Another wonderful Sunday post- Blessings- xo Diana
oh, you hit me in my sore spot, because
i am such a sluggard. i have to reward
myself to finish any chore and yearn for
a quiet corner to read every minute.
Oh I enjoyed reading this today! Great choices to share! I hope you will add my sister Mary to your prayer list They are trying to clear up her infection so she can have surgery for a pacemaker tomorrow. Thank you and have a beautiful week!
Hugs and Blessings,
Anne
Thanks for posting Proverbs 27:23, I've been mulling over it in the last week, in terms of sharpening my awareness of what's going on in the daily lives of my teenage kids and covering them with prayer, listening to them etc..
This is my good-night word for a good active start into the coming week! Thank you, Thistle! I am amazed always about your ideas of the proverbs. Good work!! I think its one of your important professions.
