ReplyDeleteIt’s Friday and there are still more lists to read. Today I finally got to yours. First, how exactly did you type this quick. Moms are miracles with feet!! And because I’ve said this a million times myself, because I just don’t get it sometimes, because I’ve been such a problem for him over the years - my favorite from your list is 208. a gracious, loving compassionate God. He loves me despite me.
May God Bless and Keep you and all of yours this day
