Living Life To The Full or What a Way To Live!!

No matter how successfully

We gain grandiose boast

If we fail on the scale of love

We fail what matters most

Nothing can take the place of it

No matter who/where we are

In every goal that we pursue

Love sets the highest bar

***

If we ask ourselves if we are loving people I am sure we all

would like to think we would say Yes! Of Course I am loving...

1 Cor.13 puts our quick replies to the test, doesn't it?!!

1 Cor.13:3-5

If I give all I possess to the poor 

and exult in the surrender of my body,a

 but have not love, I gain nothing...

Love is patient, 

love is kind. 

It does not envy, 

it does not boast, 

it is not proud. 

It is not rude, 

it is not self-seeking, 

it is not easily angered, 

it keeps no account of wrongs...

Every day is a test...a love-test, isn't it?!!

It's not hard to love the people and things 

nearest and dearest to our hearts💝💖💕

Hockey-lovin' brothers...

...but what about the vast rest of it?!!

This is my personal challenge today,

 and only for today

because what's the use of straining toward yesterday, 

or tomorrow?!

Life always happens, to all of us

Today!

No matter who or where we are

How fast or slow we climb

To all alike, life sets love's bar

At ‘one day at a time’

No matter how we fret and fuss

Or trust in God, or balk

He doles life’s toll to each of us

In measures of tick-tock

No matter what, we cannot haste

Or slow the steadfast surge

That runs us through with touch and taste

Where past and future merge

Whether the gale is soft or gruff

Whether we push or pull

God fills each day with quite enough

To live love to the full

So, no matter what Today's spree

May scatter in its wake

It will be worth it all if we

Make love its highest stake

'What's that word?' asked Granddaughter.

'What does it mean?' after I told her the word.

It means 'to treasure' I told her, like right now,

 I cherish time with you💖

Cherish the easy loves, for sure, but don't ignore the rest!

Maybe a resolution to refresh at this New Year??

sharing this cherished moment from yesterday...

I baked these rolls; 30 min. Dinner Rolls in the afternoon for

sloppy joes for supper.

While prepping supper my oldest grandson 

was SO hungry so I buttered 1/2 a roll for him

and off he hasted downstairs to where his siblings were playing

smacking his lips 😂💖

no surprise, his sister appeared and I gave her the same and off she went1

Chuckling, I grabbed my camera and waited...not very long!

...around the corner came youngest tot, not for a moment

 questioning whether he would get one too
