Day 31

My final day of bible verses.  Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I thought the topic of love is a nice intro. 

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8   "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."

I'm so thankful for the warmer weather and sunshine we had this past weekend.  Come on Spring! 

On a different note:  I've been researching an organization that is dear to my heart -spreading the love of Jesus and providing help to pregnant women.  check out  themercykenyahouse.org     -Their mission statement is: The Mercy House exists to provide alternative options for pregnant girls living in the streets of Kenya. The Mercy House will aid them in nutrition, housing, prenatal care, counseling, Biblical teaching and job skills for sustainable living.  - Check out their website and click on the Vision tab and read The Issue-it's heartbreaking. 

 

Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly

Flashback Wednesday

Last night I saw one of my old containers in our spare closet, so I  pulled it out and it was filled with pictures.  It was so fun looking through them!   I thought I'd post the first few pictures I pulled out.  I really don't know how any of them are related-they span over a 15 year period - they were all lumped together.    A few are definitely embarrassing!

I was a Pinto in little league - I think I was 10 or 11 in this picture -what a goofy hat! "Pinto" -what a terrible name!  Love my pearl earrings!  1991 or 1992

This was my sophomore year picture.  One of my friends made me that necklace, I was so proud of it.  Thank goodness my writing has improved since then.  -1996-1997

Brittany -this was the first picture I pulled out, so I had to post it.  Look how cute you and Kyle are- high school sweethearts! You guys have been together half your lives.  That's awesome!    -1999

New Year's Eve 1999-I can't remember whose house this was at.  I'm top left.  Mark kissing the deer cracks me up!

5 year class reunion - this picture brings back a lot memories- it's funny, I was in preschool with some of those girls.  I'm on the left again- 2004

Day 26

Ephesians 3:17-19   "And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
