<><><>
As I attempted in August, I'm going to perhaps try again & do it this time in August -
to only post this one blog post for the entire month.
The One Word in BOLD type will be the One Word FOCUS that week.
For now, I will be sharing the basics:
Scripture(s)
[I plan to LINK the One Word to Bible Hub Topical search]
As I have done with the 1st One Word,
I hope to add
at least that much each week for the other
One Words weekly.
These One Words are so very important
this fall & always
week of September 29
"... open your eyes to what God sees as BEAUTIFUL ... "
and thank Him for all the BEAUTY
He reveals to you.

1 Peter 3:3-4 NIV; Song of Solomon 4:7 ESV; 1 Samuel 16:7 ESV; Psalm 27:4 ESV |
"Jesus, Your BEAUTY surrounds. Help me to see."

It came to me as I pondered this new One Word that:
both encouragement & discouragement
have "courage" in the center.
Most of us prefer the first, but it takes courage for both,
maybe more for the latter.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD! Psalm 31:24 ESV |
Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV; Psalm 56:3-4 CSB; Psalm 27:1 NKJV; Joshua 1:9 NIV |
"Jesus, You are near. Make me courageous."
