"Love does trump it all!" So hard sometimes but such an effective tool to change the world! And humility and love do go hand in hnad. Hadn't thought about that before. Thank you for the congratulations and for the "a-ha" moment - a gift today my friend! Blessings to you!

Congrats, Sam. I have humility and I don't have hate; but I'm not humble (LOL).... Have a blessed day.

Sam Kauffman
Date: 7/18/2021 10:12:00 AM

Thank you Marilene! Great distinction! Found a great biblical definiton of humility that changed my life. Humility and lowliness meant knowing your need for God. That gives everything its proper place and perspective for me. Blessings my friend!

Many thanks and much gratitude my friend! I have to admit it took a whole bunch of attempts but I really liked this one especially in light of the "hate" I see in so many swirling around us. Take care.

If only I could make people eat those 3 little words so that they can grow up big and strong.

Sam Kauffman

Thank you Denise. I see so much hate and indifference around us. I keep thinking nothing grows in the soil of hate. It is a wasteland. Hopefully we can change that and create a garden where love and positivity grow. Nice to meet you. Thank you for your visit! All the best! :D

Awesome write!!! Makes me humble in your presence :) Love it. God bless you always, Love, Gina

Thank you my friend! "Ditto" to quote a line from the movie Ghost! And that door swings both ways! Found a definition for lowly and humble from Old Testament times that changed my life. Humble and lowly meant knowing your need for God. That is so clearly evident in your beautiful writings! It is a joy and blessing to share our faith together under humility's wings! Blessings to you Gina!

Very grateful for your message Michelle! Thank you! This was harder than I thought but once I got the hang of it several were born. This, however, is my favorite. Enjoy the lasagna!
