Love

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Christian Song of the day:

Friends

(CHORUS)

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways

Will keep the love that keeps us strong

GoodMorning ya'll!:D

I hope everyone is well today and is blessed beyond measure today. As I was reading some of your blogs I realized how much they made me smile and laff out loud. Ya'll are a great bunch of folks, remember that! I heard something the other day I thought was really profound...It was a christian counselor...He said alot of people (of which I am included) have guilt/shame/issues with being "good" and that everyday tell themselves ..."Now I am gonna be my own best friend & I'm not going to say anything to myself(negative things) that I wouldn't say to my closest friend". He said also that in order to love God and others you must love yourself( not be IN love with yourself:P )...I hope everyone will love themselves today and then pass it on...I think of you fondly often...XoXo~Bekka

n elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. "You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line said to the little fella.

Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles," she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful."

The boy looked up, "Really?"

"Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles."

The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."
