Through the gifts and the sorrows, the happiness and the lowliness, the blessings and the pain- God is faithful. May we continue to make the next right step in each season of life.

Praying that with everything in me, Ruth. Thanks.

Philippians 4:8-9

...fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. . .then the God of peace will be with you.

A life verse for me, Brenda. Thanks.

Brenda Meyer's avatar

the simplicity and yet the depth of your heart -- there is of course no surprise then that our Heavenly Father unfolds -- uncovers -- allows you to see with fresh vision all you see with eyes and heart! And allows you to be a blessing to your family, your friends and all people who would see and feel what He reveals through you.

because He taught me to love first -- I send you love...

He unfolds. Uncovers. Allows.

EXACTLY. Just scrambly data in my brain without His light on it. Receiving your (His) beautiful love with joy, Brenda. Praying your cup brims with it today. 🧡

This is EXACTLY the post I needed to read to begin my Substack year. Less is more. Less is deeper. Less is truer. Less is beautiful-er. Less, less, less. Thank you, Cheryl!

All receive a blessing when reading words inspired by God, and the writer is the most blessed of all as God receives glory.
