Good morning, friends! August is such a lovely month. Why? Several reasons. The temps have cooled…just a little. The gnats have disappeared. And…I celebrate a wedding anniversary.  Woohoo! I think another year is worth celebrating!  Don’t you? So while I’m enjoying my week of relaxation, I hope you’ll check out the links in this month’s Share the Love.

 

And remember…God is good and you are loved!

Share the Love ~ June

And patience, experience; and experience, hope. Romans 5:4

It’s hard to be patient when learning new things or dealing with health issues. I tend to have more patience with others than I do with myself.

Yet, Paul reminds us that through our patience we learn. And when looking back, we discover our prior learning offers hope for the future.

I found this quote when preparing for this month’s theme and thought I’d share it with you. I’ve it posted where I can see it every day. I hope it encourages you too!
