Hard to be focused on what is right all the time, though it shouldn't be.<br />I hope we can all exchange cards for Christmas this year, at least I would love for the blogging community to do that :).Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679083454202307997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-86212720682075526482018-09-26T08:18:18.467-04:002018-09-26T08:18:18.467-04:00Oh my heart's desire is to the woman that gave...Oh my heart's desire is to the woman that gave all.

We don't always think about what we do in our daily lives but hearing this makes me realize that I should always think about my stance and my relationship with Jesus. Peace and Blessings.

But God is the great equalizer, isn't He? The high and mighty, the lowly and poor, all face God eye to eye one day. The poorest woman, who gave her two mites, was the richest. That just makes me smile.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-635536439835850922018-09-25T06:15:38.254-04:002018-09-25T06:15:38.254-04:00Thank you, Terri.

Actually, it was from a gentleman in the church who picks out special cards to give to people on their birthdays, etc., and he doesn't really know me that well...but I told him he couldn't have picked a more perfect card for me.

God is whispering to many hearts today...and I wonder how many are truly listening. I have to tune out the noise of the world and my own desires so I can hear Him. So thankful when I do, because He speaks peace to me. Thank you for your thoughts today dear friend.Pamela M.

When we read it God uses it to speak to our heart, he may have different things to reveal to each person but the words are the same. We grow spiritually by listening to what is whispered to our own hearts. This is about what my nephew preached on yesterday.
