On to verse two! I was able to memorize 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a and even my kids learned parts of it. A very encouraging start.
I have loved these verses for a long time and decided they would be good to have committed to memory for all those times I need to cling to these words and the fact that He is all I need, gives me all I need, and will always be there for me. He is the strength of my heart and my portion forever!
I have decided to participate in my friend Nicole’s challenge to memorize a verse a month. I feel like this in an area I need to have some serious growth in. How can I be close to Him if his word is not hidden in my heart? So, here I go!
The verses in 1 Corinthians 13 have been close to my heart lately, as I try to impart them on my kids and also realize how much I need them. I decided to start here. It is a little lengthy, but I really want to have it memorized so I can draw on it as I need to as I instruct my children and have struggles of my own as I try to love others.
I would love to have others join me in Nicole’s challenge!
It’s another rainy day (although the rain has started yet) and I want to cuddle up with my book (I have two chapters left) and a cup of hot chocolate. I can’t read right now, so I went with the hot chocolate. Delicious!
We have been having problems here with being loving and kind. All of us. I am constantly telling my kids to be kind and to love one another, but I am often finding that the way I am telling them to be kind and loving in an unkind and unloving way.
I made this little reminder today and let the kids stick the hearts on. We put it right above the table where we can all see it and hopefully be reminded by it and meditate on it. We all need it! I like the way it turned out, especially with Valentine’s Day around the corner.
My birthday happened about a month ago and I was blessed by so many people with so much love and sweet treasures!
One of the gifts I received from my dear friend Georgia was the most gorgeous quilt ever! I was SO blown away and excited and shocked! I have made my fair share of quilts but always give them away so to be given one and to be given such an amazing one, I was just so very blessed! I absolutely love it. The colors, the birds and deer and how cuddly it is. It is wonderful. And I seriously think I have used it every single day I have had it. Thank you, Georgia, for my lovely, snuggly, beautiful gift!
