Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows........James 1:17

I wanted to add this verse to my post because it is one of my favorites. The book of James is definitely my favorite in the Bible. When I am feeling down I read from James and it always reminds me that we are supposed to face trials in our walk on this earth...... "Consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know the testing of your faith develops perseverance" James 1: 2-3..........I am always revived when I read these verses. I just wanted to share some of my favorites. Another of my favorites is in Isaiah when the Lord says "Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool"....Isaiah 66:1. This verse always reminds my how big the Father is and how small we are. It helps me put the size of the Lord's power into better perspective. And last but least, " The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."......John 1:14. These are just a few of my favorite ones. There are many more and I think I am going to start adding them to posts. They make my heart sing when I read them and I hope my friends who blog too will enjoy reading them as well. I can't think of a better book to quote than God's word.

Was blessed by your scripture. David G. talked to the kids today about the 26 verses they have memorized. It was so sweet...He would call out a letter and they would say the verse. I like the throne and footstool one!! God Bless You!
I love you!
