These Things

Have you read or heard this verse a hundred times? Maybe more?
I still need to hear it again. And again.

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

Philippians 4:8 ESV

These lilies? They are lovely. I am grateful to the gal who lived here before us - she planted these, and now we enjoy them. I hope what I plant will grow to be enjoyed by those who live here after us.

  1. Those are indeed lovely lilies that you have there. It's great that you can enjoy the work of the person who was there before you. I like the idea of leaving something behind so that someone else can enjoy. Stopping by from the Sunday Community.

  2. I love this passage! It's the recalibration, the refocusing, the reinvigorating that we so often need. Thanks, Maureen!

  5. I used to have this verse memorized :( Obviously din't memorize it well enough.
    A friend and I have challenged each other to take every thought captive this week. This verse goes hand in hand with our challenge.
