Sunday Solace: Through A Glass, Darkly...

1 Corinthians 13:12

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.




May the light of God's Word illuminate your path and guide your every step on the road of life. And in knowing Him, may you feel the radiant warmth of His love and bask in the assurance that He absolutely adores you...

Warmly,

Mrs. Magpie (Sheila)

Oh Mrs. Mag...what I needed to hear tonight, today and always. To follow that illumination to light the darkness I sometimes feel. Your Sunday Solace means so much to me and many others. Thank so much for your spirit & kindness...

He loves you with all of His heart, Muse. What a gift!

Janie, I'm so glad! I had meant to change the music, but I fell sound asleep and had this set to roll. So it came up to "Green Acres." :-) And thank you in return, my friend, for always being such a loyal, sweet friend. You're a sweetheart!

Carol, you are more than welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

XO,

Sheila :-)

Good morning Sheila, thank you for your visit this morning and for your comforting words. I admit to some second thoughts about my decision but only for a second or two. The replacement is a must and then I will have two good knees. That is the light at the end of the tunnel.

I know the drill and I will be fine.
I'll be back as soon as I can. I'll miss you.

Love and thanks coming your way...Jeanne

Hi Mrs. Magpie :)
What a wonderful verse and photo today - and your sweet words with it, too.
I hope you had a fun weekend with the bbq. We're slowly getting back to normal after my son had a reaction to some medicine - it was a loooong night. ;) Hope you get a chance to get some good rest ~ hugs

Thank each of you so much for your comments and for dropping by to visit. Isn't God good? :-)

Sometimes, I just sit and am overwhelmed by how much he loves us. Today was one of those days. Each and every minute spent in His presence is a minute to celebrate. I'm so thankful for His love and mercies. Makes me want to shout for joy! :-)

Hope all of you had a lovely weekend and will have a lovely week to come.

Shelia,
You and I are in total agreement, every morning I walk to my window facing the eastern sky and I ask HIM if this is the day that He will be coming for us,because I am so looking forward to spending eternity with HIm.

Thank you for this lovely post,I always enjoy visiting with you. As I have said before, I joined blogging so I could meet other christian women and to be able to share together so many things especially our love for the Lord. I am thankful that we have become friends.

Blessings,
Sue
