The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him.

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving,
and tell of all thy wondrous works.

a small card
in a devotional book
from a thrift store
words of encouragement
from one person to another
I keep the card with the book
and its history today
and tomorrow
We also bought used books from Mead Library in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. After I read them, I can give them to someone else, or donate to another place. Lately, I am especially interested in memoirs.
And I bought Jan Karon’s new book: Bathed In Prayer, Father Tim’s Prayers, Sermons, and Reflections from the Mitford Series. I looked for the book at local stores, and then bought from Amazon. I appreciate being able to order online too. I have also bought used books from Amazon.
Please see Jan Karon’s site for more information. I love her novels. They are deep and true, so well-written.
It is endless – all the ways to learn, bless, and be blessed.
Peaceful gratitude,
