Don't be scared off by the title! Love and War by John and Stasi Eldredge is out just in time for Valentine's Day.  And what else could Love and War be about other than marriage!  I mean where else do the terms love and war work so well together? lol.  I love my marriage, but sometimes you want to call war because of disagreements. I'll admit I wasn't expecting to get much out of this book.  We've (Mr. C & I) been together for a long time, so I've read a lot of marriage counselling books over the years.    But to my surprise I was sobbing by the the end of chapter one.  Th...

Are you a fan of Jane Austen? I know I am ever since Anne Hathaway played Jane Austen in the movie, Becoming Jane.  It's amazing how movies can bring an old book back to life.  I remember hearing of this book when I was younger, but really didn't give it a second glance until the past year or so.  It's a classic I know! SO, when I saw that there was a version coming out of this book I jumped at the chance to read it.  It is the Sense and Sensibility Insight Edition put out by Bethany House. I had to laugh because I brought this book with to the dentist the other day and I had ...

So I found a new publisher!  Their name is Revival Nation Publishing.  I am always happy to see Christian publishers coming up, and as always I'm curious as to what they're putting out! I contacted the publisher and got a copy of a few books that I'm excited to read! I also recieved some copies to share with my readers, which I'm thrilled about!  So this month's giveaway will be for a children's book!  Which I'm quite thrilled about because what a better way to encourage our children is to read to them and to have great books for them to read from! So onto the book! Jellybean b...

Welcome to  Word-Filled Wednesday!

The purpose of Word filled Wednesday is to share God’s word (no famous quotes or other literature — only the beautiful word of our Father) through photo’s & a Bible verse!

sweet dreams

1 John 4:21 NIV

And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

 

I looked up the word Love; it is listed 500 times, I think God was trying to tell us something don’t you?  I than referenced Love and brother; it came up 10X and was listed both in new and old testament.  It sure made me think about who is my brother… this little baby above is one of the priviledged little people who get to be blessed by my good friend who fosters.  I can’t help but think how much God calls us to love those who are not our blood family, but those who need it.

Hugs and prayers to you today!

You can find McLinky at our lovely hostess Christy’s blog  Critty Joy

God Bless!
