A wonderful post and great way to keep people looking to their Bibles.
Love the photo at the top. That is so cute. This is a great Valentine's Day post.
Happy TT.
God sure knows about love..being He is LOVE!! Happy Valentine's Day! That song of Solomon can make me blush!
Sweet list -- I enjoyed it very much. Sweeter things in the Word than on Hallmark Cards, right! Happy TT!
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Definitely one of my favorites.
Happy V. day.
To love with actions, that encourages me the most to be active in my love for others, rather than just saying something... to do something is more in line with Jesus.. he loved us so much .. he died for us.
I joined the Show and Tell Fridays, and between that and your Marriage Mondays, I think I should be careful what I commit to.
Happy Valentines Day ((((((e-Mom)))))

Hi E-Mom
What a different world it would be if we all truly loved like 1 Corinthians 13. Great post.
I always enjoy reding your posts.

I like your header photo!
I would have to say # 6. I love that Bible scripture.
I love that first verse. At times I read through Proverbs, a chapter a day, and I always pick a verse or two to pray, and I always prayed that for my marriage when I came across it.
Nicholas: Thanks!
Lori: I do too! :~D
Jennifer: You are a wise woman to be praying the Scriptures over your marriage! Nice to see you here. :~D
