1000 gifts: The everyday


Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails...

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

Overwhelmed by the measure of His love, I give thanks...

says the LORD.

they shall be white as snow..."

Isaiah 1:8

Another uplifting Post! I had to go thru it a couple of times just to reread the list, see the blue sky and some of my favorite people! ("Angel babes" as Gram would always say! ) Hope you have a great day, hugs and kisses to all, plus a belated happy Valentines Day! The cards are in the mail. Finally! Love to all

Oh the richness of His love. It shines through everything on your list Heather - birthed in your dear heart.
I have been negligent about my list. I have also neglected my journal. I must get back on track!
