2017 is closing quickly on us as we are already into the 5th day of November!

in blog land
(probably Facebook now)

| " 4 Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! 5 Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. 6 Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every detail of your life, 7 then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. " The Passion Translation (TPT) |
In previous years, I have shared scriptures as well
but let's look at these afresh and give our gratitude to God
So let’s keep on giving our thanks to God, for He is so good!
His constant, tender love lasts forever!"
