Listing my blessings...









"For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth, Over and around us lies:

  4. Agreeing with you in prayer for his body, H2T (head to toe), to represent ALL that Christ died for on the cross- salvation, healing, wholeness.

    Everytime I come to your blog the verse gets me! My passion is building/ designing even though i'm not at it much anymore. Regardless, I love it's meaning. Mostly because my life is still in the building stage as I journey to my heavenly home.

    Beautiful thank-you's!
