Thanks to you and the rest of The Sunday Community, I’ve got a head start on worship for tomorrow. I can hardly wait to join you in celebration! You know, the way we always do it – singing from the same hymnal!
Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me! Bless his holy name!
I just read that scripture a couple of days ago in Isaiah and it really struck me. So wonderful being reminded here tonight. Thank you Jennifer for this sweet truth!
Just beautiful. So thankful He finds beauty in all His creation.
Thank you, Jennifer.
I just want to squeeze your daughter, she is so adorable. This warmed my heart, thinking about her taking snapshots and learning how to really see. Love it!
Sometimes our children reopen our eyes to His truths… Beautiful indeed…
Oh, how precious! You have taught your daughter well. Loved this!
Oh how sweet! And so true.
Love the picture/verse♥

I love it. I love her. And I declare, I’m coming to give her a personal hug. I mean it.
And I *still* say He’s beautiful, too.
So true. And a marvelous reminder. Made me think of the impoverished who live in garbage dumps in various locations in our world and no matter how horrific it is they always find good things. Here’s a post [Part 1 of 4] that I began early on. In a way, it fits right into what you are saying and sharing and opening eyes and hearts. Thanks.

When I began to lose my hair due to long term medications, stress and severe chronic pain I truly felt ugly.
It was through our Heavenly Father’s love that I began to see the beauty.
Beautiful reminder.
I hope you have a blessed week! Happy July 4th!
Love your daughter’s vision. Oh, how I long to see like that!
your daughter is so wise…wonder where she gets that from? Yes, He is beautiful…learning to see it more and more…Thank you, friend, for how you see Him, and then share with us 🙂
