Linking up with emily at chatting at the sky (her last tuesdays unwrapped) and jen at finding heaven.
I look so forward to your words. They are always so god breathed and honest/authentic. This is a great thanks-giving post.
ReplyDeleteKendal,
ReplyDeleteI think that is the very heart of praise, and the mother of thanksgiving – what you have done – then written here today.
and
the words
lined up
like
pearls
on a string
God Bless
