The little squigglies around the heart makes me think of birds. I share your hope and am thankful for God's perfect Love and gifts. You and your writing are a sample of God's perfection, you are truly a gift.

Richard...all during the time I have known you, you've been one to hold fast to your beliefs. You're a man of integrity. Rare to find someone of such high spiritual caliber. May God keep you under the shadow of his wings! Thank you for your sweet comment. If He can use me, broken that I am, it is because of His miraculous power. Hugs

The reliability of Providence is truly a beautiful marvel Eileen. I'm warmed by your Faith and style! We should do our best to give such gifts to others, to emulate the Creater of the Lights. Love it when you preach Poetess! J.A.B.

Yes, freely ye have received, freely give, Justin. I love that term, don't you? The Father of lights....beautiful. Oh...I used to preach...and I mean behind a pulpit. I've lost that fervor for now...Perhaps it will return to me. Thanks for the visit, my dear.
