ReplyDeleteOh Sandra - that may be a new favorite quote for me! Wonderful reflections on a Sunday and I am grateful for you as a friend and sister in Christ - bless you!
Wonderful post this Sunday morning. Please add Beth to your prayer list as she goes to find out her treatment plant this week.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you today!
Such a beautiful post! Always a pleasure to come visit here. Prayer for Ed and Cheri and their hateful bitterness toward their oldest son. Life is too short for this behavior.
ReplyDeleteThank you and many blessings to you!
Anne
What a wonderful post. I do believe that laughter has cured us of many ills. It has kept me going sometimes when the road was so tough I was afraid to look ahead. Blessings to you and praying for those that need prayer- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLast night at a wedding, there was a dance for the married couples. They weeded them out, year by year and each one married over 30 years got to give advice to the newly marrieds. I told them to keep a good sense of humor....I am sending them this post! Laughter IS the best defense!
ReplyDeleteJoy! Joy! Joy!
