. Then I can turn to the One who is always there and loves me most. In Peter 5:7 we find one of the most comforting scriptures in the Bible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ultalife.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2242 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FB-CastingCares-300x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FB-CastingCares-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FB-CastingCares-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FB-CastingCares-358x300.png 358w, https:\/\/ultalife.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FB-CastingCares.png 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When you are burdened with the cares of your life, humble yourself before God and cast your burdens before him.
